I love the Heisman Trophy Presentation special

I really enjoy ESPN's coverage of the Heisman Trophy Presentation ceremony. The pageantry, the legends of college football gathered to welcome a new member into their exclusive fraternity, the best players in the land gathered nervously for thier sport's highest individual honor. It's these latter personalities that feel worst for, with the players having to sit through profiles and interviews up until the big moment.

But more from my broadcasting background, I like the writing, flow of the show and the production quality of ESPN's coverage every year. They do a fantastic job. I like the packaged stories that really let us viewers get to understand the people behind the helmets and the sacrifices and often unbelievable stories of survival that many had to endure just to get to NYC.

ESPN graicously paused on the shot of Reggie Bush accepting his award just long enough to show USC alums Mike Garrett and Charles White offer their extra-special congratulations to their fellow Trojan and new Heisman brother. This year's production was especially impressive this year with only three finalists and all that time to fill.

Great job this year - bravo, ESPN.
