“Carter then spent two years in Alabama as a sports reporter and anchor before calling college sports with ESPN.
Despite the flagship name, Carter realized the network didn’t compare to working for a local station where he could develop an intimate relationship with a team’s fan base.
“When you’re calling games and you’re just in one place, then you’re on to the next one. I don’t know. It’s hard to feel that way,” Carter said. “Maybe you teach somebody something about their favorite team when you parachute into the broadcast. Or maybe you make a joke that makes somebody laugh. But it’s temporary.””
– This bit made me appreciate Carter even more. He doesn’t want to just be a do several teams or sports guy, but commit to one team to build something more sustainable and intimate.

A little surprised that Grande didn’t get the job. Maybe he didn’t want it?
