The camera is really the play-by-play person.

I got hired by the Cards when I was 21, and I could handle the job, but for the most part, I got hired because I was somebody's kid. When you start that way, you have a lot to prove.

If you're the play-by-play announcer, I think it's your job to be better than just saying what's on people's TV screen.

I think sometimes, you have to pick your spots about when a game gets intense or when the game's outcome is pivoting in that moment.

But I tell people all the time that if you can do the job, then there's a spot for you. I refuse to believe that there isn't any room in this business. People leave jobs and jobs open up every year. If you can do the job, you'll find your way into the broadcast booth.

The worst thing in the world is to feel like people turn on the TV and say, oh god, it's that guy again. I'm trying to avoid that.

I think by its very nature, it's redundant, you know, being the play-by-play guy on television.
