    Him teamed up with John Madden was probably my favorite football broadcast team ever. Summerall in his condition at this very minute could call a game better than Joe Buck.

    An interesting paragraph I just found on the Internet
    He was an amazingly versatile athlete. As a high school football player, he set a state record for the most pass receptions in a season, and then won a scholarship to the University of Arkansas — in basketball, not football, though he ended up playing both sports. He also fought in the Golden Gloves as an amateur heavyweight, and won a Florida state junior tennis championship — beating a player, Herbie Flam, who later made it to the finals at Forest Hills. If that wasn’t enough, he also played minor league baseball for a time in the St. Louis Cardinals organization.
    STAY HEALTHY!
