Broadcaster Verne Lundquist Profiled On "CBS Sunday Morning"

CBS’ Verne Lundquist was the subject of a “CBS Sunday Morning” profile, with CBS' Jim Axelrod visiting the famed broadcaster at his home in Steamboat Springs, Colo. Some of Lundquist's best lines from the interview are below:

  • On calling some of sports’ greatest moments: “The challenge is to be appropriate to the moment. To not embellish the moment, to not overwhelm it.”
  • On being honored at different SEC stadiums during his final season calling SEC football: “I had to swallow hard and pinch my inner thigh to keep from crying.”
  • On serving as emcee at the Strings Music Festival in Steamboat Springs: “I'm used to talking about Alabama and Auburn and we've got 20 million people watching. It doesn't faze me, but when I walk out this door, it's a hard swallow and you think, ‘Dear Lord, get me through this’” (“CBS Sunday Morning,” 3/26).
