Congratulations to Bill Hillgrove, who is retiring from Steelers broadcasts after 30 years in the booth. A class act and pro’s pro. Wishing him the best as he steps away from his Steelers gig.

Bill Hillgrove was blessed with great pipes, for sure. But how he used his voice as a tool to convey passion, tension & gravitas of various moments during an NFL game--especially in the set up of a play, then at it's apex--that's what made him a unique PxP craftsman
