[6]

Antes de CBS Sports [ editar ]

Nantz comenzó como presentador y presentador de deportes para KHOU en Houston, Texas a principios de la década de 1980 y luego se convirtió en presentador de deportes de fin de semana en KSL-TV en Salt Lake City (1982-1985), donde llamó a los juegos de fútbol BYU y Utah Jazz junto con Hot Rod Hundley . [7] [8]

En CBS Sports [ editar ]

Nantz se unió a CBS Sports en 1985, inicialmente trabajando como anfitrión de estudio para la cobertura de baloncesto y fútbol universitario de la red , y como reportero en el campo de golf del PGA Tour , además de convocar juegos de la NFL en Westwood One (de 1988 a 1990 , cuando lo trasladaron a la televisión, Nantz llamó Sunday Night Football games para lo que entonces se llamaba CBS Radio Sports). Nantz ha sido el ancla de la cobertura de CBS del Masters Tournament desde 1989. Se asoció con Billy Packer para convocar las finales de baloncesto masculino de la NCAA Final Four de 1991. hasta 2008. De 2008 a 2013, Clark Kellogg había sido su analista.

Tras la suspensión de Anthony, Bill Raftery y Grant Hill fueron seleccionados para reemplazarlo y son los nuevos socios de Nantz.

La NFL en CBS [ editar ]

Después de presentar el programa previo al juego de CBS The NFL Today de 1998 a 2003 , se convirtió en The NFL en el mejor locutor de CBS en 2004 . Ese movimiento envió a Greg Gumbel al estudio y a Nantz al stand del estadio con Phil Simms . En 1991 y 1992 , Nantz, como Tim Brant, fue emparejado con el analista Hank Stram en transmisiones de la NFL. En 1993 , había reemplazado previamente a su predecesor, Greg Gumbel como anfitrión de NFL Today mientras Gumbel estaba fuera cubriendo la Serie de Campeonato de la Liga Americana para CBS.. Verne Lundquist y Dan Fouts fueron el equipo número 2 durante gran parte de la temporada 1993. Sin embargo, Nantz y Randy Cross llamarían el juego de playoffs de la segunda ronda para CBS ( Dallas vs. Green Bay ) no convocado por Pat Summerall y John Madden . Mientras tanto, Tim Ryan y Matt Millen fueron el equipo número 3 durante gran parte de la temporada 1993.

Se une a Curt Gowdy , Kevin Harlan y Dick Enberg como los únicos locutores jugada por jugada que han convocado tanto un Super Bowl como un Campeonato de baloncesto masculino de la NCAA. ( Greg Gumbel llamó a los Super Bowls, el Super Bowl XXXV y el Super Bowl XXXVIII anteriores de CBS ). Nantz también es uno de los dos hombres en organizar un Super Bowl, anunciar un juego del Campeonato de baloncesto masculino de la NCAA y presentar la cobertura de The Masters desde Butler Cabin con Brent Musburger es el otro. Musburger también logró las tres hazañas con CBS. Durante el Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco , sin saberlo, golpeó Nantz con el trofeo Vince Lombardi durante la presentación, pero Nantz simplemente restó importancia.

En 2014, Nantz y el socio de transmisión Phil Simms convocaron los partidos de Thursday Night Football en un acuerdo con CBS y NFL Network . Tracy Wolfson fue la reportera de los juegos del jueves junto con los juegos del domingo en CBS. En 2017, el ex mariscal de campo de los Dallas Cowboys, Tony Romo, reemplazó a Phil Simms como comentarista de color de Nantz para las transmisiones televisivas de la NFL de CBS. [10]

En 2021, Nantz y Tony Romo convocaron el Super Bowl LV .

Nantz apareció como él mismo en la película de 1996 Tin Cup [12] y ha aparecido en episodios de varias series de televisión, incluidas Arliss , Yes, Dear , Criminal Minds y How I Met Your Mother.(temporada 5, episodio 14 + 15 y temporada 9, episodio 24).

Personal life[edit]

Nantz's first book, Always By My Side – A Father's Grace and a Sports Journey Unlike Any Other, was released in May 2008. Nantz tells personal stories from football, basketball, and golf, and how he has met people along the way who remind him of the virtues his father instilled in him. The foreword to the book was written by one of his father figures, friend and frequent golf partner, former President George H.W. Bush. Nantz's father, Jim Nantz Jr., died in 2008 after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease; he was treated at The Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas. In January 2011, Jim Nantz and The Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas, launched the Nantz National Alzheimer Center. The mission of the Center is to improve care and treatment for patients with Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research and the investigation of its causes, including the role of concussions and other past neurological trauma.

Nantz was married to Ann-Lorraine "Lorrie" Carlsen Nantz for 26 years before divorcing in 2009. The couple lived in Westport, Connecticut, and had one child, daughter Caroline.[20] In November 2009, Jim Nantz was ordered to pay his ex-wife $916,000 a year in child support and alimony. Nantz acknowledged dating a 29-year-old woman before the divorce was final, although the judge concluded the marriage deteriorated years earlier and "this remote event in no way contributed to the breakdown of the marriage." Nantz was said to earn $7 million in 2009.[21]

On June 9, 2012, Nantz married Courtney Richards in a ceremony at the Pebble Beach Golf Links in Pebble Beach, California,[22] specifically at the tee of the course's famed seventh hole.[23] Nantz and his wife have a daughter born in 2014 and a son born in 2016.[24][25]

Nantz and his family live in a home overlooking the Pebble Beach Links that he bought in October 2011.[26] The home's most notable feature is a 50%-scale replica of the seventh hole at Pebble Beach, located in the backyard. The backyard hole is a popular spot for visiting golfers, sports luminaries, and other celebrities. Visitors who make a hole-in-one have their names inscribed on a rock that stands next to the tee box.[27]

Winemaking[edit]

Cabernet Sauvignon from the Alexander Valley produced for Nantz's The Calling label.

In 2009, Nantz partnered with wine producer Peter Deutsch to launch a private wine label The Calling with its first vintage released in 2012. The wine's name is in reference to Nantz's calling of the Masters Tournament.[28]
