Sports broadcaster Brent Musburger has announced that he will retire at the end of January, at the age of 77. The famed ESPN announcer, who uses the catchphrase "you are looking live" at the top of games, has been in the field since 1975. His final game will be on Jan. 31 at the Rupp Arena, as the Kentucky Wildcats host Georgia. Musburger plans to start a sports handicapping business and move to Las Vegas. "What a wonderful journey I have traveled with CBS and the Disney company," he said in a statement. "A love of sports allows me to live a life of endless pleasure. And make no mistake, I will miss the arenas and stadiums dearly. Most of all, I will miss the folks I have met along the trail."
