Scully teamed up with Madden to call NFL games for a short time in 1981
Unable to agree, Mr. O’Neil and Mr. Sauter compromised. They agreed that Mr. Madden would work with Mr. Scully for the first four games of the 1981 season, while Mr. Summerall worked with Hank Stram. They then would swap partners for the next four.
On the Monday after the eighth week, Mr. O’Neil, Mr. Sauter and three other executives convened in the CBS dining room to pick a winner.The lone dissenter was Mr. Sauter, who had the authority to make the ultimate decision. Unable to dissuade the others, Mr. Sauter banged his fist on the table and shouted, “OK, you guys want Summerall, you can have him.”
Scully, 94, would leave CBS Sports for NBC Sports in 1983, serving as the network's lead play-by-play broadcaster through 1989. He most notably served as the play-by-play voice of the Dodgers, in Brooklyn and Los Angeles, from 1950 until his retirement in 2016. Scully was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame as winner of the Ford Frick Award for excellence in broadcasting in 1982. Madden was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2006.
