R.I.P. Stu

Sad news today as long-time sportscaster Stu Nahan passed away at the age of 81. Along with a guest spot on Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Stu is best known for his work in the Rocky series. Working with partner Bill Baldwin, Stu called Rocky's title fights vs. Apollo Creed and Clubber Lang.

In Rocky IV, Stu teamed up with Warner "Let's Go to the Videotape" Wolfe to call Ivan Drago's massacre of Apollo Creed. I was disapointed when Stu didn't get the call to go to Moscow to announce Balboa-Drago. Honestly, Barry Tompkins and Al Bandeiro did that fight no justice.

Farewell Stu:
