    For the past 28 years, Jim Nantz has essentially been the face of CBS Sports. He’s always been a consummate professional and I’m happy that he’s spending more time with his family so he could focus on Golf and the NFL at his age
  • “GIVES IT TO JENKINS, FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP! YESSSSSSSSSSSS!” That call will always give me shivers. An all timer. He’s one of the greatest, glad we will still have Jim Nantz on the NFL and Golf.

    “Can I tell ya one other thing? Not to try and play off ‘hello friends’- but to you, to everyone in the college game- the CBS family, my family, all the viewers- thank you for being my friend.” 🐐
  • @BOJones323
    It won’t be same without “Hello Friends”
  • His voice won’t go away, he’s still with us even when he retires. 🐐
  • @chachdanko
    “Folks you gotta believe because just when people say you can’t, you can. And UConn has won the national championship” Boy was SPITTIN’ 🔥🔥
  • as a tar heel fan the 2016 was with out a doubt the best and most heartbreaking 7 seconds of basketball ive ever watched
  • @wahoowa703
    "Jerome gives it up. Far side, Hunter..." chills every time
  • @Luke-pd7xj
    I’ll always remember his voice for March Madness. An absolute legend, hopefully this last tournament is memorable one!
  • @abfromhsv9580
    Literally has been the voice of march madness since I was a kid. Will definitely miss hearing him in March of every year.
  • @coltrain2024
    I will never forget “Oh, it almost went in!”
  • @Yankeeapple13
    As a UConn alum, the 1999 call will always give me chills.
  • @k-dizzy889
    “The Huskies once again are in basketball heaven!” “Gives it Jenkins. for the championship!” These moments live in my head rent free!
  • @ShivNC
    Nantz spoke to my sports broadcasting class at UNC last year, before March madness. It was so surreal to talk to him (although it was virtual) and then hear him call one of our biggest games in history a month after that
  • Only if Suggs game winner had fans. Hands down would have been CBBs greatest moment
  • Thank you, Jim. You’ve been a classy broadcaster and a fine person.
  • & This just learned the loss of last night's passing of Billy Packer, R.I.P. to the legendary College Basketball broadcaster.
  • @SerFondue
    As a Connecticut fan since 95. Thank you Jim, you’ve been a staple every March for my whole adulthood.
  • For the UMBC win, he could've said, "16 is SWEET in Round ONE!"
