George Allen "Pat" Summerall

Athlete and broadcaster -- via the New York Times. Kicked an amazing 49-yeard field goal in a driving snowstorm on Dec. 14, 1958 for the Giants against the Browns. Two weeks later, he took part in "The Greatest Game Ever Played" against Baltimore, a sudden-death overtime that radically ramped up football's visibility as a spectator sport.

As a broadcaster, covered primarily football; worked with Tom Brookshier and John Madden. He was the familiar voice of Ace Hardware as well. A recovered alcoholic, which is nice for him and his family.
