Rick joined in an NFL Network conference call with Scott Hansen back at the start of the football season.

Are you a fan of Red Zone on Sundays?

Scott brings you live football coverage for 7 hours straight, changing the way you watch football.

Every touchdown from every game, every Sunday afternoon during the NFL regular season.

When a team reaches the 20-yard line, (i.e. the “red zone”) NFL RedZone cuts to the local broadcast of that game. NFL RedZone also takes fans back to watch any turnovers, game-changing plays and scoring plays outside of the designated red zone, so they can see all the incredible action Sunday afternoon games have to offer.

NFL RedZone can show up to 8 games at a time, using the NFL RedZone Octobox screen, making it the perfect Fantasy football companion – NFL fans can follow all the action and improve their fantasy football roster. Join host Scott Hanson for live coverage of all the best NFL action from across the country.

Rick is joined this episode by Scott Hansen, host of the popular NFL RedZone channel each Sunday.

Hansen was in Atlanta for Super Bowl week in Atlanta, hosting the NFL’s 1st and Future event. This is an annual “Shark Tank” like competition where football ideas are brought before a panel of judges and could become an actual product the NFL could use.

In 1993 Hanson landed his first job as an anchor and reporter for NBC affiliate WPBN-TV in Traverse City, Michigan. He then moved to Springfield, Illinois in 1994, sticking with NBC to be a reporter for WICS-TV. Next, Hanson headed south to ABC affiliate WFTS-TV in Tampa, Florida, where he covered the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rise under coach Tony Dungy.

Scott then did a two-year stint in 2000 with Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia, where he served as an anchor on SportsNite as well as intermission reporter for the Philadelphia Flyers. In 2002, Hanson moved to sister network Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic in Bethesda, Maryland, where he served as a main anchor and reporter. There, Hanson was reunited with his former WFTS-TV colleague Sage Steele, who joined CSN Mid-Atlantic a year earlier (2001).

In 2006, Hanson left CSN Mid-Atlantic to join the NFL Network, where he serves as a reporter, anchor, and host.

As of 2009, Hanson is a National Correspondent and host of NFL Network’s show, NFL RedZone which debuted in Fall of 2009. On Sundays he presents NFL coverage live and on Mondays hosts Up to the Minute looking at NFL games from the previous week along with a preview of the Monday Night Football matchup. In addition, Hanson also co-anchors NFL Total Access during the week.

Scott talks about the competition he just hosted, his love of tech and the RedZone.
