Very shocked that Pat Summerall passed away. He was the NFL along with John Madden. He was so generational. What I mean is that your kids listened to him, your dads listened to him, your grandparents listened to him.
That "old guard" is passing away. Jack Buck, Jack Whitaker, Curt Gowdy, Ray Scott and now Summerall. Summerall made the games sound like events. Pat and John became stars and that helped with the emergence of cable tv in the 1980s.
Summerall should have no regrets. And you know as a tv viewer, listening to Summerall, I dont either.
