CBS announcer Jim Nantz is asking for prayers for his network family on Sunday.
The CBS No. 1 NFL announcing team of Jim Nantz, Tony Romo and Tracy Wolfson are on the call of the Broncos vs. Chiefs game. Denver is leading Kansas City, 31-0, late in the second half. During the third quarter of the broadcast, CBS opted to move away from the Chiefs vs. Broncos game, sparking serious reaction on social media.
But before that happened, Jim Nantz announced a tough death at the network. Longtime cameraman Steve Orloff has passed away. The longtime CBS cameraman, born in 1953, died following a battle with cancer.
"RIP Steve Orloff," one fan wrote.
"Rip Steve Orloff🕊️🙏🏽❤️💯‼️," one fan added.
The longtime CBS Sports cameraman captured some of the most iconic moments in sports history.
His death marks the end of an era for many in the sports broadcasting industry, where his work behind the camera captured some of the most iconic moments in American sports television. Orloff's career spanned several decades, and his contribution to the world of sports media and his community left an indelible mark.
Born in 1953, Steve grew up in the small but vibrant city of Springfield, Massachusetts. He was a product of the local educational system, graduating from Peabody High School, where his natural aptitude for both technical and creative tasks began to take shape.
Our thoughts are with his friends and family members during this tough time.
May he rest in peace.
