I’ve watched Tom Jackson since I was a small child.
29 years is a long time to be with one company, so salute to him and I hope he enjoys his retirement.
Here is what he had to say via ESPN.
“I have been blessed in my adult life to work for two companies, the Denver Broncos and ESPN, to do two things that I love – play football and talk about football,” said Jackson.
He added: “Having joined in the early stages of ESPN and remained with the same company for 29 years is especially gratifying. The friendships made are too numerous to mention but I know that many of them will last a lifetime. I also want to thank all the fans who supported me over the years and made my job so enjoyable. This move just comes at a time when the priority of my life is spending time with my family.”
Jackson’s last assignment will be the Hall of Fame game this weekend.
