After the game, the NBC Sports broadcast cut to the studio for a few moments, and then post-game host Brodie Brazil kicked it back to the field for Dallas Braden’s post-game interview with Bassitt, all of which is the usual routine. But this time Brazil made an extra note in his introduction of the next segment.
“Bassitt is with Dallas Braden, and I’m told there’s a prop.”
