Jack Whitaker Quotations

I was an A's and Phillies fan, ... It was a pretty good sports town, even then.

Lloyd's of London was so expensive (to insure the game coverage), it was cheaper for CBC to put a full crew in a stand-by game, whether we got on (due to inclement weather in the primary game) or not, ... I think that we got on the air for about five innings in three years.

I was too short for basketball and too little for football, ... They had (three-time NFL Pro Bowler) Bucko Kilroy about a year ahead of me. He was full-grown then.

(Traveling) was difficult, when the kids were younger, ... I'm glad that I don't have to do it today.

The Sixties and Seventies were the best times in the NFL, ... I covered Jim Brown, Gayle Sayers, Jurgenson, Unitas, Star and those great Packers teams. It was more fun than work.

Roughian was the roughest, ... When something happens to a highly talented horse, the sorrow was intensified.

People forget that (Facenda) was a great news man, ... They just think of him as the voice of NFL Films. John was a great fan. We had a great set up for 12 years.
