Did you see the game? Then you probably heard Dick Stockton . The man who has called more major U.S. pro sports games for television than anyone in history announced his retirement today after 55 years in the business. Stockton, 78, began his career at CBS in the late 1960s and spent 17 years at the network. He also covered the NBA and Major League Baseball playoffs for Turner Sports for nearly two decades and had been working at Fox Sports since 1994. The latter said he covered at least 1,545 network TV games across the big four U.S. professional sports leagues: NFL , NBA, MLB and NHL. “Working alongside former players and coaches, many of whom are still in the Fox rotation, has been a particular joy,” Stockton said in announcing the move. “But I feel there is a time to call it a day and allow the many younger broadcasters the chance to develop their careers, just as I had the opportunity years ago.

‘Do Not Split’ Director Anders Hammer On Capturing Hong Kong’s Pro-Democracy Revolt, And China’s Response To Oscar Nod
For his Oscar-nominated short documentary Do Not Split , director Anders Hammer spent seven months in Hong Kong’s streets, capturing the drama and chaos as China cracked down on pro-democracy protests. The work came with inherent danger. “The risk I was facing was basically being hit by random rubber bullets and teargas canisters flying through the air and also these firebombs that went here and there,” Hammer tells Deadline. “I was also hit by some rubber bullets…I broke my nose. That was the worst that happened to me, and that hurt, but it wasn’t a big problem.” The Norwegian filmmaker minimizes the potential consequences he faced compared to those for demonstrators. “The protestors risked up to life in prison, and also the risk of really being brutally handled by police, which a lot were,” he notes. “It was really sad to see this violence being played out. The police became more and more aggressive.” Related Story China Orders Media To Downplay Oscars … [Read more...] about ‘Do Not Split’ Director Anders Hammer On Capturing Hong Kong’s Pro-Democracy Revolt, And China’s Response To Oscar Nod
