If you usually watch sports couch potato-style, here's a chance to learn about the work that goes into each television broadcast.  In this episode, CBS Sports Producer Ken Mack takes us into his production truck and walks us through a typical week:  planning graphics and storylines for the broadcast, travelling from stadium to stadium, meeting with coaches and players ... and then goes into detail about the intense, exhilarating hours of live television he produces each week.  We find out:

-When do you break for commercials?
-What if an announcer says something outrageous on air?
-How do you handle six people talking to you at once... during a live broadcast?!

It's the ultimate reality show, and we have the best seat in the stadium.
