Pat Summerall, who went from Giants’ star kicker to a “calm voice on TV,” has died at the age of 82 reports the New York Times this morning. During their 21 years at CBS, Summerall and John Madden were the “most prominent N.F.L. broadcast twosome” says the paper. Fans were drawn to Summerall’s understated play-by-play style. As Madden put it: “When you listen to Pat, it’s comfortable, it’s a big game, you’re bringing a gentleman into your house.”
