For Super Bowl broadcasters, game 'boards' are an indispensable booth secret
Briefly

Super Bowl broadcasters utilize custom-made study sheets called 'boards,' rich in player statistics and trivia, to enhance their on-air commentary. These boards are not scripts, allowing for spontaneous delivery, as emphasized by Jim Nantz, a veteran announcer. Although Fox did not disclose information about the boards for Super Bowl LIX, the process remains consistent among announcers, who find nostalgia in their extensive collections of past game boards, which they meticulously preserve despite signs of use.
The boards used by Super Bowl broadcasters are essential tools, not scripts, providing a wealth of information to enhance their game calling.
Jim Nantz emphasizes that these boards serve as 'little reminders' rather than something to read from during broadcasts.
