🔮 The news that Tony Romo would not be returning to CBS was a stunning turn in contemporary sports media.
🔮 Louis XIV turned a modest hunting lodge into Versailles, a stage on which the Sun King could display the order of his realm.
🔮 If American sports media were to have a Mount Rushmore — if we were to select four figures whose voices and presences became inseparable from the games they covered — I don’t think there’d be much doubt that for the NFL, we’d choose John Madden; for the MLB, it would be Vin Scully; and for the NBA, it would be Marv Albert.
