List of NFL on CBS commentator pairings

Main article: List of NFL on CBS commentators

CBS Sports began televising National Football League games in 1956. The network inherited the rights to games of most of the teams from the defunct DuMont Television Network; back then, each NFL team negotiated its own television deal. From 1956–1967, CBS assigned their commentating crews to one team each for the entire season. Beginning in 1968, CBS instituted a semi-merit system for their commentating crews. Following the 1993 season, there was no NFL on CBS after the network lost its half of the Sunday afternoon TV package (the National Football Conference) to the Fox Broadcasting Company. However, CBS gained the American Football Conference package from NBC beginning in 1998. The names of the play-by-play men are listed first while the color commentators are listed second.

Buck/Summerall: Washington-Dallas (Thursday), Louisiana Rams-Minnesota (Sunday)

Jack Buck filled in for Lindsey Nelson in Week 3.
Andy Musser filled in for Lindsey Nelson in Week 14, while Nelson filled in for Frank Glieber.

1981^[27]

Pat Summerall or Vin Scully/John Madden
Vin Scully, Gary Bender, Pat Summerall or Tom Brookshier/Hank Stram
Lindsey Nelson/George Allen, or Fred Biletnikoff (this is Nelson's last year calling NFL games for CBS television, as he moved over to co-lead CBS' coverage of college football in 1982; however he continued calling NFL games for CBS Radio for 1982 and 1983)
Tom Brookshier, Frank Glieber or Gary Bender/Roger Staubach
Gary Bender or Tim Ryan/Fred Dryer
Tom Brookshier, Gary Bender, Tim Ryan, Frank Glieber or Dick Stockton/Johnny Morris
Dick Stockton, Frank Glieber or Gary Bender/Jim Hill
Jim Kelly, Tim Ryan, Gary Bender or Frank Glieber/John Dockery

In 1981, CBS in the first half of the season did not have set teams. After Thanksgiving, Gary Bender and Frank Glieber moved over to college basketball, which was CBS' first season of broadcasting that particular sport.
This was Fred Dryer's only season as a broadcaster before he went into acting, most famously as the star of the 1984–91 NBC series Hunter.
Going into the 1981 NFL season, CBS Sports executives decided that John Madden was going to replace Tom Brookshier as their star NFL color commentator. But they had trouble figuring out who was going to be his play-by-play partner. So in September (for the first four games of the season), they paired Vin Scully with Madden while Pat Summerall was busy covering the US Open tennis tournament for CBS. For the next four games of the season in October, they paired Summerall with Madden while Scully called Major League Baseball's National League Championship Series and World Series for the Dodgers Radio Network and CBS Radio respectively. After the eighth week of the NFL season, CBS Sports executives decided that the laconic, baritone-voiced Summerall's style was more in tune with the lively, verbose Madden than the elegant, poetic Scully. As a consolation prize, CBS Sports gave Scully the "B" team assignment and the right to call the NFC Championship Game on CBS Television with Hank Stram. Meanwhile, Pat Summerall called that game on CBS Radio with Jack Buck while John Madden prepared to do the Super Bowl with Summerall in Pontiac, Michigan. Vin Scully reportedly wasn't happy about the demotion, the perception being that his intelligence had been insulted. As a result, Scully bolted to NBC (where he started a seven-year run as their lead Major League Baseball announcer) as soon as his contract with CBS was up.

Tom Brookshier was suspended for the final week of the 1983 season after commenting during a promo for a NCAA basketball game between the Louisville Cardinals and North Carolina State Wolfpack that the Louisville starting five (which happened to be all black) "had a collective IQ of about 40". Brookshier eventually apologized and was reinstated for the 1984 NFL season.

Starting during this season and continuing until CBS lost NFC coverage in 1993, Verne Lundquist would occasionally fill in for Pat Summerall while Summerall was assigned to calling the US Open tournament.
1986 would mark Wayne Walker's final season as part of the CBS broadcast team (Walker would remain as sports director on KPIX in San Francisco until 1994 and would work as a color commentator on San Francisco 49ers radio broadcasts until 1998).

While Dick Stockton and Verne Lundquist replaced Summerall on games with John Madden, Jack Buck (who was at CBS during the time as the network's lead Major League Baseball announcer) was added as a regular NFL broadcaster to fill-in. Jim Henderson called the Minnesota/Tampa Bay game with Dan Fouts.

From 1999 to 2004, the duo of Don Criqui and Steve Tasker were almost always assigned to games featuring the Buffalo Bills. Both Criqui (a Buffalo native) and Tasker (a former Bill) have connections to western New York, and the Criqui-Tasker pairing is one of the last examples of an NFL team having its own network TV announcing crew.
This was Verne Lundquist's last season as a regular broadcaster for the NFL on CBS; as he would reduce his role to fill-in duty while focusing mainly on calling college football and college basketball on CBS.
