Sunday’s matchup with the Niners might be the 100th Patriots game Jim Nantz has called in his broadcasting career. Or it might not.
An explanation: The website 506sports.com maintains historical lists of announcers and the games they have called.
Intrepid reader Lance Harris used its data to create a fascinating spreadsheet of all the announcers that have called Patriots games on television through the years, postseason included.
(Shockingly, Don Criqui and Beasley Reece did not call 100 Patriots games in the late ’80s and early ’90s. It just seemed that way.)
Based on the wealth of information Harris mined, Nantz will hit the century mark when he and Tony Romo go live from Foxborough on CBS at 4:25 p.
