That being said, for the first time in my life I was yelling at ol' Dick for the last minute of that game. With :24 seconds left, he's yelling that the Broncos just won. I kinda feel bad for him, but I still want him to call football as long as he can.

He's up in his 70's now and as much as he wants to keep up with the games, he just can't.
