We've experienced very warm temps in the satellite lab - to a beautiful sunny day at the airstrip. To frigid, windy, snowy conditions early this morning. But all of it has been so much fun and such an honor. The weather has been a side note as far as we're concerned."-- Hannah Storm Hannah: â€œWant to give a big shout out to one of our favorite people on the planet, Bryan Metzger, stage manager who served in Iraq as a member of the Marine Corps.â€ Kevin: â€œDid a couple of tours of duty there, and itâ€™s great to have him as a part of our team. He is the best in the business.â€ Bryan:â€œâ€œIt is truly and honor and a privilege to work for a company that supports veterans. Thank you Hannah, Kevin, Rob (Director Bentley), Michael (Sr. Coordinating Producer Fountain), Mark (Producer Eiseman) and Jim (Coordinating Producer Bowdon) for making this Veterans Day personally special with an on-cam shout out.â€ NOTE: ESPN is recognizing all if its veterans on its â€˜Bottom Lineâ€ crawl seen in photo above.
