The practical result of his direction during a game was to speed up some of the moments without action.

“It was Webby time, which he loved,” Pete Macheska, who produced games at Fox with Webb, said in a phone interview. “In crunchtime, he’d just say he wants faces — tight shots of players and fans praying. You’d try to sell him on something else, like some sort of graphic, but you might as well forget it; you’ve got no shot. It was his ballgame, and he wasn’t listening to you.”

I got so sick of that "anxious fan" shit, so....RIP.
