Don Criqui
Don Criqui (born October 1, 1940) is an American sportscaster.
He holds the record for longest-tenured NFL broadcaster in U.S. TV history, calling NFL football for 47 seasons (1967–2013) on NBC and CBS. Criqui's final NFL broadcast came on December 8, 2013, when he filled in for Bill Macatee as he was having traveling issues in an ice storm in Dallas, calling the 27-26 New England Patriots victory over the Cleveland Browns.
Criqui also had a long career calling college football. Criqui called 11 Orange Bowl games while with NBC, including games that decided the college football national championship for 1981, 1983, 1984, 1985 and 1987. From 2006 until 2017, Criqui served as the football radio play-by-play voice for Notre Dame, his alma mater.
Criqui's most recent network assignment was CBS Sports from 1998 until 2013, where he called the NFL, women's and men's college basketball and college football. From 1995 to 2012, he was the voice of New England Patriots pre-season football with Randy Cross.
Criqui is a native of Buffalo, New York and grew up in the suburb of Kenmore.
He graduated from St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute in Kenmore, before attending the University of Notre Dame. He served in the U.S. Air Force Reserve.
Criqui began with CBS in 1967 before moving to NBC Sports in 1979; he was 'traded' by CBS to NBC for Curt Gowdy. When CBS reacquired the NFL in 1998, Criqui rejoined the network, and continued to serve as a play-by-play announcer as part of the NFL on CBS until his retirement from that position after the 2012 season. In 2013 he returned for the Cleveland Browns vs. New England Patriots matchup on CBS with his former partner Steve Tasker, as Bill Macatee could not make it due to his flight being cancelled by a snowstorm.
He has also announced a number of other sports for CBS, NBC and ESPN including college football, college basketball, the ABA, the NBA, the NHL, professional golf and tennis tournaments, Triple Crown horse racing, the Canadian Football League (Archived October 27, 2009, at the Wayback Machine) and several Summer Olympics events.
