Millions of NFL fans are again devoting a few hours each Sunday to watching their favorite teams, and one of the key players in those TV broadcasts is Drew Esocoff '79, who is in his fourth season as director of NBC's Sunday Night Football.

Esocoff started this NFL season without one of the icons of the broadcasting industry, John Madden, who Esocoff worked closely with on the NBC telecasts.

The thrill is definitely not gone for Ken Schanzer.

As president of NBC Sports for nearly 10 years, he says he has "one of the greatest jobs on the planet."

As an alumnus from the Class of 1966, he says his love of Colgate -- a place of "magic and miracles" -- is as strong as ever.

During a recent visit to campus, Schanzer talked about his job and alma mater for the latest episode (mp3) of Colgate Conversations, the podcast series that highlights members of the campus community.
