Gib Shanley, who spent nearly a quarter-century as the radio voice of the Cleveland Browns, died Sunday. Here's a look at Shanley during his days as a 1970s sportscaster, in a local news promo that no Ron Burgundy parody could top:
Shanley called the Browns' 1964 NFL Championship Game victory over the Baltimore Colts, and he stayed with the team through the mid-1980s.
But he is best remembered for the night in November of 1979 when he ended a newscast that had reported on the American hostages in Iran by burning an Iranian flag on live TV. He told Iranians that if they were offended by his actions, they should leave the country. The TV station said it received hundreds of calls about the incident, almost all supporting Shanley.
Shanley was 76 years old and had been suffering from an undisclosed illness.
