Sports producer Fred Gaudelli, who works on NBC's 'Sunday Night Football,' has been in the booth for several of the NFL's greatest plays.
The NCAA’s new redshirt rule was intended to give players more control over their career, but it’s had a drastically different result in Houston.“The first three replays we see, Theismann is already saying: ‘I don’t know if that pass was forward … Look where Wycheck is when he throws the ball; look where Dyson catches it; it’s on the same yard line.’ We had a lot of great looks, one of them right down the 25-yard line.
“You’re never quite sure how you do in that moment. But a month ago, on a Saturday night as I was ready to go to sleep in the hotel room, I turned on NFL Network and they were replaying that game. I picked it up in the middle of the fourth quarter and watched it to the end. It was great 20 years later.”Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler intercepts a pass intended for Seattle Seahawks receiver Ricardo Lockette during the final seconds of the Patriots’ 28-24 victory in Super Bowl XLIX.
NBC’s Super Bowl with Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth remains the most-watched program in U.S. TV history, with an average of 114.4 million viewers. “We were like the rest of America, anticipating Marshawn Lynch would get the ball or Russell Wilson rolls out for either a run or throw — we’re not expecting a quick slant,” Gaudelli said, recalling his thoughts as the Seahawks lined up for a second-and-goal from the New England 1-yard line with 26 seconds left. Instead, Wilson threw toward Ricardo Lockette and Butler stepped in to intercept.
“The most amazing thing to me was how quickly Al picks up Malcolm Butler. He’s an undrafted rookie free agent who didn’t play a lot; he was in a few plays before. Al immediately identifies Butler, and I think most broadcasters might have just kind of clutched to make sure. But Al nailed that.
