Alright, so today I wanna talk about something kinda random I was messing around with the other day: figuring out who the heck was calling the Lions-Bucs game. You know, those voices that either make you wanna cheer or mute the TV? Yeah, those guys.
It all started ’cause I was watching the game, and I swear, one of the commentators was driving me nuts. So, like any sane person, I decided to dive down the rabbit hole and find out their names. My initial thought was, “Easy peasy, just Google it!” Turns out, it wasn’t that straightforward.
First thing I did, obviously, was type “Lions Bucs game commentators” into Google. Got a bunch of sports news sites, game recaps, but nothing concrete about the specific broadcast team for that particular game. Frustrating, right?
Okay, so I thought maybe I needed to be more specific. I remembered the network that was airing the game (let’s say it was Fox for the sake of argument). So, I Googled “Fox NFL commentators Lions Bucs.” This got me closer! I landed on some pages that listed upcoming NFL broadcast teams for Fox, but, of course, the info wasn’t always up-to-the-minute accurate. Ugh.
Next up, I figured I’d hit up the Fox Sports website directly. Went to their NFL section, scrolled around looking for schedules, announcers, anything. Found a few press releases about their lead broadcast teams, you know, the big names. But still, nada on the specific Lions-Bucs crew. Man, they make you WORK for this info!
Then, a lightbulb moment! I remembered that some sports websites have forums or comment sections where people discuss this kinda stuff. Found a forum dedicated to NFL broadcasting and did a quick search. Bingo! Someone had posted the broadcast team a few days before the game. It was Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen, with Erin Andrews on the sidelines. Score!
So, yeah, that’s how I found out who was calling the game. It took a little digging, but eventually, I pieced it together. Sometimes, you just gotta be a little persistent and try a few different angles. And honestly, now that I know who they are, I can appreciate (or, you know, mentally prepare for) their commentary a little better next time. Hope this helps anyone else trying to track down those elusive announcers!
