Fox runs NFL DH in Week # 2; Buck and Aikman call 2 games; CBS’ Nantz and Romo in Oakland
Spotlight on Brandon Gaudin who gets an NFL game this week for Fox;

Week # 2:
Brief comments, full schedules, announcers, coverage and geography. Below, spotlight on Brandon Gaudin who’ll be working a Fox game this weekend
Desultory Comments:
- CBS has a singleton, Fox the doubleheader. New York, Miami, Detroit and Nashville get only the late game from Fox
- Brandon Gaudin calls his first NFL game for Fox, teaming with Cris Carter (profile of Brandon below)
- Dick Stockton, sharp last week, teams with Mark Schlereth who was underwhelming last week, missing two critical observations, a key face-mask penalty and a criticized time-out late in the game. Only a coach can take the time-out, not a player. Mark should have known it.
- Kevin Burkhardt and Charles Davis get Fox’ most widely distributed first game, getting the historical rivalry, Dallas and Washington. The game goes to half of America.
- Jim Nantz and Tony Romo are in Oakland where their Chiefs-Raiders game goes to a third of the country, mostly out west. My stream of consciousness: Raiders-Chiefs always triggers memories of AFL days and Curt Gowdy presiding over the NBC telecast when these two would clash.
- On ESPN, Bogger sounds good in a lead analyst role. Tessitore sounds like he’s still tweaking the tone and rhythm of his call. Yet he sounded much more relaxed last weekend. Always liked him on college.

Brandon Gaudin- Fox

Brandon Gaudin is the first in Fox’s stable of occasional NFL announcers to earn an assignment this season. He’ll call Sunday’s matchup between the Arizona Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens alongside Hall of Famer Cris Carter. This will be this 35-year-old’s first NFL game on TV, yet he has plenty of experience.
He first did radio, covering college basketball at his alma mater, Butler. He did so when the team made a national championship run in 2011. His calls of Butler’s last-second wins over Old Dominion and Pittsburgh were featured on SportsCenter. In 2013, he moved to Atlanta to become the radio voice for Georgia Tech football and basketball.
Soon after getting the job at Georgia Tech, he added Westwood One to his growing national resume, calling his first NCAA Tournament game on network radio in 2015 and his first NFL game in 2016. He left Georgia Tech for a multi-sport role with the Big Ten Network and Fox Sports1 after the 2015–16 school year. Brandon has continued to call NFL and college basketball games for Westwood One.
Gaudin is now in his fourth year as the voice of the Madden NFL video game, a job he landed before making his NFL play-by-play debut. Every week during the season, he travels down to EA Sports’s studios in Florida and records new calls.
In other words, he’s busy.
