Steve Overmyer: The Stories Behind the Scoreboard

What does it feel like to be standing on the field when Dan Marino hits a touchdown pass in front of 80,000 screaming fans — and think the whole stadium is cheering for you? That's the kind of moment that turns a young broadcaster into a lifer.
Steve Overmyer has spent decades telling sports stories at the highest levels — from CNN to CBS News New York — and in Part 2 of our conversation, he breaks down what makes sports the last great unifier in a divided culture, why the best broadcasters learn to get out of the story's way, and what a dancing crossing guard has to do with the most important lesson in journalism.
Plus: Patriots fans in New Jersey, Buffalo Bills loyalists who don't think the Jets count as New York, and the moment Steve accidentally became part of a college football game.
