Uncle Buck Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Just saw the news; Irv passed away. He was absolutely one of my favorites in the football broadcast business. He seemed like an outstanding human being. Rest In Peace Mr. Cross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I remember Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder and how the gambling line and picks were introduced way back.He lost his job in a way that is very frequent today and I believe that he got ambushed. The quotes attributed to him in a casino after he had a couple of cocktails was unprecedented at the time. Most of the reports would keep things off the record back then.

Made it kind of rock and roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAMEDSONPAYTON2 Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 "You are looking live at Solider Field". I always liked it when Brent used to start the show with that or any other stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
