Legendary CBS sports broadcaster Greg Gumble has died, following a battle with cancer. He was 78 years old.

Gumble's family issued a statement today announcing his passing:

More from The New York Post:

Gumbel, who missed last year’s NCAA Tournament due to what The Athletic reported as “family health issues,” spent decades at CBS across two stints, returning to the network in 1998 to pair with Phil Simms and form the No. 1 broadcast team until 2003.

Then, after hosting “The NFL Today” for two seasons, Gumbel returned to calling NFL games for CBS in 2006, a role he continued to hold through the end of the 2022 season.

Gumble's broadcasting career spanned five decades.
