Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on July 17, 1940)

Happy Birthday, Verne Lundquist! May your celebrations be smoother than Jackie Smith's hands during Super Bowl XIII. While Smith became "the sickest man in America," you became one of its most beloved voices, giving sports fans priceless gems and unforgettable calls.

You've gifted us countless memorable moments—from roaring "Yes sir!" at Nicklaus' miracle putt to leaving us speechless after Auburn’s Iron Bowl heroics. Your voice effortlessly narrates our greatest sporting memories with signature charm and humor. Enjoy your big day—and unlike Jackie—make sure you capture every opportunity thrown your way today!
