Even after 20 years, Joe Pak remembers the nerves before an invitation Super Bowl Xxxix in Jacksonville.
Back was only 35 years old in February 2005, the youngest broadcaster to contact Super Bowl for the main TV rights holder. In fact, the entire Fox Sports Broadcast was tonight – Pak, and I Akman and Aris Collensworth – from the young in the broadcast of Super Paul. Collensworth had some experience as the Super Bowl Pregame, but this was a new area (and the nerves) of the trio.
To suppress his nerves on the day of the game, Pak presented himself as a couple The visual sermon on its broadcast panelsMakers of fraud are used to list the lists, notes and statistics for all participants. There are never many empty spaces on the broadcaster, but in the upper left corner where the defensive beginners wrote, Pak presented some inspiration for himself.
Books, “and – that”.
He also added: “Relax” and “Enjoy.”
“It was a reminder that what I was doing would not change the rotation of the earth, so just enjoy it, enjoy and do what I always did,” said Back. “It was only a visual braid to relax and remember that life will return to normal within three hours.”

Sunday, Tom Brady will stand by Kevin Burkhardt to invite Super Bowl Lix in New Orleans, The Capstone to The first year of Bardi In the broadcasting booth.
With an ideal match between the Kansas City Chevings champion and corridors in Philadelphia Eagles led by Sakon Barclay, the game has a legitimate opportunity to create a record to watch Super Bowl, Last year, a record audience of 123.4 million viewers exceeded That watched the leaders defeated San Francisco 49ers in additional time.
Brady is the greatest winner of the Super Bowl game in sports, but the SUPER Bowl broadcast is an unknown area for him. The Sunday match will be away from the 21st broadcasting of this season (44.2 million watches the NFC Championship game that was launched), and there will be tens of millions of people who have never heard Brady calling for a game until the game now game now.
In addition, the reality for broadcasters is: Super Bowl is generally the same game in every season viewers remember how broadcasters did.
For an insightful look at what Brady might have, I spoke with Pak, Al Michaelz, Pomer Isaysson and US Football Association producer Farid Godlli since his first experience, in addition to the size of the game for broadcasters.
“It is certain that it is bigger,” said Esiaason, who was the first broadcast of Super Bowl in January 2000 with Al Michaels on ABC. ESIASON ended with 18 Super Bowls for Westwood One as a radio analyst.
“You know that there are more people who watch them, and more people who listen, and everyone will get an opinion about what you say and how you say that,” Esison said. “Every super bow is to do … you feel it. You know that millions of people are watching.”
Remember Back being very tense for the group’s camera, before the New England Patriots Super Xxxix begins. (Of course, this is always an embarrassing and nervous place for the broadcasters.)
“I was tense for that, and I am still, at the age of fifty -five, I try to go beyond that without saying stupid and embarrassing,” said Pak. “You are on the screen with this lead. You cannot hide. But once the camera is finished for the first time, I felt satisfied. Then when the game happened, I felt more relaxed.
“Before the match started, there is a lot of accumulation, a lot of noise, and a lot of conversation, and I left this little voice to infiltrate my head, who said:” Will I be able to do this? “
Back noticed that, for the Super Bowl broadcaster, it is strange that you know that you are holding a tool in your hand, in which case a microphone, and you are looking at another piece of equipment is a camera, and on the other end of it more than 100 million people. “
“At least for me, as soon as the game started, this was almost comfort,” he said.

Michaels was only in his second year as a calling in the leading game in “Monday Night Football” when he called the first Super Bowl on January 31, 1988, a three -person booth with Frank Gifford and Dan Diedorf. There was an expectation that Denver Broncos and Washington will produce Super Paul, especially given the lack of drama in some of the previous Super Bowl games. Many of that. The final result was 42-10.
“The three of us treated the game as we did in each game” Monday night “for football. “In fact, we thought about the“ Monday night ”game“ Night ”, especially the best successes, such as Mini-Super Bowls. This was clear that this was a different breed, but we tried not to fall into noise and accumulation. Once the game started, I felt a lot in My comfort area.
Brady Khaled, as much as dealing with pressure in the largest moments. But Pak, who worked with the Hall of Famous in Multiple Sports, does not necessarily believe that the experience of pressure as the athlete is an indication of how to call Super Bowl.
“As a player, I imagine as soon as you enter the rhythm and the game flow, it is easier than how I put my mind and my words on something that I do not know what will happen.” “If you are playing, you know the plays and you know what you practice. There is no practice when broadcasting here. You see something new and try to describe it for 100 million people.
“You have to calm this voice that continues to say in your head – do not make a mistake. All this is relatively new for TOM, so it will be a little frightening. I know than talking to Troy, CRIS, and Tower Lears, they said it was almost easier to play in it More than broadcast. “
Farid Godlli, CEO of the American Football Association for NBC, said he will always wander in the Super Bowl field an hour or so before the game start. He did this to remind himself that he achieved a professional goal. During his career, Gaudelli produced nine Super Bowls, including Seven for Us Host TV BroadCaster and two for an international audience.
“I calmed me this walk, put me a little, and made me ready for what it would have been 3/2 or four hours next,” said Godille. “The only thing that our margin correspondent has always told, especially those new in Super Bowl, it was when you reached 30 minutes before the match starts … if you are on the field, this is really overwhelming.
“If you are not ready, it may have an effect on the rest of the day.”
One of the things we learned about Brady in his new role as a TV talent was that he reached many broadcasters before the season to get an insight into the profession. Fox production team said to him that he is very irrefutable. What will our group say to Bardi if he had continued to get advice on how to deal with Super Bowl Lix?
Pak: “My advice is to slow down. Your mind deceives you to go faster than you need to go and try to spit everything on top. There are two weeks of information that you created before this game started, and this is really unnatural. It is vulgar, but let the game come to you. The game will develop, and you will develop with it, but you can not leak everything in the first five minutes.
Godille: Tom is a rhinoceros here because he went to 10 of these. He was in the game. I don’t know if anything about this will feel everything that is foreigner for him. I don’t think it will be like any regular broadcaster for the first time during Super Bowl. “
Esiaason: “I would like to tell him the same thing that I would like to say if he plays at the first Super Bowl – Enjoy it, enjoy and tell us the extent of your appreciation of the mission. People want to hear someone really really and love him.”
Michaels: “I think he will feel as he did when he played. He will be ready to go and cannot wait until the accumulation ends and to start the game. Once he goes, he will settle and enter into this comfort area. … the platform will be the biggest, but the game will take it to where he needs to go as a broadcaster. “
Michaelz received a final advice for Bardi:
“Perhaps in commercial breaks, it goes back once until a while taste. This is something he could not do as a player. It is a pleasant thing, so try to soak everything in it.”
