the goal line and touchdown, los angeles! i've always approached play-by-play as a craft and as a very particular skill set that, quite honestly, not a lot of people want to do. it's a small fraternity and sorority that you really-- you know, i think of that 10,000-hour rule. you really have to put a lot of time in from a very young age. you really have to want it. quite often, it entails going out to small town, u.s.a., and getting a lot of reps, and sort of moving up, you know, steps of the ladder. and so it's an industry, i think, where you have to have a lot of patience, and you have to have a lot of confidence. and, quite honestly, you can't really have a fallback position. you know, when i was making $19,000 a year living in a, you know, aifre wasomething else i wanted to do, i probably would have gone and done it. >> ninan: is it difficult that there's so much attention placed that you're a woman? >> i have come to embrace it a

exercises "to, do, for, pop, boy," before i go on the air. things like that. it is what it is. and i tell people if you haven't heard a woman calling sports before, give it a quarter, give it a half, and listen to the language, and listen to the call, as best you can, and not be distracted by who it is that's doing the talking. >> ninan: woman viewership nke up 45% of the s.f they'll continue to focus on attracting more women to the game. well, when we return, mumford & sons rock new york city with a concert benefiting a cause close to their hearts.
