Can you tell us just real quick about your son Jack's Grand Champion steer, like the size, the weight, how it's judged, things like that, for folks who are in the dark like the rest of us?

Well, I'm still in the dark on some of this stuff.

It's You know, it's up to the judge what they're looking for in particular, and each judge is different.

You know, it's just like when you watch the Olympics and you're watching the figure skating competition and everybody lands the jumps and you're thinking, okay, you know, everything seems equal, but the Russian judge likes the music that was used.

The French judge likes, you know, the costumes that were worn.

You know, it's all a matter of taste, and, you know, some of these judges, you know, judge differently.

With that said, Jack had a 1,400-pound black Angus steer, and it was in the British slick-shorn division.

and that's just that's just with the espn where do you go this weekend

How did you get your start at ESPN?

um well i was after i did my time at sioux falls and omaha i went to cnn sports illustrated and again i was still you know primarily an anchor there i did a little bit of reporting in the field but not much i was behind the desk anchor for cnn si you guys are too young to remember this but um That was a 24-hour sports network, which was competing with ESPN and ESPN News primarily.

It was a 24-hour news product where every half hour and sometimes every hour the show would repeat.

And we just keep you updated on sports of the day.

And that ran for about seven years, eight years, but I was one of their early domestic anchors because we had a world international sports department as well that covered rugby and soccer and everything overseas.

It was a really interesting newsroom.

Got to meet a lot of great people.

I'm just kind of curious, you know, over the years, how would you share your – your evolution for i don't know prepping before games has kind of gone because i know every um play-by-play or announcer whatever has their own way of going about things so how would you kind of say your routine from preparing for a hockey game baseball whatever you're covering football goes
