Gold, but when Kolo Muani is one on one with Emi Martinez, did you want to yell no? How did you, how did you handle that? How did you restrain yourself? That is such a, that is such a good observation because I, I'm gonna share something with you that I haven't shared too many times. I did not want to watch, uh, the replay of the World Cup that I called. I, I think I watched it in the first year anniversary because I did not remember. I was so, like, into my emotions that I didn't remember how the rest of the 123rd minutes went from, you know, my, my style and such a big occasion, such a big game. I was thoroughly relieved. Uh, when I listened to every single word that I said during the 123 minutes and the penalty kicks, that was a very well-balanced, uh, broadcast. Um, and then I didn't remember what the heck I said when Kolo Muani was one on one, and I thought I had missed the call, and no, I did not. I said these are my exact words, Lovagane Francia. All I remember when I saw. Otamendi missed the, the clearance on his bicycle kick. I was, I, I mean, I was dying inside. I was ready to cry for the wrong reason. And I said on the broadcast Lovagane Francia, which means France is going to win him and I, but your brain was saying I cannot. I don't know, but I don't even know if I saw the save. I did because obviously I referenced it, but I was like, man, that final, that moment, that, that everything was like something else. Close

The Godfather Of Rangers Broadcasters
Broadcaster Marty Glickman handled so many sports expertly in the 1940's and going forward that it's hard to remember his hockey work is in there too. At one time Marty was the undisputed king of New York sportscasters, doing everything from Knicks basketball to Giants football and high school stuff as well. Glickman worked out of radio station WHN-1050 on the dial which was the go-to station for the Rangers, Marty's childhood favorite. He was Marv Albert's mentor, among many others, and also was called upon by cable guru Chuck Dolan to work with hockey production teams as well as individual game directors and producers. "Marty was a genius at what he did," says The Old Scout, "because he tried practically every sport there is and did them all well." Reliving An Oldtime Rangers Radio Broadcast Because of advances in technology and technique, Rangers fans have been able to enjoy games on MSG Networks' telecasts as if you're virtually at the games. In New Jersey, he worked with SportsChannel's producer Jackie Lyons and was available for MSG Networks' Sam Rosen and John Davidson on the Rangers' shows. "Martty's broadcasts were what made him famous," says The Old Scout, "but his behind the scenes work he did in terms of game production and helping the talent was equally valuable."
