Play by Play:: Calling the Wildest Games in Sports—From SEC Football to College Basketball, The Masters, and More Kindle Edition

Thanks to the author for sharing his career and life in broadcasting.I loved listening to him and Brad Sham covering Dallas Cowboys games.Great voice and great attitude. He really did let the games tell the story themselves.

A breezy life story from a man who clearly loved his job. Very kind words for those he worked with, with little if any criticism of media colleagues. A bit too much description of game activity in parts, but a nice retrospective of games/events . Writes like you are talking to a quiet gentleman and neighbor.

A well written book by a consummate broadcaster. I found my self reading a chapter at a time as I often reflected on the events Verne was describing. I often found myself going, "He did call that!" Unlike his broadcasts where he lets the action speak for itself, Verne goes into great detail on the production side of the broadcast with numerous shout outs to the unseen people in the truck and those behind the scenes. His story about how he came into broadcasting figure skating is worth the time.Little or no ego, no sordid details, just a few good evenings with Uncle Verne. Not too shabby for that guy from "Bowling for Dollars."

We met Verne on a recent cruise ship. A great long term career in sports, he knows just about everybody. He told us about writing this beek. Will be reading it soon. A wonderful person to have conversations!

A must read for any sports fan or anyone interested in a behind the scenes look at sports broadcasting. "Uncle Verne relates his viewpoint of some of the most memorable sporting events of the past 50 years with the same comfortable style that made him a fixture on countless Saturday and Sunday afternoons. This book is a great reminder of the power of sports and the that bind us through shared experiences and memories. This message is delivered beautifully in the final as Verne recalls his experiences with the annual Army-Navy game. Sports are an important part of our lives, but Verne continually reminds us that the real story is often the human element behind the final outcome. Thank you Verne for sharing and for being such a generous guest in our homes during your career.

This book will be enjoyed by a sports fan who has watched CBS Sports in recent years and knows who Vern Lundquist is. He teams with Gary Danielson on CBS' coverage of SEC football in the fall. The book drags in spots, and I wish there had been more coverage of his years doing SEC football.

I’ve had a ton of respect for Verne Lundquist over the years. As a fellow broadcaster myself, I can relate to several of his stories.

Having grown up in Dallas originally listening to Verne on Cowboys radio broadcasts and as WFAA Channel 8 sports director I found this behind the scenes look very entertaining. Whether you are a fan of golf, pro or NCAA football, basketball, Olympic figure skating or all of the above, you will enjoy this read about an amazing career that has spanned decades. Thanks for sharing, Verne.
