Last night I had the opportunity to “work” for ESPN at the Monday Night Football game between the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars.

When ESPN comes to town to broadcast Houston Texans’ games they round up some local guys to assist the on the field camera men.  Through one of those ‘friend of a friend of a friend’ deals, I am fortunate enough to be one of the guys they call.

The work is quite easy.  Just follow a camera guy around on the sideline and make sure he has enough cable to get the shots that he needs.

The experience is quite amazing.  Watch players and coaches arrive at the stadium.  Roam the field and get shots of players as they warm-up during pregame.  Rub shoulders with VIPs on the sideline.  Get a behind the scenes look at some of what goes into a NFL broadcast.  And watch the game from the best seat in the house.

Here are a few pics I snapped from the field.  Not the best pics, but these were undercover iPhone pics since we weren’t supposed to take pictures from the field.
