Tom Brookshier, RIP

From Sports Illustrated. For me, Brookshier and Pat Summerall calling a 4 p.m., Sunday afternoon Rams-Cowboys game will always be the zenith of professional football. They were a terrific pairing and it's hard to believe that Summerall worked so many years without his ex-Eagle partner. Once when a Rams lineman got hurt, Brookshier went on for 20 seconds about what the Rams backup guard Bill Bain could and could not do. Whatever happened to this kind of knowledgeable announcing? Brookshier was a good one.
