Mike Patrick

I was devasted by the news of Mike's passing. He's been my friend for 50 years. I met Mike in 1975 when he was hired to be the weekend sportscaster at WMAL-TV/7 in Washington, DC. I was the weekday sportscaster. Mike was a gem. He was the best play-by-play sportscaster ever. He taught me how to do the job the right way. We saw each other off and on over the years. Played golf now and then. Talked often. He was a good friend and one of the nicest people I have ever known I'm going to miss our occasional chats. Rest in Peace my friend. You earned it.

Always liked watching Mike Patrick and Joe Theismann calling games on Sunday Night Football (prior to NBC) and Joe always had to stay neutral when Washington was playing. Mike will be missed by all of the NFL fans around the world and there's a Golden Microphone waiting for him in heaven.

There wasn't a nicer guy than Mike. Mike was my step- brother and was always so kind to my family. He would visit my Dad weekly at Ashby Ponds in his final years. My Dad always looked forward to his visits.
I will never forget when Mike secured 2 tickets for me for the Broncos/Eagles game so that I could impress my boyfriend at the time, who was a Bronco's fanatic. Well I guess it worked because that boyfriend "Joe"is now my husband.
Rest in peace Mike. You will be missed!!!
