Synopsis
In addition to host Bryant Gumbel, the program features a talented lineup of correspondents that includes Bernard Goldberg, Mary Carillo, Armen Keteyian, Frank Deford and James Brown. Deford and Brown started with the series when it originated in 1995. Deford's report on the series' premiere edition ten years ago, entitled "The American Singapore," dealt with the largely unseen side of Augusta, Ga., where The Masters is held every April. Goldberg joined the program in 1999, Carillo in 1997, and Keteyian in 1998. Gumbel, Goldberg and Keteyian have all been honored with Sports Emmy® Awards in the category of Outstanding Sports Journalism for their work on the show.
Debuting in April 1995, REAL SPORTS produced four editions that year. By 1999 the program was airing on a monthly basis and had developed an industry-wide reputation as a must-watch for sports television journalism. The show has been singled out repeatedly for its unparalleled capacity for producing eye-opening and informative TV.
The program has enabled the accomplished Gumbel to delve into subjects that are rarely explored in the fast-paced world of broadcast television. Stories he has reported on include: a look back at the pioneering all-black Texas Western basketball team of 1966 that won the national championship; traveling overseas to examine the proliferation of counterfeit golf clubs; a profile of imprisoned former baseball great Denny McLain; the controversy sparked by Martha Burke over The Masters' club policy against female members; a startling look at the supersizing of NFL linemen as players pack on weight to compete and take health risks; a look back at the unforgettable Kermit Washington-Rudy Tomjanovich NBA incident and the impact it had on both men's lives; and the seemingly surreal but true story of Georgia high school football player Marcus Dixon, who was sent to prison for all the wrong reasons and has - since the presentation of the HBO report - won back his freedom and started a new life.
