For those unfamiliar:

Producers are in our ear all game guiding content, coordinating production throughout the week, curating the replays you see, working in concert with graphics and director plus a hundred other things. A great one is EVERYTHING.

Well done, Nicole Baxter! Milestone occasion!

First former league player to produce the domestic broadcast for an @nwslsoccer.com match on NWSL+ and @paramountplus.com.

Tonight’s producer (and analyst McCall Zerboni) matriculating from the league’s offseason broadcast boot camp.

Congrats Bax! Handled 5 goals and a lightning delay like a pro!

#USOC2025 may be over, but stay tuned for #USL-C action.

@sacrepublicfc.com can book its place in the postseason with a win tonight. Orange County SC will jump above the playoff line with victory on the road.

@mikewattsonair.bsky.social and Devon Kerr have the call on CBS Sports Network.

The @orlpride.com have *17,000* tickets out for tonight’s showdown with @nccourage.com.

Huge game for both, one of the best in @nwslsoccer.com this weekend.

Also it’s 90’s Night, which is a dangerous game to play when I’m next to a mic.

Prime Video at 8pm ET with Lori Lindsey.

The best part about Jill Loyden as a partner on air is that her highest aspiration is being an evangelist for the sport — teaching the sport is what brings her professional joy. And it’s so evident here.

Gotham and Wave kicks off monster @nwslsoccer.com weekend on Prime Video.

From New York City to Gainesville to California and back to Florida in 48 hours — just 13 hours in sunny San Diego, wonder if we have time to stop at the beach pregame? 🤔

With Jill Loyden & Britney Eurton at 7pm PT/10pmET.
