What insights does Kevin Harlan share about calling Super Bowl 60?

Rich Gannon 0:00
The score! Happy New Year, everyone, along with former NFL MVP Rich Gannon, Kevin Harlan. Somebody has run out on the field. Some goofball in a hat and a red shirt. Now he takes off the shirt. He's running down the middle by the 50. He's at the 30. He's bare-chested and banging his chest. Now he runs the opposite way. He runs at the 50. He runs at the 40. The guy is drunk.
Kevin Harlan 0:21
I just pulled through the Taco Bell drive-thru, and I've got a couple of big, nasty Supreme Burritos right here waiting to be. And I know that they're going to go down a little bit more difficultly now because Marshall is not going to be in that scenario. And then you just kind of wonder where the wind's going to blow. With Rahimi Harrison-Grody. Let's bring it, Layla. Let's bring it home, baby. Let's ramrod our way right into it.

On 104.3 The Score.

That gets me fired up. To do what? I'm not quite sure. Run between the tackles? Let's go. Kevin Harlan is the man to announce it. You know, I think nobody does a better job of play-by-play, not of just football, but life. And so he joins us on our Circus Sports Illinois hotline. Download the Circus Sports app today. Kevin Harlan, the voice on Westwood, one that you will hear calling Super Bowl 60 this Sunday right here on 104.3 The Score. Super Sunday coverage begins at 1, continues throughout the day. Then it is Seahawks and Patriots kickoff at 5.30 right here on the Score and the Odyssey app. And he's calling Sons of Warriors tonight on Prime Video. The man doesn't sleep. Is he here? Did we lose Kevin?
Kevin Harlan 1:35
Oh, no. Oh, I fell asleep. I just... That was the problem, Layla. I heard that embarrassing stuff about Taco Bell and all that other stuff you were playing. And I go, oh my God, what have I done to my career? And I kind of snooze there. I caught 10 winks, but I'm back with you and ready to rock. Ready to go.
Leila Rahimi 1:58
What are you talking about? That was awesome when you were in the Taco Bell drive-thru with us. Who hasn't been in the Taco Bell drive-thru?
Unknown 2:05
Highly relatable content, Kevin.
Kevin Harlan 2:07
Well, I appreciate that. They were great, by the way. They went down smooth and easy. And I'm sitting here in Phoenix, in downtown Phoenix, and if I could get myself to a Taco Bell, I'd do it. 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. I'm going to go, why am I even here? I should be up in San Francisco getting ready for this big game on Sunday. But here I sit, but I'll be moving tomorrow. 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.
Unknown 2:45
And, Kevin, you stay busy. You go from one to the next. Now, correct me if I'm wrong. This is Super Bowl XVI in a row that you're calling?
Kevin Harlan 2:54
Yes, 17th overall. Moose Johnston and I did the very first HD telecast of the Super Bowl in 2001. There were probably a million people. 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. So I'm always so, I feel so fortunate, so blessed, to be in that seat and can't wait to get up there and do number 16.

How does Kevin Harlan balance his NFL and NBA broadcasting duties?

Kevin Harlan 3:41
And I think this could be about as interesting a game as we've actually had here in a while.
Leila Rahimi 3:47
Well, and you're the consummate pro, you know, I can't imagine what it's like calling so many Super Bowls, knowing that it's not just the sports nerds like us who want to talk to you, say about the game where you might not see Steph Curry tonight. We're still interested. But, you know, also the Sunday games you do every week for Westwood one. But then what the conversations are like with people when it comes to the Super Bowl, because that's the audience that doesn't typically watch football, but they're watching the game every year.
Kevin Harlan 4:13
Yeah, you know, it is. 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.
