Just days after signing off for the final time in his career, legendary broadcaster Brent Musburger is already hard at work at his next venture: Vegas Stats and Information Network (VSiN, a 24-hour gambling network).
Seriously, this is Brent’s version of a retirement vacation — he arrived at the South Point Hotel & Casino on Friday for the big ribbon cutting ceremony:

According to ESPN, Brent will be “the lead voice” at VSiN, which is set to launch on Feb. 27.
More details from the report:
The network will kick off in full on Feb. 27, but Musburger will lead a special Super Bowl broadcast leading up to Sunday’s game between the favored New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons. The Super Bowl preview show will air from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. ET Sunday on SiriusXM Rush (channel 93).
Once fully launched, VSiN will feature live streaming video and a website, in addition to the radio broadcast.
Looks like Brent will be seeing a lot of Pete Rose:
