Cool story, bro: First paper I worked at as a sportswriter, they had a phone-in line to get sports scores (this was pre-Internet days, kids). One of us scribes had to periodically update it during our shifts, meaning we had to go to a table with a phone and tape recorder on it and read off the scores into the receiver.

Well, one night I was bored so I decided to record the scores in Keith Jackson's voice, with all his catchphrases and stuff like "Auburn got flattened like a possum on a cold, dark Georgia highway." Cracked everyone up. Had folks from other departments walking over saying, What the hell was that?

He was a hell of an investigative reporter too. My favorite is when he exposed the Super Bowl 4 Chiefs for using performance-enhancing drugs. The Chiefs had access to a performance-enhancing drug called Gatorade that the other team did not and it was not sanctioned by the NFL.

Bring him in for a look?

There's a growing talent gap at this job.

Where is the next Al Michaels, Dick Enberg or Keith Jackson? Even Mike Patrick is a ****ing legend compared to what's being trotted out there now. I used to love his SNF broadcasts.

I don't hear anyone like that on TV these days under the age of 40. Or hell, 50.

I mean did anyone hear the dipshit on MNF's voice cracking? Terrible.

Tough times for old broadcasters lately. :shake:

Amplify, clarify and don't intrude.

RIP, you were a great one.

RIP

He's got it! Touchdown USC

He was a great Coug.

RIP Mr. Jackson.

Rip to one of the all- time greats.

ROFL

This,

And this. Made a game better than it was.

Too bad he couldn't live to be 213 years old so he could see the Chiefs finally win a playoff game.

That was fantastic.
