CBS Cuts Off Veteran Football Announcer's Final Goodbye Mid-Sentence After 36 Years on the Mic
"We are gonna have a great time tonight, said Danielson as members of the crew waved goodbye and applauded him. Listen, one more thing, it's sometimes you can say, how do you get up? This guy right here But at that moment, the CBS broadcast seemingly up against a hard break cut off his remarks mid-sentence and went right to a commercial."
"CBS cut away from Gary Danielson's final goodbye unreal, reacted Barstool Sports' college football podcast Unnecessary Roughness. Other football fans accused CBS of being disrespectful towards its veteran commentator. Shame on @CBS for cutting off the end of Gary Danielson talking. I know he was about done but let him finish. On brand for CBS Sports as they continue their downward spiral."
Gary Danielson's final on-air sign-off at CBS was interrupted when the broadcast cut to a commercial mid-sentence while crew members waved and applauded. Danielson attempted an additional remark that was cut off as the network transitioned to a hard break. Social media users and media outlets criticized CBS for the abrupt switch and called the move disrespectful. CBS Sports' own social-post tribute also omitted the final moments of Danielson's goodbye. Danielson retired after nearly 20 years at CBS and more than three decades on television, having previously worked at ABC and ESPN and announcing his retirement in March.
