Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Kevin Harlan previews Super Bowl 60 (Hour 4)

And I'm sitting here in Phoenix, in downtown Phoenix, and if I could get myself to a Taco Bell, I'd do it.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Kevin Harlan previews Super Bowl 60 (Hour 4)

But I'm doing a lot of shows like this today before we do the Suns and Golden State Warriors tonight with no Devin Booker, no Steph Curry.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

I'm going to go, why am I even here?

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Kevin Harlan previews Super Bowl 60 (Hour 4)

I should be up in San Francisco getting ready for this big game on Sunday.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

But here I sit, but I'll be moving tomorrow.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

and getting up there and seeing people we know in the business on Radio Row.

But so glad I have a chance to visit with you guys here today.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Kevin Harlan previews Super Bowl 60 (Hour 4)

Yes, 17th overall.

Moose Johnston and I did the very first HD telecast of the Super Bowl in 2001.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Kevin Harlan previews Super Bowl 60 (Hour 4)

There were probably a million people.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

TV sets in the country, they guessed, that had the capability of getting an HD signal, had never been broadcast in HD before, and Daryl Johnston and I broadcast that game for CBS HD, and then I've been lucky enough to do the past 15 Super Bowls for Westwood One, and this will be my 16th in a row.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

So I'm always so, I feel so fortunate, so blessed,

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Kevin Harlan previews Super Bowl 60 (Hour 4)

to be in that seat and can't wait to get up there and do number 16.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Kevin Harlan previews Super Bowl 60 (Hour 4)

And I think this could be about as interesting a game as we've actually had here in a while.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Kevin Harlan previews Super Bowl 60 (Hour 4)

Yeah, you know, it is.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

I think my record was 42 different outlets a couple years ago, and then they gracefully cut back my appearances on that because I'm there for about three hours.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Kevin Harlan previews Super Bowl 60 (Hour 4)

But when you're going from one entity to the next, some TV stuff, some international stuff, a lot of radio affiliates like your great station, you know, they're asking a lot of different kind of questions.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Kevin Harlan previews Super Bowl 60 (Hour 4)

And it's weird because...

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Kevin Harlan previews Super Bowl 60 (Hour 4)

I go in thinking, well, they're probably going to ask a lot about the New England defense.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Or they're going to ask about, you know, Darnold and his well-traveled resume and here on his fifth team has a chance to make history.
