So the game begins, finally, but by the fourth quarter, both Rod and I become clock watchers. At the end of the game we have to be on the field to go live, but it means we have to be at the right gate at the right time. If you do not know the stadium, this can be difficult and disastrous. Outside of the game, being on the field after it's all over is the best. Everyone battles for position and this is where cameramen and producers earn their money.
Aggressiveness counts at key moments.
By Monday morning, you're back on a jet and flying home. And in some ways the whole week will have been a blur. One of my personal professional regrets is not having played in a Super Bowl. Never good enough and never on a team good enough. But being on the outside looking in does give you a different perspective, and it is impressive.
