"The NFL 100 Greatest series will give fans an incredible look back at our game's best moments, and this partnership will allow us to bring these stories to SiriusXM and Pandora listeners."

"Long before I was involved with the NFL as a broadcaster I was an avid fan of the game, and I'm very proud to celebrate its 100^th season by being a part of this series and sharing so many great memories with SiriusXM and Pandora listeners," said Brown, who has covered the NFL for more than 30 years. "NFL 100 Greatest is a wonderful trip back in time, and NFL fans are going to really enjoy it."
