CBS Sports’ Gary Danielson is experiencing every broadcaster’s worst nightmare

It’s not always fun and games in the broadcast booth.

Analysts rely heavily on their voices to make a living, and sometimes they have to battle through an illness for a crucial game. As the saying goes, “The show must go on.”

CBS analyst Gary Danielson sounded like he was battling some sort of an illness with a sore throat when Tennessee squared off with Alabama. To his credit, he pushed through and did his best to deliver a solid performance.

Hopefully Gary feels better quickly, but fans definitely noticed the difference in his voice during the game:

Man I hate this for Gary Danielson. Every broadcaster's worst nightmare. Get that man some more lozenges!
