That will be the case this Monday when the Cincinnati Bengals & Jacksonville Jaguars play. While Joe Buck, Troy Aikman & Lisa Salters call the game on ESPN & ABC, Peyton & Eli will present an alternate broadcast on ESPN2. It's one of ten such alternate games airing on "The Deuce" again this season, which will also include playoff games.
I bring up the "ManningCast" because NBC Sports Chicago is about to try something along those lines for 10 upcoming Hawk home games.
These games will include a camera following a Blackhawks' player around, including rookie star Connor Bedard.
NBCSC's Pat Boyle, who hosts pre, intermission & postgame for the regular broadcasts, will do the same on these "HawkCasts" airing on NBC Sports Chicago Plus. Boyle will be joined on these alternative broadcasts by Hawks' studio analysts Caley Chelios, Tony Granato & Jon Scott starting with Tuesday's game vs the Nashville Predators. This while Chris Vosters & Darren Pang call the traditional hockey game on NBCSC itself.
“We’re looking forward to presenting our special HawkCast presentations showcasing Connor and other select Blackhawks players during their full shift on the ice," said John Schippman, VP of Sports Content, NBCUniversal Local Chicago. “These exclusive telecasts on NBC Sports Chicago Plus will enable Blackhawks fans to experience the player’s movements and entire on-ice mindset in a brand-new way.”
