        Lost too many broadcasting legends this year with Vern, Enberg, and Scully. Cubs winning it all brought out the old memories of Harry Carey. I'm getting depressed.

            Now you might want to keep me away from sharp objects after that statement.

              Nessler will be good. I can't think of who else is out there. Marv Albert? Herbstreit but he doesn't do play by play. Musberger is a legend but he's rough now and in retirement mode

                          come on down. May have to share a room

                          Probably going to be a rough home schedule. Louisville & Miami the headliners. Want to take my boy to his first game this year. Hopefully they don't pull any Friday bs games this year

                                  Verne was good. Props to him.

                                  Likable, and guy lasted forever. Think about it, he was broadcasting some of the early Cowboy Super Bowls.

                                  Would like to hear Verne's best story of debauchery on his road-trips.
                                  Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?

                                        If it means not having to listen to Gary Danielson give his always wrong opinion on everything, I'm fine with Verne retiring.

                                        Gary isn't sticking around, is he?

                                          Class act and one of the best
                                          Real stations like these don't use a quota and look for unqualified blacks, latinos, gays, women, and sports stars to do the commentating, and actually hire the best available for the most part, and that is why there are so many good ones.
                                          Every once in a while they get stuck with dead weight with someone like Joe Buck or Tim McCarver, but it's very rare.

                                          ESPN refuses to take notes and hire the best available, which is why is it basically unwatchable these days.
                                          At least Vern will still be doing March Madness.

                                                  Won't be the same without him. I didn't care who was playing SEC on CBS was entertaining

                                                  He will be missed for sure
