Ian Baker-Finch confirms retirement from golf broadcasting
The voice of Australian golfing great Ian Baker-Finch will no longer be heard on TV after the British Open winner confirmed he was retiring from broadcasting. Baker-Finch, 64, has become one of the most revered golfing voices over the past two decades following a highly successful playing career that included hoisting the claret jug in 1991. Last week's Open Championship was his last time in the booth for broadcaster CBS having joined the network in 2007 after crossing from ESPN. 'After 19 incredible years as a golf analyst with CBS Sports and a remarkable 30-year journey in the industry, I am announcing my retirement from broadcasting,' Baker-Finch said in a statement. 'Golf has been an enormous part of my life. 'I was fortunate to compete against the best players in the game and more recently work with the very best in television. 'To my CBS Sports family – my teammates, producers, directors, and crew – thank you for your extraordinary talent, dedication, and camaraderie. You've made every moment in the booth a joy, transforming broadcasts into cherished memories. 'To my colleagues across the industry and golf fans around the world, your support and shared love for this game over these decades have meant everything. 'As I step away, I carry with me immense gratitude and pride for the moments we've shared on and off the course. 'Here's to new adventures and the enduring love of golf.'

The Buffalo Bills have created many positive memories for fans over recent years. But if we're setting the benchmark all the way back to the year 2000? We have a mixed bag and that was brought up recently by CBS Sports. Advertisement CBS Sports ranked the top-25 moments in NFL history over the last 25 seasons dating back to 2000. Unfortunately, the "Music City Miracle" just makes it into that time frame as it occurred in 2000. For what it's worth, current Bills safety Damar Hamlin's return to football earned an honorable mention mention... but we'll save you the stress of explaining that Wild Card matchup against the Tennessee Titans back in 2000. The breakdown the Bills and Titans, which slotted in at No. 8 overall on the ranking, can be found below: The Bills are no strangers to big-game heartbreak, as we mentioned earlier. Their 1999 season was spoiled in January 2000, when the Tennessee Titans used a long lateral pass from Frank Wycheck to Kevin Dyson on the game's final kickoff to pull off a stunning 75-yard walk-off return touchdown. The only thing that mars the miracle in hindsight is the fact the Titans had another stunner coming.
