Imagine the countless stories Brent Musburger can tell. In an absolutely enthralling two part episode this iconic sportscaster recall several and in part one, the back stories behind the famous Doug Flutie “Hail Mary pass, the historic game six of the 1976 NBA finals and the marathon MLB playoff game between the Mets and Astros.

But Musburger also delves into his relationship with the late Bob Knight. The relationship started out on the wrong foot when Musburger broke the story Isiah Thomas would leave Indiana for the NBA. It induced the volatile coach to an expletive laced tirade against Musburger. The story of course, was true and later the two would work together in ESPN.

There’s more. How about the famous “Hail Mary” game when Doug Flutie heaved a final second touchdown pass that allowed Boston College to beat Miami in 1985. “All I could see is someone from Boston College caught the ball, secured it and it was a touchdown," Musburger says. The play and his call is one of the most iconic in college football history, even nearly 40 years later.

Now 84 and host of a Sunday show on VSiN called “Countdown to Kickoff,” Musburger remains a prominent presence in the media industry. And this is just part one!
