Post-rush hour, the drive from the Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills to the Los Angeles Rams’ practice facility in Thousand Oaks, Calif. is a manageable 50 minutes. On Friday, Nov. 15, most of the core broadcast team for NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” — analyst Cris Collinsworth, sideline reporter Michele Tafoya, executive producer Fred Gaudelli, director Drew Esocoff and researcher Andy Freeland — make that trip together in a luxury van, departing the hotel shortly after 11 a.m. Laptops open, Collinsworth and Tafoya are prepping for the interviews they will do with players and Rams head coach Sean McVay after they spend more than an hour observing the team’s practice.
But they and the crew members are also talking about the news of the morning — the suspension that the NFL handed down to Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett for hitting the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Mason Rudolph in the head with the quarterback’s own helmet.

This story first appeared in the Aug. 29 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. CBS Sports is gearing up for Thursday Night Football, the NFL's first expansion into broadcast primetime since 2006, when Sunday night games moved from Espn to NBC. But the crew at NBC Sports -- including chairman Mark Lazarus, 51; play-by-play team Al Michaels, 69, Cris Collinsworth, 55, and sideline reporter Michele Tafoya, 49; coordinating producer Fred Gaudelli, 54; and director Drew Esocoff, 56 -- says it is not concerned about the incursion.

While we await the opening of the London Games on Friday (7:30 p.m. Et on NBC), and the start of the swimming competition on Saturday (check the live stream and TV schedules on NBCOlympics.com), we asked three-time 1984 gold medalist Rowdy Gaines, who’ll be calling his sixth Olympics for NBC, to tell us the five greatest things we won’t see on TV.
1. The warmup pool. There’s hugs and kisses and cheers and tears. Even an occasional fist fight will happen back in the warmup pool. It happened in ’84 when I was competing in L.A. I...

Michaels exits ABC, looks at NBC
NEW YORK -- Longtime ABC announcer Al Michaels has left the network in a dispute over the course of Monday Night Football, on which he was set to have a starring role when it moves to ESPN in the fall. The announcement Wednesday apparently clears the way for Michaels to join NBC as play-by-play announcer for its Sunday Night Football broadcast. But neither Michaels nor NBC were talking Wednesday. Michaels had spurned NBC in the fall, choosing to remain with his employer of 30 years and signing a new contract that included Monday Night Football and his NBA play-by-play duties (HR 7/29). "MNF" analyst John Madden as well as two key behind-the-scenes people -- producer Fred Gaudelli and director Drew Esocoff -- are going to NBC. Apparently between the summer and now, Michaels decided he wanted to join them.
