Somehow, I don’t think he EVER watched football. Even during the off season, I think he watches tapes of baseball.

He was an announcer for NFL games at one time. He famously called the 49ers-Cowboys NFC Championship game in 1981, featuring Dwight Clark's catch of Joe Montana's TD pass to send the 49ers to their first Super Bowl. I honestly can't remember Vin calling that game - for me, he'll forever be associated with summer nights and Dodgers broadcasts - but that's his voice on some of the replays of that catch.
