In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple Double") are back in studio with special guest Harry Ruiz who is the Spanish voice of Trojans as well as the Las Vegas Raiders. We chat with Ruiz about his journey to become USC's Spanish play by play announcer, what some of his most memorable moments have been and his favorite calls from the booth. We also solicited questions from The Peristyle (the USCFootball.com message board) that we share with Ruiz at the end of the interview. Following the interview both Ryan and Connor will give their thoughts on USC hiring Trumain Carroll from Kansas State to be the new director of football sports performance, replacing Bennie Wylie. Carroll was well liked in Manhattan by the Wildcats staff and fans and could be a big boost for the Trojan football team going forward. The guys also discuss all of the news and notes around USC football recruiting including commitments from Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei four-star linebacker Shaun Scott and San Bernardino (Calif.) Cajon three-star linebacker Taylor Johnson. They also talk about a bold prediction from Chip Patterson on CBS's Cover 3 podcast where he foresaw the 2025 USC Trojans getting over the hump and making the College Football Playoffs for the very first time.

Super Bowl 59 features a rematch between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. Miguel Gurwitz will be calling the Super Bowl on Telemundo. It's his first time calling a Super Bowl, but he has been a play-by-play for many sports over many years. Gurwitz was named Thursday Night Football en Español's play-by-play announcer in August 2022. He has been the play-by-play announcer for The Open Championship from 2017 to 2022, has covered the FIFA World Cup (1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2018), Summer Olympics (2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020), the Winter Olympics (2002 and 2006), Super Bowl (2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022), MLB World Series (2018), Copa América (2004, 2007 and 2011), five Copa de Oro tournaments, the FIFA Confederations Cup, the Indy Light series, NASCAR, the Kentucky Derby, Belmont Stakes, pre-Olympic qualifying tournaments, and the Goodwill Games, among others. Before joining NBC Telemundo, Gurwitz spent more than 18 years at Televisa Deportes, where he served as host and analyst for a wide variety of programs and was the correspondent and commentator for coverage of the Mexican National Team for 15 years. In this episode, Gurwitz talks about his long journey in sports broadcasting and all the sports he calls. He tells his unique reason for starting his broadcasting career. He also previewed the Super Bowl matchup between Philadelphia and Kansas City.
On Sunday, January 26, 2025, the Philadelphia Eagles clinched their 3rd Super Bowl since 2017 with a 55-23 victory over the Washington Commanders. The Eagles will play the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59 on February 9th. Merrill Reese has been the play-by-play voice of the Philadelphia Eagles since 1977. Earlier this season he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame by winning the Pete Rozelle Radio-TV Award. He is synonymous with the Eagles and discussed the incredible run by this 2024-2025 Eagles team. In this episode, Reese explained how this season differs from the two recent Super Bowl teams. He also explained how he gets as excited now for Eagles' games as he did in 1977. He discussed the incredible job General Manager Howie Roseman did in putting this roster together. He focused on the acquisition of running back Saquon Barkley. Reese also discussed coach Nick Sirianni and quarterback Jalen Hurts. Finally, he sized up the matchup between Philadelphia and Kansas City, who are aiming to “three-peat” as Super Bowl champions.
This episode is a continuation from a conversation that took place on the Hall of Justice podcast episode 395. In that episode, Ken Levine detailed his illustrious TV writing career that included writing for MASH, Cheers, Frasier, the Simpsons, and countless others. In that episode, there was no discussion of what this episode is about. While he was writing Cheers and Frasier, Ken Levine was ALSO a Major League Baseball play-by-play announcer. Levine called games for the Baltimore Orioles, Seattle Mariners, and San Diego Padres. In this episode recounts in great detail how this successful television writer began calling games into a tape recorder at Dodgers Stadium. That activity morphed into a couple of minor league gigs, which in turn became opportunities in the big leagues. While the entire story is fascinating, this podcast also contains amazing stories about Ken Griffey Jr., Tony Gwynn, and Cal Ripken, Jr. Still, the best stories involve Tom Hanks and Ted Danson, who played former Red Sox pitcher Sam Malone on Cheers.
