A Play-by-Play Journey into Late-Night Sports

Jeff McCarragher is gearing up for another unique sports broadcasting moment. As he steps forward to cover the pro team finals at the American Cornhole League World Championships, held on Friday in Rock Hill, South Carolina, he knows it’s a challenge like no other.

The preparation for this assignment was not something he was accustomed to. He spent late nights watching grainy YouTube videos, scouring Google without success, and sifting through disorganized record books. Despite the hours spent, his productivity was limited, driving him to a point where he felt the need to embrace the spontaneity of the situation.

Having committed to this New Year’s Eve play-by-play gig with enthusiasm, McCarragher found that the standard research methods left him unprepared. It was clear that no amount of research could fully equip him for this unusual job, yet he remained determined to make the most of the experience.
