On November 25th 1979 CBS Sports teamed up then announcing duo of Pat Summerall & John Madden for the first time. Madden, the Rookie Color Man was replacing Summerall’s normal pal Tom Brookshier in the booth that balmy day in Tampa Bay where the Minnesota Vikings would squeak out a 23-22 victory over the Buccaneers behind QB Tommy Kramer’s 3 touchdown passes. Pat & John would go on to cover games together for the next twenty-two years including three Super Bowls.
Happy Birthday Coach Madden
