Happy Birthday, Pat Summerall

by user Thefoulpole

Pat, you were the voice of NFL football for 42 years, and not only is that an accomplishment in itself, you had to put up with John Madden as well. We commend you for taking the plane when Madden took a bus. We commend you for being the voice of those Madden games, and letting John look like the moron when he says "the team that scores the most points usually wins."

But that alcoholism caught up to you, and in 2004 you needed a liver transplant. Hope that is going well.

Pat, thanks for being the man, and thanks for putting up with Madden, because with no matter what Madden says, you'll always be the smart one.
