A lot has been made of Fox’s booth before the Super Bowl, as a broadcaster Kevin Burkhardt And Greg Olsen debut was first called the biggest event of American sports. With the specter of Tom Brady looming over Olsen’s future as Fox’s #1 analyst, the duo were around all night.
Burkhardt is excited when he should be, Olsen’s main points are relevant, and the booth is present but not overbearing throughout. The most categorical moment – aka the call when the winner takes the title – is fine. “And the Kansas City Chiefs won Super Bowl LVII” won’t leave anyone thinkingand Burkhardt doesn’t have to.
Play the way you play the guy had to be old, extremely unlikable or the son of a famous broadcaster for the public to turn against him, and Burkhardt was not one of them. However, he is not a replacement, so let’s talk about half of that duo is.
Olsen won the chance to be someone’s analyst
Olsen can easily overdo it and try too hard. The insight he adds to a call as a tight end previously extends from the pass game to the blocking schemes, and he explains it very well without making things too complicated. complicated.
G/O Media can receive commission
He took risks throughout coaching, with Nick Sirianni taking the risk and Andy Reid choosing to score in fourth and not taking too much risk. site conditions played a factor even though it was the Super Bowl, and Olsen, as a good analyst, saw what we saw.
My biggest concern was when the boys orgasmed online during quarterback, and Olsen remained calm even after Jalen Hurts hit Dallas Goedert in the third and 14th innings. He made it through. Sirianni a bit in the fourth inning, but that’s a big part of the first half, so I’m not too bothered about it.
There wasn’t much controversy outside of THAT call, and Olsen came out on top. Mike Pereira could protect the zebras as he liked, but Olsen was right. It’s a 50-50 call, and Eagles fans will never – NEVER – ignore it.
Note about diversity
The NFL checked every variety box they could before the game even started. Babyface opens for national anthem singer Chris Stapleton. We have a Native American signing the national anthem, and for the first time all-female military flyover, something the NFL will certainly take note of.
Next up is Burkhardt and Olsen reminding us that even Fox’s B team isn’t black. It would be great if all this energy on Olsen possibly being ousted by Brady could also be directed towards having more diversity on the call.
