That's a shame. Good broadcaster, steady as they come. RIP.

A lot of the bombastic announcers could learn a thing or two by watching his commentary. One of the great ones.

He tailed off a bit in his last few years, but in his prime there was no NFL play-by-play guy that was better.

This, he was a good as they come in his prime. Feel like I lost a piece of my childhood. Fond memories of listening to him call games on CBS back in the 70's. In the 80's there was nothing better than watching a game done by Pat and Madden. RIP Last edited by BYU 14 : 04-16-2013 at 05:44 PM. |

He was the guy to keep people sane while listening to Madden.

Heard about this from Jim Nance, who is down here working the golf tournament. Sad indeed. RIP
