Has anyone ever met Brent Musberger in Las Vegas?

[ChuckyTheGoat]

I see he departed as Raider broadcaster. Guy is 83 years old, so he doesn't need to explain it to anyone. Thought he sounded really good w/ Lincoln Kennedy:

1) Crossed paths w/ Brent once b4 he went to Las Vegas. Had a few words w/ him.

2) Saw him in Vegas maybe three years ago. I actually saw him picking out his sheets at the South Point. Talked to him about the Raid/Clev game that was coming up that weekend.

Would be a great guy to shoot the bull with at the bar. Imagine some of the stories he could tell!

It was a Sunday must, wonder what those ratings was?

Yes, Jack! NFL Today was a great show. I think the ratings were pretty strong.

Yes, polo! Awesome voice.

Think about all the big events he called in his day. I talked to him a little about the 1987 NCAA final Indiana vs Syracuse.

I did meet Chris Fowler, Coach Lee Corso and Craig James, I think in 1991 maybe 92 Coach and James spent about 30 minutes just talking to my cousin and myself like fans you met at the game, Fowler seemed like a dik

Yeah, he called a great Coll FB game. I know Brent got to be a Miami FL fan...just b/c they came up big in so many games he called.

At 83 you ride or sail off into the sunset.

[VeggieDog]

Yep. Several years ago at South Point. Didn't talk, I just said hi and shook his hand. He was friendly.

Jack, I'll give you my best Brent M memory:

*1988 NFL Season. Playoffs wrap around the New Year. Super Bowl in Jan 1989:

SF/CIN. Many connections between Niners and Bengals, since Walsh coached at Cincinnati. Walsh (arguably) should have been the CIN head coach in late 70s (instead of San Fran).

Bengals lead, but Niners rally. Win a great game, 20-16.

Brent must have great intel, b/c he asked Walsh a question that needed no reply:

"In some ways this may have been a sad day. Was this the last game for the great coach Bill Walsh?"

Brent didn't have to say another word. Walsh hugged his son, and that was it.

[pimike]

Yes several times at South Point.

hall-of-famer many times over

The first year he was removed from Herbstreit and Saturday Night Football... I was literally shocked. He still had 2 good years left in him. They were the best together.

I'm surprised Musburger didn't say... "She looks like she could suck a tennis ball through a tennis racquet. Wow!"

Brent actually caught grief for that comment. Amazing. What he said was complimentary and very tame.

As a kid in the 80's these are the voices I think of when watching football, ad Summerall.

When ask about it, her dad said, he didn't think there was anything wrong or inappropriate with Brent's comments, and that pretty much put an end to it

[jjgold]

He was legendary gambler too
Still around on VSIN Sunday’s

Its funny when a broadcasting crew goes through their own pregame of what their going to show during the telecast. So when the graphic appears on the screen... and you have the live shot of the 2 women... what else is Musburger supposed to say? Honestly... to me... it was funny, flattering, and complimentary. If he got heat for it.... it's total BS.

Since wagering is legal now in most states... and you had a younger Musburger.... who wouldn't want him for your #1 commentator/play-by-play guy? It's such a shame what ABC/ESPN did to him... taking him off Saturday night football. Musburger was pure entertainment.

yes I met him at Hilton Superbook years ago....nothing to talk about

Did he have a better personality than Joe Buck? If he did... it's a win win.
