That makes 48 play by play guys and 62 color commentators. We've only had 46 super bowls. Sounds like some of those guys have been padding their resumes.

Yes, many SBs had more than one color commentator...so the 62 is probably right there....but on the other number, I am not sure. I may have mistyped a number or gotten it wrong...or maybe a guy was counted twice as a color guy and a play by play guy.
Note that Summerall and Gifford appear in both categories. Maybe that has something to do with it.
Edit: Oh. the explanation on the play by play is the fact that the first Super Bowl was broadcast on both NBC and CBS, so you had 2 sets of broadcasters for that game....and I included SB 47 in this list as well. Nantz/Simms

Yes..the game was on both networks and one of them hadn't come back from commercial for the 2nd half kickoff....so they did it again.
