I think Justin just answered Graves

I talked with a very stylin Graves at Reds HOF about 6 years ago

• Kurt Warner
• Joe Buck
• Doug Flutie
• Jim Nantz
• Bill Raftery

No, it was as minimal as it can get but the year after he stopped playing my son and I stayed through a long delay and snuck down and sat in 2nd row right behind Reds dugout. I kept staring at the guy in the front row 2 seats over, looked so damn familiar. It took me an inning but I figured out it was Leake and his wife. He was cheering on a rally against the Brewers like any regular Reds fan. There was no one sitting between us and Reds pitcher gave up a big 3 run HR to crush the Reds chances. The HR pretty much cleared out the remaining fans and we are walking up the stairs out to the main level and I look at him and said “could’ve used you out there this evening” he smiled and said thanks man, I loved  it here.

He had bulked up probably 20 lbs and made it tougher to recognize

Flutie?

Nope. Probably know him and Tirico the best of anyone. Years on Notre Dame, and they use a number of our products each week. Flutie stayed at our hotel, so often had breakfast with him.

Bingo. 

Kurt Warner I met a few times during NBC games he was color commentator for. Really nice guy. Super smart with his breakdowns but struggles conveying it to a TV audience. 

Flutie I discussed above

Nantz met briefly a few times during SB 50 in San Francisco. I was newer-ish hire at that point, so stood back while co-workers handled his questions. Have met him a bit at 2 NCAAT sites (see Raftery below), but we are less involved with announcers for that show.

Raftery I have been on 2 NCAAT with him. He is a fucking hoot. We get assigned our NCAAT sites before Selection Sunday, and then once the matchups and stuff are revealed, the announcers and times are assigned by CBS. So I am always praying I get the A or B crew announcers. Raft will stay up drinking at the hotel bar with whoever wants to sit and chat with him. Nicest man, and one of the quickest wits I have ever seen.

Yeah…I saw you had Raftery and was jealous. He has to be quick witted with how he calls a game.

Stewart?

Yup. I have come close to meeting him twice, but missed out by a few minutes both times.
