Listen to Gus Johnson absolutely lose his shit on this crazy ending to the Broncos v Bengals game ... if Gus were announcing a chess match, I'd watch it.

    He's the best. The perfect guy to be announcing a play like that. That was unreal.

    My favorite announcer. I love listening to him do the NCAA tourney especially if the underdog has a chance of pulling off the upset. He just adds so much to the game.

    that was one of the oddest plays I've ever seen and one of the greatest calls I've heard

    He's even good for the occasional exciting ending in Knick games. His performance in the 2005 first round game between Syracuse and Vermont was incredible.

    Gus Johnson parts ways with CBS

    The patron saint of March Madness buzzer-beaters will not be calling the NCAA tournament next year.

    SI.com has learned that CBS Sports recently parted ways with Gus Johnson, a play-by-play mainstay on its college basketball coverage for 16 years, after the two sides could not agree on a new deal. Johnson has also worked as a play-by-play voice for the network's NFL coverage since 1998.

    Johnson's animated style and signature calls at the conclusion of tournament games earned him cult status among younger college basketball fans. During his decade and a half with CBS, Johnson also called college football, track and field, boxing and the 1998 Winter Olympics.

    Johnson's marketing agent, Christian Gesue, declined to comment.

    Johnson is scheduled to work Showtime's pay-per-view coverage of Saturday's Manny Pacquiao-Shane Mosley fight. He has called college basketball for the Big Ten Network for the past two years.

    The announcer was one of the candidates for the NFL Network's play-by-play job on its eight-game Thursday night package. The network announced today that longtime ESPN announcer Brad Nessler has landed the assignment.

    Industry sources said Johnson has spoken with Fox Sports about a role in its college football coverage. Fox Sports (which has a 49 percent ownership share in the Big Ten Network) recently upped its inventory of college football as part of the 12-year, $3 billion contract between the Pac-10 (soon to be the Pac-12) and ESPN and Fox. The two networks will carry a combined 44 regular-season football games on ESPN and Fox broadcast or national cable networks, along with 68 men's basketball games. They will alternate televising the Pac-12 football championship game and the men's basketball tournament.

    CBS sucks. I can't believe they let the best announcer in all of sports walk so that we could have another year of falling asleep while listening to Mr. Masters Jim Nance. In the meantime, I bid you a fond farewell Gus. You will be missed.

    Absolute horrible move by CBS. Hands down the best college basketball announcer their is. Only one who even comes close with him his Raftery. It's not gonna be the same at all watching the tourney. It didn't seem to matter what game he was doing, it was almost always down to the wire. "RISE AND FIRE!!!"
