Started out as a placekicker at the University of Arkansas and later with Chicago Cardinals and New York Giants, he would later had a more prominent role as a play by play broadcaster, with both CBS and Fox Sports.
At CBS, he did not only the NFL, but also the Masters, NCAA Division I men's basketball, and U.S. Open tennis. A more perfect example of his work at CBS is the 4th round of the US Open 1991, the infamous "Very clear my butt!" match between Jimmy Connors and Aaron Krickstein, on Labor Day 1991:
When CBS' NFL rights was overtaken by Fox after the 1993 National Conference Championship game, his partnership with John Madden continued on for more years. No harms no fouls, truly a great team and the best NFL commentary pairing ever.
In Super Bowl XXXVI, the final drive. Live on Fox.
His final play by play ever was the 2010 Cotton Bowl at Cowboys Stadium between Ole Miss and Oklahoma State.
He along with Al Michaels, Dick Enberg, and a few others are a great joy to listen to during the NFL season and at other events.
He will be missed, along with his potent potables.
