“Hiring Phyllis (George) was a bold, gutsy brilliant move. The chemistry on the set worked wonderfully and the result was the gold standard for pregame shows.”— Howard Katz, former president of ABC Sports and member of the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame “CBS and The NFL Today set the template. They invented the form. They have pioneer status. They got it right on their own terms first.”--Bob Costas, member of the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame “In YOU ARE LOOKING LIVE! Rich Podolsky has captured the rollicking, personal stories of everyone involved in The NFL Today. We get to know the people, the time, and how television worked. We also get to see how the big name personalities moved through their careers to unite on such a legendary show."--Lesley Visser, first woman enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, a member of the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame and a former panelist on The NFL Today."The NFL Today took network sports television onto a new playing field that not only changed the television game but altered the way pro football saw itself and adjusted to a changing landscape. Decades later, the influence of "The NFL Today" continues to reshape pro football's existence and its survival."--Neil Amdur—former 15-year sports editor of The New York Times and CBS Sports producer.“The NFL Today had America’s great cross section of personalities connecting fans to a sport in a manner we had never before seen. In the 60’s, Studio shows consisted of one anchor with an index card reading scores. The NFL Today took us out for LIVE reports, followed by The Greek’s take, which was must see for gamblers and fans alike. The interviews conducted by Phyllis were unforgettable, whether it was Namath discussing his bachelor pad, or Captain Comeback Roger Staubach admitting, “I love having sex as much as Joe Namath, but with just one woman.” The term “studio chemistry” was created by Brent & Irv. They were magical together!The Show became the standard by which all adjunct Studio Shows to live sporting events would be measured. In America’s heartland and the Bible Belt football fans were changing times they worshipped and hurrying home to see it. There’s not a Studio Show on any Network today that doesn’t owe The NFL Today a debt of thanks!”--Tim Brando, 40-year sports TV veteran who was the first host of ESPN’s CollegeGameDay, studio host for CBS’ College Football Today and current play-by-play voice of the Fox Sports One.
