“Send it in Big Fella!” “With a Little Kiss off the Glass!” “Onions!” “A Little Lingerie on the Deck!” “SEND IT IN JEROME!” … These are all well-known, iconic, passionate college basketball expressions heard by millions of fans around the world when watching games on CBS for the last 33+ years which have been uttered by the enthusiastic analyst, himself - Mr. Bill Raftery. These creative phrases developed by Bill are what makes him the “O.G.” for college basketball play-by-play commentary. He’s one of a kind – no doubt about it! We were so thrilled to have Bill on this episode of The Brothers Brandt podcast to talk about his 3+ decades of sports broadcasting, his 4 Sports Emmy Awards he has won for Most Outstanding Sports Event Analyst, his movie biography “With A Kiss” that his son Billy produced in 2016, being drafted into the NBA by the New York Knicks in 1963, and what it was like growing up in New Jersey, being the state’s all-time high school leading scorer with 2,192 points (a record that was held for over 35 years) and being named Mr. Basketball in 1959. Bill is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. He’s incredibly talented and a Hall of Fame broadcaster!
