In 1975, the Steelers were on the verge of greatness. They had just beaten the Vikings to win their first Super Bowl Championship and Terry Bradshaw adorned the cover of Sports Illustrated after leading Pittsburgh to the big win in Super Bowl IX. For legendary broadcaster Curt Gowdy, it was one of 9 Super Bowls he called to go along with 13 World Series and 8 Olympic Games. Nine years later, in 1984, a young Dan Roche walked into a radio station owned by Gowdy in Lawrence, MA looking to break into the sports media business. There was no opening for the Syracuse student but Rochie hung around and did whatever was asked. Unbeknownst to him, that decision changed the course of his life. Now, 40 years later, the WBZ-TV anchor and reporter has covered 9 Super Bowls of his own during the Brady-Belichick dynasty... he covered the Red Sox 4 World Series Championships as well including the one in 2004 that ended the Curse... and he's done it all in his hometown of Boston. And it all started at WCGY where Dan met his future wife, and started a career in sports that has seen him cover the teams he grew up idolizing, including the Red Sox whose play-by-play announcer was.... Curt Gowdy. In the late 80's Danny worked for the ole Cowboy who gave Rochie some advice he never would forget... hear how Gowdy changed Roche's life and followed Dan from afar as his career began to take off. How Dan uncovered a lost tape that revealed how Ted Williams announced his retirement... before Gowdy called the Splendid Splinter's final amazing at bat. It's a look back at one of the greatest sportscasters in American history through the lens of a student, an employee, a colleague... and a dear friend. Dan Roche on the one-of-a-kind Curt Gowdy on the Past Our Prime podcast. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
