Hollywood — The Arizona Cardinals had made it a runaway against the Green Bay Packers, so there was plenty of down time for chat on the Fox-lot studio set of “Fox NFL Sunday.”
The Jan. 10 wildcard game would ultimately turn into an overtime corker, so shouted exclamations at the unfolding action would gradually begin to punctuate the low-key jocularity that typically fills the minutes between on-air reports.
The afternoon would conclude with the long-running game running up against the East Coast air time for “The Simpsons” 20th anniversary block the network had been promoting since summer — and with David Hill, chairman of Fox Sports, shouting, “You’re killing me!” at the monitors in the executive control room — but as the one-sided blowout turned to a thriller of an Arizona Cardinals victory, the stars of Fox’s football pre- and post-game studio show had plenty of time to talk to a visiting reporter.
