Scott Hanson feels more like a football in his hands.
This is how the host of the addictive NFL RedZone appealed Friday with members of the media, an appeal parallel to the millions of football enthusiasts who feel most comfortable when they are in Hanson’s competent hands, anchoring politics every week. And with the coronavirus pandemic interrupting life in general like never before, Hanson said he hadn’t noticed a greater call to RedZone politics than he is today.
Fans will still get this classic NFL RedZone broadcast at 1 p. m. until 4 p. m. the games window is complete.
“Every landing of each and every game, seven hours of ad-free football, each and every one of the most productive moments. “Hanson said from his home in Los Angeles: “But the scenes, we had to replace a little bit. “
For social estating purposes, the showroom, which usually involves 20 or 30 people, will be divided into 3 or 4 more rooms.
“I’m going to see, physically, two 3 living human beings on Sunday,” said Hanson, 49. “And I saw almost all those other people living and in user and interacting with them at some point. From now on, it will be a limited human contact. “
This year, the only two other people who will be physically in the room with Hanson will be observers and researchers Bryan Larrivee, son of Green Bay announcers, Packers Wayne Larrivee and Tim Guilanians. And the physical ensemble itself will also be rotated so that Larrivee and the guilanians can be more scattered and remote in the room.
Hanson will have to adapt to certain things before the screen starts. Pre-broadcast mounting of RedZone will now take position in Zoom. His breakfast before the screen is activated at 10am in the Pacific, full of dense salt protein, so he doesn’t have to use the bathroom all day, now he’ll eat it in his famous workplace in a takeaway container at the NFL Media cafeteria.
In addition, Hansen and the RedZone team usually use at least a week of preseason for a dress-up practice session for normal-season shows, however, it is clear that there has been no preseason this year. This year, they had to fend for themselves, betting some of last season’s games and letting chaos paint their magic so the tech team can get back on the move and acclimatize to their new socially remote settings.
“We’ll have to solve some disruptions from the start,” Hanson said, “but I hope the public enjoys the same NFL RedZone joy they’re used to. “
This delight will be reinforced this year by offering the team the chance to share live wins through NextGen stats after some wonderful games or moments from the day’s matches, although they have not made a decision on whether or to what extent Hanson will use it. The miles consistent with the time of the ball carriers will be another feature that RedZone will use, with knowledge that it will take 10 seconds after the end of a game through uniform tiles. Hanson will see those elements raise the price to the visual spectacle. In.
Hanson himself spent dozens of hours researching and himself at home,Like any other year, he’ll know all about teams, players, rookies, low-season acquisitions and intensity charts to live up to his incredibly high standards, as any other year would. However, now without the advantages of pre-season games, you will be content with a limited practice video.
“We are all informed as we go along. And I’m going on to make mistakes on the show,” Hanson said. “But what I need is for my percentage to be in the top 99th percentile not to make mistakes in fact, which gives the statistic, misidentification of a player.
The purpose of Hanson and RedZone is for you, the viewer, not to realize any of the things we just talked about in this article so you can sit back and enjoy seven hours of non-stop football every Sunday next time. 17 weeks.
“We have millions of other people in NFL RedZone that we review to inform, entertain and serve as audiences. And they happen to be challenges,” he says. And yet when you go to touchdowns, it’s all football and I can’t wait until Sunday at 1 p. m. Eastern Time.
