PEBBLE BEACH — Jim Nantz is big on dates, and Tuesday marked the 40th anniversary of his first trip to Pebble Beach Golf Links for CBS Sports. It’s a sure bet that he will have a much larger role this weekend than he did for his first assignment.

Jim Nantz has been married to his wife, Courtney Richards, since 2012. The sportscaster is best known for anchoring CBS’s coverage of the Masters Tournament since 1989 and being the lead play-by-play announcer on NFL coverage for the broadcaster, but in his personal life, he’s a devoted husband to Richards.

Interestingly enough, Kevin Harlan and Devin McCourty, calling the game for Westwood One Radio, also said there was a flag on the play, with McCourty speculating that it was for Bills offensive lineman Dion Dawkins taking his helmet off.

Davis Love III underwent surgery last week and is now recovering at home, with eyes on breaking a PGA Tour record.

Josh Allen is usually efficient while attempting a quarterback sneak or tush push, as the Gen Z slang quantified it. The Buffalo Bills played bold and went for the sneak twice in the same drive.

CBS Sports begins its 68th consecutive year broadcasting the PGA Tour this weekend with the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, which, in itself, is an “Eye”-popping figure, to borrow some network terminology. For nearly two-thirds of that run, Jim Nantz has been a mainstay in the network’s golf coverage.

For a few seconds Sunday night, Jim Nantz — and the CBS scorebug — gave the Bills some hope during the fourth quarter of their AFC championship clash against the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. Josh Allen’s final heave that went through the hands of a diving Dalton Kincaid had fallen incomplete.

Broadcaster Jim Nantz lucked into calling Tom Brady versus Peyton Manning and Patrick Mahomes versus Josh Allen duels.

Nantz is aware not only of the Chiefs’ quest to become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls, but their attempt to join the New York Giants as the only teams to appear in a title game five times in a six-season span.

One day, a few years ago, Manning invited his pro to play Augusta National, shortly after the Masters had been contested. Pancake was overjoyed and told his wife the good news. There was only one problem: that was men’s opening day at Crooked Stick, a pretty important occasion for the director of golf to be on hand. Pancake was flattened.

Chris Russo was ticked off watching the end of CBS’ broadcast of the AFC Championship game between the Chiefs and Bills on Sunday.
