杰森·贝内蒂和杰森·加勒特在圣母大学对阵波士顿学院的转播中缅怀了希克斯。眼前的解说任务已有着落;NBC 的长期安排仍不明朗。

杰森·贝内蒂可以接替现场解说席。他和杰森·加勒特没能让这个星期六变得寻常。在 NBC 11 月 14 日播出的圣母大学对阵波士顿学院比赛中,两人用了几分钟缅怀同事丹·希克斯。原本预计由希克斯解说这场比赛,但他几天前去世,享年 64 岁。USA TODAY 对这场转播的报道描述了一场照常进行的橄榄球赛事,同时也为缺席的人留出了空间。⁠26

11 月 13 日,HeyDay News 报道了希克斯去世的消息,并指出他仍在原定解说这场比赛。当时,我们的报道尚未确定谁会接替他,也未说明转播将如何向他致意。星期六,这些问题有了答案:贝内蒂与评论员加勒特搭档担任现场解说,而他们的缅怀也成为转播内容的一部分。⁠26

这是一个具体进展,但范围有限。转播这场比赛并不等于继承希克斯在 NBC 的位置。现有报道并未确认谁将永久接手他负责的圣母大学赛事、高尔夫或奥运会报道。⁠26⁠30

圣母大学官方赛事信息将波士顿学院客场挑战圣母大学体育场的比赛安排在美国东部时间下午 3:30 开始,并注明由 NBC 和 Peacock 转播。NBC 11 月 11 日的赛前预告确认了这一安排。比赛照常举行;转播团队则不得不作出调整。⁠34⁠31

横跨迥异体育项目的声音

希克斯之所以难以替代,首先在于他工作的广度。自 2000 年起,他负责 NBC 的 PGA 巡回赛报道,解说圣母大学橄榄球比赛,也参与奥运会游泳和滑雪赛事报道。他并非只专注于某一类赛事、其缺席只会在赛季某一阶段显现的播音员。观众在高尔夫球场、游泳池边和滑雪坡上,都能听到同一个熟悉的声音。⁠1⁠2

自 1992 年起,希克斯为 NBC 报道过 16 届奥运会。这是他参与报道的届数,并非仅担任主持人的届数。他最广为人知的时刻之一,是在 2008 年北京奥运会上解说迈克尔·菲尔普斯赢得第八枚金牌——这一表现让那些可能从未收看过他高尔夫转播的观众也熟悉了他的声音。⁠1

迈克·蒂里科在 11 月 13 日 TODAY 节目中的悼念,用直白的话道出了这种跨领域能力的价值。成就不仅仅是接连获派报道重大赛事,更在于为每场赛事找到恰如其分的解说方式。⁠1

他有更多重大时刻要解说,而且每一个都拿捏得恰到好处。你想不出有什么时刻丹没有用恰当的解说、恰当的激情和恰当的话语来呈现。

迈克·蒂里科 1

对一名播音员来说,这是一种要求很高的赞誉。伟大的体育时刻本身就充满戏剧性;播音员的任务是捕捉它,同时不妨碍它。蒂里科回忆说,希克斯能一再胜任这一要求,在节奏各异、受众不同的体育项目中都是如此。

泰格·伍兹提供了另一个视角:一位曾由希克斯解说其成就的运动员。在 Golfweek 于 11 月 13 日报道的一篇悼念中,伍兹称他是“我在球场内外都非常要好的朋友”。Golfweek 报道称,希克斯曾解说伍兹 27 场赛事胜利。这仍是报道所列的职业生涯统计,并非经过逐场重新核实的数字;伍兹致意的核心是两人的友谊。⁠25

PGA 巡回赛同样追忆了希克斯的声音在观众客厅中的熟悉感——他为 NBC 负责高尔夫赛事报道超过 25 年。NBC 自己的声明则不只谈到他的解说,还描述了一位会以微笑、玩笑或鼓励欢迎队友的同事。在这些追忆中,公众熟悉的声音与私下的善意并非彼此割裂的主题。同事们一再将两者联系在一起。⁠1

麦克风之外的失落

吉米·罗伯茨道出了所有这些悼念无法改变的痛苦事实。“我只是难过,他没能在这里听到大家对他说这些好话,因为他值得这些赞美,”他在 TODAY 的追忆节目中说。这与其说是对职业生涯的评价,不如说是一位同事在表达哀伤。⁠1

正如我们在 11 月 13 日报道的那样,希克斯于 11 月 11 日星期三深夜在康涅狄格州去世;他的家人和 NBC 于次日公布了他的死讯。他的妻子、ESPN 播音员汉娜·斯托姆描述了事情经过,但没有给出具体的医学诊断:“丹因急性疾病突然且意外离世,我们全家悲痛欲绝。”⁠13⁠1

