“A love of sports allows me to live a life of endless pleasure,” play-by-play announcer says
Brent Musburger, (pictured, right) an iconic play-by-play announcer, will call his final game on January 31.
The sports broadcaster, who started his career with CBS (in 1968) before moving to ESPN (in 1990), announced Wednesday he’s retiring at the age of 77.
According to ESPN, one of the most recognizable voices in televised sports will end his career calling this coming Tuesday’s college basketball game between the Kentucky Wildcats and Georgia Bulldogs, which the Wildcats will host at Rupp Arena at 9 p.m. ET.
Initially a sportswriter, Musburger began talking sports on TV for CBS’s football pregame show “NFL Today,” and called plays for the network’s broadcasts of the NBA, college basketball, golf and tennis. He was dropped by CBS in 1990, and went to work for Disney’s ESPN.
