The 29-year-old NBC Sports broadcaster called college football’s game of the week from South Bend on Saturday, then turned around to call Sunday Night Football between the Buccaneers and Bears less than 24 hours later, after Mike Tirico was ruled out with a health issue. Eagle capped it off by filling in for Tirico again, this time on the hardwood as the Celtics took on the 76ers Tuesday night.NBC Sports’ rising star caught up with Awful Announcing earlier this week to discuss how it all went down.The following has been lightly edited for clarity.When did NBC first tell you you’d possibly be filling in for Mike on SNF?The first inkling I got was Friday. Just a, ‘Hey, there’s a chance. We don’t really know.’ And then I really found out Saturday morning right around the time of our production meeting (for Miami-Notre Dame). I was told, went through the day of preparing for Notre Dame-Miami, then shifted the focus the second that game ended and drove over to Chicago that night.What was the prep like on such an abbreviated timeline?I really just approached it like, okay, look, I can’t do a standard week’s worth of work. And so as a result of that, I’m not going to overly stress, I’m just going to do my game tonight and then I’m going to do as much as I can leading up on Sunday.More than anything, when I got there on Sunday, just hearing from Cris Collinsworth and Melissa Stark, and Rob Hyland, the producer, and Drew Esocoff, the director, and getting their deep dive on the game, that was probably the most helpful thing for me. Just getting an understanding of what they saw through the week in all of their meetings that I obviously wasn’t a part of.And then the other part of this is that I had charts made up Saturday once I found out I was gonna do this. My statistician, Josh Zaleznik, went to FedEx and printed them and then brought them to me, because I was still in college mode, finishing all my stuff for Notre Dame-Miami. That was super helpful for me as well, just to save some time.A lot of credit to Mike Tirico as well, because he sent me what he had already done through the week. So I got to at least see that, which I thought was very helpful, seeing where he was laying things out.Did you get any sleep on Saturday night after calling Miami-ND?I did. I kind of value that as being important just so I can be alert. I knew if I didn’t get my normal level of sleep or close to it that I wouldn’t be at my best once the light came on. So that’s something that’s at the top of my list. Now, did I get my normal allotment? Probably not. But I got more than enough to at least be functional, which I thought was important.We got to the hotel just past midnight Central Time, I get up to the room and I tried to get in bed close to 1 a.m., a little after 1 a.m., and then woke up at 8:30 for our production meeting at 9:00. And once those were done, it was
