Brent Musburger Finds Second Wind As Raiders Radio Voice

Brent Musburger is in his third year as the Raiders' radio play-by-play voice, and the 81-year-old is "among those invigorated by the team’s 3-2 start," according to Sam Gordon of the LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL. Musburger signed a three-year contract in the summer of '18, but said that he "hopes to keep calling the franchise’s games 'until they tell me to stop.'" He moved to Las Vegas in '17 upon his retirement from ESPN to "help launch" sports betting network VSiN. Musburger was "satisfied curating content for VSiN." He "didn’t think" Raiders Owner Mark Davis was "serious about hiring him to call Raiders games." Musburger: "I wasn’t looking for another job at the time." But now, he says, “I’m glad that they found me, because I’ve had a marvelous adventure with Jon Gruden and the Raiders over the last two plus seasons now into the third year. It’s been great.” Musburger added, "People are going to love (Allegiant Stadium) when they come in from out of town to cheer on their team. Or a Raider fan in Las Vegas or a Raider fan driving in from Los Angeles or Oakland. That keeps me engaged, even in my senior age" (LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 10/18).
