I'm getting old....Tom Brookshier died.

[Bluehorseshoe]

He was a good announcer in the 70's, especially when he was hooked up with Pat Summerall.

[Brock Landers]

didn't know he was still alive

[podunk]

i loved pat summerall

[THEGREAT30]

I have heard of him R.I.P.

[Bluehorseshoe]

He and Summerall were loaded for most of the 70's. That's why Pat needed a new liver.

Never heard of the guy but still R.I.P.

It's weird that Pat wouldn't have gone first because he was a more severe drunk than Tom.Pat used to wake up during the night and go around drinking anything in sight on game days at the hotel like watered down girlie drinks with cherries,umbrellas,cigarette butts and lipstick stains on the glasses. etc.He just needed to catch a buzz.I give him credit though because he never sugar coated it by using that,I have a disease or the devil made me do it BS.

The screwed up thing with Summerall was, he had residency in Texas and residency in Florida and he was on the liver donor list in both states. (which isn't allowed.) I think HBO Real Sports had a piece on it.

Brookshier also was a very good player. He had a nice career as a db.
