Happy Birthday Samantha Steele! Today we celebrate the one commentator who manages to hold her own against quarterbacks, coaches, cameras—and yes—even teleprompters. Your insightful commentary and quick wit have illuminated countless broadcasts from ESPN's College GameDay to sideline reporting on some of sports' biggest stages.Whether gracefully handling post-game chaos or expertly blending humor with your spot-on observations about football tactics, you've set a high bar (we won’t call it field goal). May this year bring you even more opportunities for hilarious banter with coaches and many interviews that forego awkward silences—in short: fewer fumbles than ever before!