斯托姆追忆他是一位忠诚的丈夫,两人相伴 30 多年;他也是一位慈爱的父亲和珍爱的朋友。他的妻子和女儿汉娜、埃勒里、莱莉将继续生活。家人所说的急性疾病不应被扩展为他们并未公布的诊断。现有材料尚未确认更精确的死亡地点或时间,也未确认经家人授权公布的追悼安排。⁠1

有关职业生涯年限的统计也仍未厘清。NBC 的声明称希克斯任职 34 年;我们此前的报道提到,另一种说法称其任职 35 年,后续材料并未解释这一差异。奥运会总数也没有说明他具体主持过多少届奥运会。无需把这些不确定之处硬说成精确数字,也能体现他职业生涯的规模。⁠1

星期六的转播回答了眼前的实际问题,也传达了更有人情味的一点:比赛可以继续,但不能把希克斯的缺席当作寻常之事。贝内蒂接下了解说任务,他和加勒特也抽出时间缅怀这位同事。NBC 播报团队接下来如何安排,仍是另一个问题。那天下午发生的是一场赛事转播和一次告别,而不是某位播音员已经永久填补了另一位播音员涉猎广泛的岗位的证据。⁠26

播出原貌
  1. Jason Benetti filled Dan Hicks's football assignment and joined Jason Garrett in remembering him on air.
  2. Hicks died at 64, leaving NBC without a familiar voice across football, golf and the Olympics. On November 13, we reported he was still scheduled to call the game. Who will take on his broadcasting responsibilities over the longer term?
  3. Benetti called Notre Dame's game against Boston College on November 14, with Garrett as analyst. Hicks had been expected to handle play-by-play. The game was scheduled for three-thirty Eastern at Notre Dame Stadium, with coverage on NBC and Peacock.
  4. Benetti and Garrett devoted several minutes of the broadcast to remembering Hicks. They made room for their colleague within the football coverage, as the game he had been scheduled to call went ahead.
  5. That assignment covered one afternoon in a career that crossed sports. Hicks led NBC's PGA Tour coverage beginning in 2000, called Notre Dame football and worked Olympic swimming and skiing. Viewers knew the same voice in very different sporting moments.
  6. Mike Tirico remembered Hicks's ability to meet those moments in a November 13 tribute. He said, “He had more big moments on his plate and nailed every big moment.” Tirico praised the way Hicks found the right call, energy and words.
  7. NBC Sports, the PGA Tour and Notre Dame Athletics also paid tribute. NBC praised his storytelling and his encouragement of teammates. The PGA Tour remembered a voice that had filled viewers' living rooms through more than 25 years leading its NBC coverage.
  8. Tiger Woods remembered Hicks as “a great friend to me both on and off the course.” Hicks reportedly called 27 of Woods's tournament victories. Woods's remembrance, shared on November 13, spoke to their friendship beyond those televised wins.
  9. Subscribe to this channel as we follow NBC's next decisions and further remembrances of Dan Hicks.
  10. Hicks covered 16 Olympics for NBC, dating back to 1992. That total spans his work across the Games. NBC Sports counts 34 years at the network, where his assignments took him from swimming pools to ski slopes and golf courses.
  11. Michael Phelps won his eighth gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics with Hicks calling the moment. It was one of the performances that carried his voice far beyond golf audiences. Swimming and skiing were both part of his Olympic work.
  12. His colleagues also remembered what happened away from the biggest calls. NBC described someone who welcomed teammates with a smile, a joke or encouragement. The tributes connected the broadcaster viewers heard with the person his co-workers knew.
  13. Jimmy Roberts spoke about the loss of his colleague in personal terms. He said, “I'm just sad that he's not here to hear all these folks saying kind things about him because he deserves it.”
  14. Hicks died late Wednesday, November 11, in Connecticut. His family and NBC announced his death the following day. His wife, ESPN broadcaster Hannah Storm, described his passing as sudden and unexpected, following an acute illness.
  15. Storm said, “Our family is heartbroken by the sudden and unexpected passing of Dan following an acute illness.” She remembered a devoted husband of more than 30 years, a loving father and a cherished friend.
  16. Storm and their daughters, Hannah, Ellery and Riley, survive him. The family hasn't shared a more specific medical diagnosis. Any family-authorized public memorial arrangements are still unclear.
  17. Benetti's November 14 appearance filled the immediate football assignment. NBC's longer-term plans for Hicks's Notre Dame, golf and Olympic responsibilities aren't yet clear.
