To announce a title-clinching game for the team with which you're partnered, on-the-air live and painting word-pictures of the glorious moment, is a dream come true.

In this newest edition of the VYPE Summer Series presented by Xfinity, Roger Smith gets Marc to talk about some of the great talents he's seen perform, what it's like to announce in the NFL, and even some of his announcing jobs before he got to "The U."
