In the powerful conclusion of our four-part conversation with legendary CBS Sports producer Lance Barrow, we uncover some of the most personal and unforgettable stories of his extraordinary career. From the NFL Today set to the sacred grounds of Augusta National, Lance shares candid reflections on the iconic broadcasters, athletes, and entertainers he worked with and admired—including Dick Enberg, John Madden, Jack Whitaker, Arnold Palmer, and even Dean Martin.

With his trademark humility and warmth, Lance recalls moments with Hubert Humphrey and Ted Kennedy, emotional lessons from his mentors, and hilarious encounters with household names. In one of the episode’s most touching memories, he recounts Arnold Palmer ordering an “Arnold Palmer” at Augusta—an unforgettable experience that captures the essence of what made Arnie so beloved.

Lance opens up about knowing when it was time to step away from the spotlight and the values that guided him throughout a 50-year career at CBS. He speaks openly about leadership, mentorship, and why preserving the legacy of greats like Summerall, Madden, and Devlin is a mission he’s proud to embrace.

As Bruce Devlin and Mike Gonzalez pose the final three questions of the podcast, we hear Lance reflect on lessons learned, potential do-overs, and—most meaningfully—how he hopes to be remembered.

This episode is a tribute to one of sports broadcasting’s finest—a storyteller, mentor, and man who always put people first. Join us for a heartfelt sendoff to a remarkable career and an unforgettable interview series with Lance Barrow, FORE the Good of the Game.
