Subject: Pat Summerall, legendary NFL announcer, dies at 82

Written By: warped on 04/16/13 at 8:58 pm

(CNN) -- Pat Summerall, the football player turned legendary play-by-play announcer, died Tuesday. He was 82.

He was best known as a broadcaster for teaming with former NFL coach John Madden for 22 years. Summerall also worked for years alongside former player Tom Brookshier and became the voice of the NFL in the 1970s and 1980s, calling most of the league's signature games.

Summerall called games for CBS, Fox and ESPN and worked more than 10 Super Bowls.

As a player, he was a placekicker and played 10 seasons for the Chicago Cardinals and New York Giants from 1952 to 1961. He scored more than 500 points as an NFL player.

Summerall died Tuesday of cardiac arrest, said Jeff Carlton, a spokesman for the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.

He and Madden were a great combo, same for when he was with Tom Brookshier.

Back in '99, we had Pat Summerall do a promotional film for my manufacturing plant.

Man, he had an awesome voice.  He made our little turd pile sound like Xanadu.  8)
