From SI.com:

Brent Musburger is calling an end to his broadcast career. Millions of Americans experienced sporting events through his folksy narration, most often when he was the lead voice of CBS Sports during the 1980s.

Musburger will call his last game for ESPN on Jan. 31, a college basketball contest pitting Kentucky against Georgia. Musburger, who is 77 years old, plans to move to Las Vegas and help his family start a sports handicapping business.

Anyone else feel like he was nudged out? After a series of not-really-that-controversial statements – specifically referring to A.J. McCarron’s smokeshow girlfriend – Musburger essentially cheerleaded for Joe Mixon and told us all that he was doing great after punching some girl. Glad to hear it, Joe. At the time I thought it might be the final straw for Musburger, a terrific announcer, who strayed a little too far into wacky old man-boys club territory minimizing and then doubling down on domestic whatever sort of violence knocking the shit out of your girlfriend in a fast food joint is. His retirement seems a bit too convenient. Either way, no surprise that he’ll be involved in sports betting– he rountinely hinted at lines on the air. I can only assume that Al Michaels, no stranger to implicit gambling references, will sign on as a partner when he hangs ’em up.

Musburger’s best call is obvious:

Side note: Joe Buck waded into those waters, noting that the over-under in the Packers-Falcons game on Sunday was approaching.
