Pat Summerall

Pat Summerall is a former American football play-by-play announcer for CBS and Fox. He was previously a kicker for the New York Giants.

For many years his broadcast partner was John Madden. The last game that they called together was Super Bowl XXXVI. After that game, Summerall announced his retirement and Madden was signed by ABC for their Monday night broadcasts of the NFL. Summerall was lured out of retirement and re-signed with Fox for the 2002 NFL season on a lower-tier team, working with Brian Baldinger before retiring at the end of the 2002-03 season.

In April 2004, Summerall, a recovering alcoholic who has been sober for many years, underwent a liver transplant. Following the successful surgery, Summerall said that he may want to broadcast a few Cowboys games during the 2004 NFL season.

Summerall just began a new relationship with ESPN, calling NFL games for the network beginning with the 2004 pre-season as a substitute when ESPN's Mike Patrick was recovering from heart surgery.
