Super Bowl LII, welcome from ESPN’s people of the Bold North

“The last time the Super Bowl was in Minnesota (Super Bowl XXVI), I was in my first year of local news in Minneapolis, and my future wife was dancing in the halftime show. I remember seeing [ESPN commentator] Chris Berman and [former ESPN NFL analyst] Tom Jackson walking around the floor of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome on Media Day and wondering what working for ESPN could possibly be like. This year, I get to do both – cover the biggest sporting event in the world for the biggest sports network in the world. Oh, and no air travel on Monday rocks.”
