CBS' Jim Nantz On The Upcoming NFL Season

Jim Nantz and Phil Simms.
Jim Nantz will be entering his third season calling Thursday Night Football with Phil Simms for CBS and the NFL Network.
I caught up with Nantz at NFL on CBS Media Day, and he discussed last year's Super Bowl, Peyton Manning, the Broncos' prospects this season, and Tom Brady and the Patriots.
Jason Schott: What are your memories of last year's Super Bowl, with Peyton Manning going out on top?
Jim Nantz: That was a thrill. To have the responsibility of broadcasting Super Bowl 50, I don't know, it's going to rank up there when my career many, many years down the road comes to a close. I will always treasure that on the short list of things I've had a chance to do.  Very special.
