Sports Emmys: Emrick named best play-by-play; NBC leads with six Emmys

On the road today. Will have a more detailed account on last night’s Sports Emmys later.

For the results, here is the report from Variety.

A highlight of the evening was Mike Emrick winning for best play-by-play. A few years ago, it would have been unthinkable for a hockey announcer to win this award. Not anymore.

While “Doc” would cringe at this comparison, he truly has become the Vin Scully of his sport.

The best line of the evening came from Cris Collinsworth, who won for best analyst. Collinsworth noted the multiple Emmys won by Hard Knocks for their series on the Cincinnati Bengals.

“I want to thank Hard Knocks for one of the greatest nights in Bengals history,” said the former Bengal.
