The main game I remember really Mike Patrick calling back then was the 2002? Bama @ LSU game. Where Kenneth Darby just scampered up and down the field. Remember loving his voice that day.

Mike Patrick: "What is Britney doing with her life?"

Todd Blackledge: "Who?"

Patrick: "Britney"

Blackledge: Britney who?"

Patrick: "SPEARS!!"

I always had the impression that Les wanted Flynn to snap the ball a few seconds earlier but it took the offense longer than anticipated to get organized.

Mike (and Blackledge) calling Flynn to Byrd in 07

CSB: I am on the field about 5 yards away from Dbyrd when he makes that catch. You can see me in the gray shirt stand up when he catches it. Man, that was a fun night.

he had the call on this one too.


What the hell was that video I just watched? Did it really just try to preach about God after the touchdown?

He was one of ESPN’s better play by play guys. I loved him McGuire and Theisman on the SNF games. He and Vitale had all the biggest ACC hoops games for a long time.

My favorite call probably ever in sports:

Mike Patrick - “Oh, John Parker Wilson just got ANNIHILATED.

That’s just evil right there.

And to add insult to injury, Alabama was penalized for holding. Well, they certainly didn’t hold Laron Landry.”



Also that full clip with the holding comment is no longer on YouTube booooooo.

I remember Patrick was on the first game Bruschi played after some heart ailment after some didn’t think he should ever play again. He really captured the moment when Bruschi was his old self again making plays all over the field.
