Dick Enberg, longtime sports broadcaster, has died at 82.

The sports broadcaster was found dead at his home in La Jolla, Calif., after he failed to make a flight to Boston to be with family. Enberg's wife, Barbara, was in Boston and was expecting his arrival.

Enberg’s daughter said the family believes Enberg died of a heart attack but was awaiting the official report.

Enberg got his start in broadcasting with UCLA basketball and went on to call Super Bowls, Olympics, Final Fours, and Major League Baseball and NFL games. He retired from his TV job with the Padres in 2016, according to the AP, after six decades.

Enberg was inducted into the broadcasters' wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2015 as the recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award.

He started at CBS in 2000, doing the NFL, college basketball, tennis and golf.

“All of us at CBS Sports are saddened to hear of the passing of our friend and colleague Dick Enberg,” said Sean McManus, chairman, CBS Sports. “There will never be another Dick Enberg. As the voice of generations of fans, Dick was a masterful storyteller, a consummate professional and a true gentleman. He was one of the true legends of our business. His passion, energy and love for the game will surely be missed. Our deepest sympathies go out to Barbara and his entire family.”

Enberg won 13 Sports Emmy Awards and a Lifetime Achievement Emmy. His catchphrases included “Touch ‘em all" and "Oh, my!"

Fox Sports 1 tackled eight Sports Emmy Awards to lead all content distributors, the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced Tuesday night.

NBC finished second with seven awards, followed by Foxsport.com’s six wins and ESPN and HBO with five awards each. FS1’s Fox Sports Live and CBS’ Super Bowl 50 coverage tied for the most individual wins with three, according to NATAS.

“This has been another amazing year for Sports television,” said Bob Mauro, President, NATAS in a statement. “The diverse, inclusive, and innovative programming of Sports television continues to raise the bar of what is possible in allowing the fans to view the game in new and exciting ways. In addition to the outstanding work by this evening’s nominees, we are also honored to salute the iconic broadcaster, Verne Lundquist, for his unique and insightful perspective on golf, basketball, football, swimming, track & field and almost every sport known to man!”

Jim Simpson, veteran sportscaster and a key part of the ESPN on-air team at launch, died Jan. 13 at 88 following a short illness.

Besides ESPN, which he joined in 1979, Simpson worked for ABC, CBS and NBC, as well as TNT.

In 1998, Simpson received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the annual Sports Emmy Awards, presented by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. In 2000, he was inducted into the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association Hall of Fame.

“Jim brought tremendous credibility to ESPN in our early days, doing whatever was needed to help build the network,” ESPN's founder and first president, Bill Rasmussen, said. “Jim was a television legend.”

Simpson’s career started with writing an outdoors column for a weekly Washington newspaper, which led to a radio show. Several radio positions followed, including White House correspondent at WWDC.

In January 1949, he departed radio to join brand-new Channel 9 in Washington, doing sports and working alongside anchor Walter Cronkite. After working for all three of the broadcast networks at the time, he shifted to cable in 1979.

“Jim Simpson saw the future of sports television was on cable, and his move to ESPN gave our company instant credibility and stature,” said John Wildhack, ESPN executive VP, programming and production. “His unsurpassed professionalism and smooth delivery graced our telecasts for many years. There has never been a finer or more unassuming man to reach such heights in his profession. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and many friends and colleagues.”

Simpson covered 14 Olympic Games, six Super Bowls, six World Series and 16 MLB All-Star games. He covered all of the Grand Slam golf and tennis events and all major college football bowl games, including 14 Orange Bowls. He also spent 15 seasons as an AFL and NFL broadcaster.
