Unfortunately, I had a family emergency Monday morning and never made it to New York for the Sports Emmy Awards. Too bad, because I was looking forward to seeing everybody.

Anyway, here are some of the highlights. Fang’s Bites has the complete list.

Outstanding Live Sports Series — Sunday Night Football (four straight for producer Fred Gaudelli and the gang).

Outstanding Sports Personality – Studio Host, Bob Costas (23rd; requires a separate wing).
