Love these little pieces – short and sweet, high energy and easy on the eye. Made lots of them during my many years working on site for CBS’s U.S. Open Late Night Show.
And then the Late Night Show got cancelled and I haven’t been back. Oh well. That’s the nature of these gigs – they come and go. I still get my dose of tennis, putting together the US Open Preview Show at the CBS Broadcast Center.

I edited this homage to tennis star Rafael Nadal with my friend and talented producer Joe Zappulla. Joe is outspoken, opinionated, and likes to have fun. He also gets the job done. It’s a pleasure to work with him, from the early, grueling days in Edit-73 back in 1998 when CBS first recovered the NFL contract, through Superbowls and Tours De France. Great work Joe!

Much of my work at CBS Sports involves putting together very short pieces that get rolled into a live show such as the NFL Today.
Editing the U.S. Open Preview Show is a nice change. Not only do I get to create fun pieces like this one that set up the live event, I also work with a producer to assemble the entire taped show from start to finish. A half hour of network television, all ours.
