St. Petersburg Times

staff writer Tom Jones last week about the broadcast.

Is there a difference between doing a game in London and a game in the United States?

In the end, it is a football game, and fans of the Bucs and the Bears and of the NFL are watching the game. Obviously, we are going to recognize that the game is in London and that it is special. But it's still a football game. That is our priority.

What's the hardest part to doing the game?

Just getting acclimated. The schedule is thrown off because the teams are not on their normal routines. But once the game arrives, it should be normal.

No. I guess you could say it's implied. But we would recognize that the game is in London anyway. It is special to be there. It is a different atmosphere. Our job, however, is to produce the best football broadcast we can.

What is Wembley Stadium like to do a game?

State of the art. It's like doing a game at the new Cowboys Stadium. It's a state-of-the-art facility, for sure.

Do you have a normal crew for the game?

Pretty much. We will have 13 cameras overall, most run by our people, and all by people who know the game of football. … And we're all used to the equipment we will use over there. There's a bit of conversion to be done in terms of measurements of tape and so forth, but it's not a problem. I expect the game to go off without any issues.
