Jim Nantz Admits To Odd Hot Dog Eating Habit During NFL Games

HISTORICAL ARCHIVE, MINIMUM USAGE FEE APPLIES;
In a recent profile with Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times, Nantz described some of his mannerisms, which include eating popcorn during games, despite the fact that it's the type of food that could get caught in your throat and "put you in the blue tent for a couple of calls.” He then broke down his tradition of eating a hot dog at halftime of every NFL game he broadcasts...
quote:(The Spun)
Nantz eats a hot dog at halftime, too, but only devours those during the NFL season. He doesn’t have time to fiddle around with those little packets of ketchup so he travels with his own bottle. He bends at the waist when he’s eating as not to drip ketchup on his clothing.
By his count, he eats 22 hot dogs per year — matching the number of games he calls — but it’s actually fewer than that because he always tosses the last bite.
“Makes me feel like I didn’t eat the whole thing,” he said.
