Jim McKay in 1980

5) If you had been Buzz Aldrin on Apollo 11, wouldn’t you at least have thought about shoving Neil Armstrong aside and being the first man on the moon? I’ve read a lot about how he always resented Armstrong stepping on the moon first, him being the Commander of the flight. Hey, asshole – there was NO ONE ELSE ON THAT WHOLE WORLD!!! Who coulda stopped you? Let’s see: shove Armstrong aside and be known as the first man to set foot on another world, or as the guy named after the sound a vibrator makes. - XMASTIME

Jim McKay deserves a full 30 for 30 documentary episode on how he was able to present the USA/USSR hockey game at Lake Placid without giving away the stunning outcome, which he already knew before the tape-delayed game was then played for people to witness. How did he possibly not crack? Was this LIVE live, or taped? Did it take him a few tries before they determined there were no clues on his face at all? And how tempting was it for him to just bust out with the information, ruining it for everybody else but making him a legend (albeit a bad one)?

I mean it's not Buzz Aldrin territory, but he did hold the greatest secret in the world all by himself for a minute there, and was nothing but a total pro.
