CBS traditionally is more conservative than some of its counterparts, and the explosion in legal sports gambling — and related programming — in recent years is no exception. But that would be a separate production and it would be a separate feed that we would be doing to implement that kind of process.
No one seems to have minded it. The gamblers seem to enjoy it. Jim Nantz insisted he is not complaining. After all, he gets to call the Super Bowl , and be paid handsomely to do so. But he did admit the COVID restrictions that have altered much of his professional life have been difficult to swallow. The only other time Nantz will leave his hotel room after arriving on Thursday night will be for a walkthrough at the stadium on Friday to practice the Lombardi Trophy presentation.
Nantz said his CBS NFL crew has not had a single dinner together this season, a ritual that not only is social but also generates ideas for game-day discussion topics. In essence, there will be no Super Bowl week this year as it traditionally has been known. CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus described his usual rituals, full of meetings and schmoozing, and said this year he will order room service on Saturday night, be in an office on game day instead of in a production truck, then go to back to his hotel Sunday night.
Wolfson expects to be allowed on the sideline itself for the Super Bowl, which should allow her to operate more normally than when she has been relegated to the lower rows of the stands.
Wolfson said the thing she has missed most is the way social distancing protocols have restricted her approach to postgame interviews. Gene Steratore is only three years removed from officiating in the Super Bowl, so he knows the thrill of that job — and the pressure that comes with it. But he said the challenge Sarah Thomas will face as the first woman to officiate in a Super Bowl comes with an even higher degree of difficulty. Steratore will work on site on Sunday, but he spent most of the season monitoring games from a setup in his home.
He credited producer Kimani Morales for making it work smoothly. CBS considered doing a separate production of the Super Bowl for its youth-oriented sister channel, Nickelodeon, similar to the wildly popular one it did for the Bears-Saints wild-card playoff game. But CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus said the network opted not to do that so it could maximize the audience for the main production on the broadcast network.
I feel like the combination of the NFL, CBS and Nickelodeon coming together and being able to speak a different language while explaining the same type of football that we all love, it hit home. Since it is the biggest sporting event in the nation, expect SoFi to test that capacity limit to its full extent. With Kendrick Lamar, Dr.
We have seen some absolutely tremendous renditions of the national anthem over the past half-century or so. It came at a time when the United States found itself at war for the first time since Vietnam decades earlier and captivated the nation.
Louis Rams and New England Patriots months after the September 11, , terrorist attacks shook the world. In any event, it certainly was an extraordinary NFL season and it was great to see the entertainment side of Super Bowl Sunday.
Whichever teams and performers take to the field at SoFi Stadium on February 13, , the venue itself and the massive Los Angeles-area market should provide a larger-than-life, Hollywood-style backdrop for Super Bowl LVI. After three straight Super Bowls in which the final score wound up being decided by double digits, the next Big Game is due to be an instant classic that comes down to the final possession.
