    I spent many a childhood night under the covers listening to Karvellas call Bullets games on a little radio pressed to my ear so my parents wouldn't hear me.

    When I learned he was into soccer, too, it made me appreciate him even more.

    He was also a local sports anchor for awhile in DC and you can bet he gave the Dips good coverage. A lot of kids my age in DC saw their first soccer highlites on TV because Karvellas showed them on Channel 5.

    RIP, good sir.

    "Bullseye!"

    I too was a Karvellas listener from the bedroom.

    I can still hear his voice:

    "You're watching Cosmos Soccer"....as he led to the commercial break. He had a special way of calling a game and pronouncing the players names. Great voice.

    Ah, the memories of radio and WOR Channel 9 on my rabbit ears!
