And we get word Mary Tyler Moore has died. Curtain finally closing on some of CBS' stars of the 1970s.

Brent was one of the best. The "NFL on CBS" was always a must watch before gametime.

Him and the Greek wearing boxing gloves on the pre game show was pretty funny

His time came and went.

The Greek would have taken him any day.

Brent always found a way to work in betting into his calls. Any horse player should love that!

Man, I remember as a kid watching him as the sportscaster on the 10 o'clock news on WBBM (2 Chicago), before he hit the big time.
