Posted Apr 16, 2013
Pat Summerall died Tuesday. He was 82. That’s exactly how Summerall once told a writer he would craft the first sentences of his own obituary; short and to the point. He died in his hospital room at Zale Lipshy Hospital where he was recovering from surgery for a broken hip, a family friend confirmed. Summerall worked a record 16 Super Bowls in a network career that began in 1962 and ended in 2002. In the 21 seasons Summerall worked alongside John Madden they grew into America’s most popular sports broadcast team.
