Ray Scott (born 1920, in Johnstown, Pennsylvania; died March 23, 1998, in Minneapolis, Minnesota), was an American sportscaster, best known for his broadcasts for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League.
Scott began his broadcasting career on local radio in the late 1930s. His first NFL broadcasts came in 1953 over the DuMont Television Network; three years later he began doing Packers broadcasts for CBS, and it was in Green Bay that his terse style of play-by-play developed its greatest following.
Scott was also the lead television and radio announcer for Major League Baseball's Minnesota Twins from to , calling the 1965 World Series on NBC television.
CBS named Scott its lead NFL announcer in 1967; earlier that year he broadcast the infamous Ice Bowl game as well as Super Bowl I, both of which involved the Packers. During his tenure with CBS he called four Super Bowls and nine NFL (later NFC) championship games.
CBS fired Scott in 1974, replacing him with Pat Summerall (who had been paired with Scott as a color commentator). He was subsequently employed by a number of NFL and MLB teams (including the Minnesota Vikings, Milwaukee Brewers, and Pittsburgh Pirates), and was play-by-play announcer for the USFL's Portland Breakers in the 1985 season. Scott also broadcast college football, college basketball, and golf at various points in his career. He also teamed with Patrick Ryan while doing high school and college football in and around Billings, Montana.
Scott was twice named National Sportscaster of the Year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association, and was given regional awards by that organization 12 times in four different states. In 2000, he was posthumously given the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award by the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Scott's bare-bones style has inspired many sportscasters.
Ray Scott is an American country music singer-songwriter. Ray Scott grew up outside of Semora, North Carolina. He started his first band at age nineteen, and later moved to Atlanta, Georgia to attend the Music Business Institute. After receiving an Associate's degree, he moved to Raleigh, North Carolina, where he started another band before moving again, to Nashville, Tennessee. While there, Ray began writing songs, and landed two chart hits as a songwriter: "A Few Questions" by Clay Walker and "Pray For the Fish" by Randy Travis. He eventually signed to Warner Bros. Records as a singer in 2005, releasing the album My Kind of Music. The album's title track was a Top 40 hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in early 2006. His music sounds draws heavily on the 1970s Outlaw movement, specifically Waylon Jennings. He is considered to be a neotraditionalist country artist for this reason.
