PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — To generations now, he’s been that calm, steadying avuncular presence that has come through our car radio grill. He’s been the voice of reason and optimism amid the typical chaos that goes along with another faltering Philadelphia team. A trusted staple, he’s had an innate ability to reach into the minds of fans in this town and know what they were thinking. In 30 years in this market, he may have questioned his own wisdom from time to time, but rarely did anyone else.
Tonight, 94WIP’s Glen Macnow, one of the truly good guys in Philadelphia’s hardscrabble sports media community, will be honored by the Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, as part of its 19th induction class, joining Lexie Gerson, the late Phil Glassman, Amy Gross, Art Jacoby, Ira Meyers, Michael Tabas and Moe Tener.
