Greetings from the Super Bowl in the Big Easy!
I’m in New Orleans editing for CBS Sports. We’re working on the 5 hours of preview programming that happens before the game. Keep an eye out for the opening 1-hour documentary starring Wynton Marsalis all about the city of New Orleans and its people (and there’s some football in there too). It was produced by my friend Sarah Rinaldi and it’s brilliant. Starts at 12PM ET on CBS.
I’ve got a night shift, 8P-8A in one of many edit trucks right next to the Superdome. Not easy but has some perks: We get to see halftime rehearsals and the show looks great! They are working so hard – running through the entire performance 3 or 4 times a night. During the day I’m enjoying the city and watching the energy and festivities build. My wife Emily is on her way, and she’ll be in the stadium watching the game, while I’ll be living vicariously through her as I cut highlights for the Halftime and Post-Game shows.
In the meantime, here’s a fun tease I edited a few months ago for a local New York broadcast of a pre-season Jets versus Giants game. This is for my fellow New Yorkers to contemplate what might have been, or gear up for next season.
Enjoy the game!
