- Finally! The late-great John Facenda, the "Voice of God," will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this summer for his two decades of narration work for NFL Films. We talked about Facenda, the former Channel 10 anchor, on Philly Pressbox Radio. (Jim "Chet" Chesko and Bill Furman have co-hosted that weekly podcast since 2014. Subscribe, please!)
John Facenda has the best voice ever. He was the "Voice Of God" & the voice of NFL Films. There never was or ever will be a voice like John Facenda ever again. I used to love to watch all the NFL Films he narrated. RIP!!!
A CRIME that it's THIS overdue>>J.F. should've been inducted in '84 or '85, certainly within a year of his passing; he was a HUGE part of our NFL lives, each & every fall, leading up to the Super Bowl~for those of us that grew up in the 1960s & '70s!
He was the greatest ❤ that voice you knew it was football time. He could say Lombardi that's legendary itself and Notre Dame wake up the echoes.
There won't be another john facenda
How did that take so long is way beyond my thinking. Guy was still is incredible voice of telling us about pro football that simply ever will b. Really glad he got in the HOF, really happy for his family. Never b no else close to his voice
His successor, Harry Kalas, should also be so honored.
Long over due
Mr. Facenda was a very very generous and gracious man. He was very religious and once when he was talking to his parish priest he noted that he didn't have a watch. Mr. Facenda immediately took off his watch and gave it to the priest
About time.
Thanks DP for awakening Canton.
Finally
He was awesome
I knew it, but the video played before I could say it. Kipling's "If" is next?
Ok! That's one any fan of The Voice probably already knows. If you don't, it's a treat.
Super Bowl 18 was His Last One.
CLICKBAIT! I thought he was gonna be a for real Hall of Famer...you know getting an actual bust?
Grazie Giovanni, grazie di tutto grande ITALO americano
