Alaska Darin Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 One of the all time greats is gone. RIP.
OnTheRocks Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 he might very well have been the guy that i first heard on TV calling a football game....and probably one of my all time favorites. is there anything in the obit that mentions Genesee Beer as "cause of death"?
Bills4154 Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 RIP Curt! You were an all time great one and one of my favorites.
The Tomcat Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 too bad... He and Madden were great..... I know....it was a joke
Marv's Neighbor Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 I remember him and Al Derogatas at the Rockpile!
Beerball Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 He was one of the greats, not just football either, he was terrific at baseball as well. RIP Curt.
BillnutinHouston Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Didn't he do "American Sportsman" too? That's one of my oldest memories of watching sports on TV.
Dr. K Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Listening to him and Paul Christman do the AFL games in the 60s were my intro to pro football. RIP
X. Benedict Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Weren't there years he did the Indy 500, Superbowl, World Series, and NBA Finals? He was like Al Michael's on roids.
stinky finger Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Let him RIP......a favorite for sure.
eball Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 Great voice -- one of those you instantly recognize. I grew up listening to him.
Corp000085 Posted February 20, 2006 Posted February 20, 2006 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/more...ex.html?cnn=yes RIP
Ned Flanders Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 The game I most remember him calling was game six of the 1975 World Series...a true classic.
ExiledInIllinois Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Weren't there years he did the Indy 500, Superbowl, World Series, and NBA Finals? He was like Al Michael's on roids. 607343[/snapback] Also: "The American Sportsman" I don't think he ever shot his hunting partner though. Too bad the producers never really grasped the appeal of that.
The Dean Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 In his prime, he was one of the best ever. RIP
ExWNYer Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 In his prime, he was one of the best ever. RIP 607523[/snapback] Amen. RIP
