| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, we are live here at Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas, Nevada, in sports spectrum, bringing the conversations of football and faith, faith in Jesus Christ. |
| 0:22.2 | And it's always great when we can run into one of our friends. |
| 0:25.7 | Interviews that we aren't expecting necessarily, and all of a sudden, it just kind of comes together |
| 0:30.8 | and we get a wonderful conversation. |
| 0:32.4 | And that happened with Devin McCordy, three-time Super Bowl champion, three-time second team, |
| 0:37.0 | all-pro, two-time |
| 0:37.9 | pro-bowler, and now doing his thing as a broadcaster with NBC Sports. |
| 0:42.9 | And this weekend at the Super Bowl, on the audio side, he's going to be working with Westwood |
| 0:48.6 | 1 in the pregame, the halftime, and the post-game coverage of Super Bowl 58. We had a chance to talk to Devin McCordy. It's coming up right now on Sports Spectrum. Let's take a listen. You never know who you're going to run into at Super Bowl 58 here in Las Vegas, and it happens to be a good friend of the show at Sports Spectrum. Devin McCordy, what's up, my friend? Nothing much, man. I feel like every time I see you, this show gets bigger. Sports Spectrum grows. It's awesome to just see everything you're doing, man. We're getting bigger, but not as big as you, because it was wonderful. I thought you were big when you were playing, but all of a sudden, this broadcasting thing, last time we had you on, by the way, was April. You had just retired, and you hadn't made the decision |
| 1:11.2 | or you thought you wanted to go into broadcasting, but you didn't know the NBC thing was going to come to fruition. |
| 1:34.7 | So let's go back a little bit because it's, it was awesome watching you on Sunday night, listening to you doing radio calls, watching your brother flourish and I mean, this is the McCordie Brothers being together forever, |
| 1:46.4 | and all of a sudden you both are into this broadcasting space. |
| 1:49.4 | Tell me about that transition what that was like for you over the summer |
| 1:52.1 | to say yes to broadcasting and then how this season went for you. |
| 1:57.0 | Jay, it was just crazy from the standpoint of the season ends, |
| 3:08.2 | and I had told the guys during the year, like, you know, you're trying to get everybody motivated. I'm like, I'm 80% sure I'm done. This is my last year. And then, like, the season ends, and you're trying to make that decision. And ultimately, I was sitting there, and I'm watching my brother day in and day out doing what he's doing. So I remember one day I text and I was like, hey, like really, like how you doing? Because I think that's important. Like when you get older and you see guys are retiring, just checking in. He was like, I really love everything I'm doing. It seems that way too, which is good. So I'm watching. I'm like, You know, he's like this is. So now I finish year 13. I'm like, I'm over here debating if I want to do broadcasting or go back and play in the NFL. That's a sign. Like it's over with. So that period you're talking about, I was hoping I'm like, who's going to hire me? I've done all this media stuff. They keep telling me I'm good. And it's like two months go by and I don't hear anything. And my wife's looking at me because I'm kind of miserable to be around at the house because I don't know what's happening and what's going to go next. And then NBC calls and the year felt like it went by like this. Like it was just snap of the fingers. A year was over, but it was just awesome. |
| 3:13.2 | I think the biggest thing I think for me that transition was I went from the locker room to a new locker room at NBC and the team, everybody there, Chris Sims is the guy that I know since I was |
| 3:19.1 | in high school. So being there with him, familiar face and everybody, producers, the grab, like everybody behind the scenes that make shows work, we spend eight hours, 10 hours a day watching all of the games together. |
| 3:33.1 | Fans of the Jets, the Giants, Cal, like everybody's in there. |
| 3:36.4 | We're talking trash to each other. |
| 3:37.7 | We're arguing. |
| 3:38.6 | So for me, it turned into one day a week. I go in the studio and I get to just hang with |
