Is this his last game on CBS? Though senile the past few years, have always thought he had a great voice for calling games. Esp the masters.

Maybe thats why they did the tribute to him. To soften the blow before they let him go.

This read is terrible. "Generally beloved"? The guy is a caricature parading as an announcer and he's terrible.

If Verne leaves, we will lose a truly great clown.

Thought it was a done deal that Rece was taking over for him next year.

Vern was the man in the 80's and 90's while calling NFL games. He's just gotten old. In his prime he was one of the best.

So who replaces him if he retires? Does CBS promote some no-name from within or do they poach someone from ESPN like Rece Davis or Brad Nessler?

Rece Davis and Daniels would make a solid duo IMO

I think Verne was seriously injured when that TV tower fell on the final day of the Tour Championship a few years ago. I don't think he's been the same since.

Not too many like Verne left. He is one of the best and will be missed.

Anyone who gripes about Verne is un- American.
