Summerall was a hero to me, Nantz said Tuesday. treasured the gift of friendship that I had with him. I was his understudy for 10 years. He could not have been more generous or kind to a young broadcaster. recovering alcoholic, Summerall had a liver transplant in April 2004. The lifesaving surgery was necessary even after 12 years of sobriety.
Summerall died Tuesday at age 82 of cardiac arrest, said University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center spokesman Jeff Carlton, speaking on behalf of Summerall wife, Cheri.
锘縜 familiar voice for 4 decades
As former teammate and broadcaster Frank Gifford put it in an accompanying video tribute: is very comfortable with Pat Summerall. played 10 NFL seasons from 1952 to 1961 with the Chicago Cardinals and New York Giants, but it was in his second career that he became a voice familiar to generations of sports fans, not only those of the NFL.
was my broadcasting partner for a long time, but more than that he was my friend for all of these years, Madden said in a statement. Summerall is the voice of football and always will be. final playbyplay words beside Madden were succinct, of course, as he called the gameending field goal of the Super Bowl for Fox on Feb. 3, 2002, when New England beat St. Louis 2017.
When CBS lost its NFL deal after the 1993 season, Summerall switched to Fox to keep calling NFL games with Madden. Summerall had hoped to keep working with CBS for other events like the Masters, but network executives saw it otherwise. At the time, CBS Sports anchor Jim Nantz said he was saddened that Summerall didn get to leave CBS under his own terms.
At the end of their final broadcast together, Madden described Summerall as treasure and the of the National Football League in a tribute to the partner that complemented the boisterous former Oakland Raiders coach so well.
