RIP Curt Gowdy

Curt Gowdy died today at the ripe old age of 86. He broadcast everything from Red Sox games to The American Sportsman, but I remember him most as a football broadcaster partnered with Al DeRogatis during the late 1960s and early 1970s. During the 1960s, Gowdy was the voice of the AFL, and during the 197os, he called some of the most memorable football games I ever saw. Of course, Gowdy was first and foremost a baseball announcer, but I always thought pro football was where he did his best work.
