Brent Musburger Joins NBC Booth, Honored at Hall of Fame Game

Brent Musburger, an iconic football broadcaster known for his work on CBS's The NFL Today, ABC and ESPN college football, and as the longtime voice of major sports events, will join NBC's broadcast of the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame Game between the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers. At 86, Musburger will conduct a pregame interview about receiving the prestigious Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award before joining the broadcast booth alongside Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth for the game's second half. This appearance marks a notable return to national broadcasting for Musburger, who retired from full-time announcing in 2017 but continued with roles such as calling Las Vegas Raiders radio games until recently. Musburger's distinctive voice and famous phrase, "You are looking live," have been a hallmark of football broadcasts since the 1970s, making his participation a special event for fans. Additionally, Musburger is credited with coining the term "March Madness" and has had a broad sports broadcasting career covering the NFL, college football, MLB, NBA, and more. His return to the booth underscores his lasting impact on sports media and honors his decades-long career as one of football's most enduring voices.
