"Watching the Jim Nantz divorce trial was like seeing a car crash — you just couldn’t look away," Daniel Tepfer writes, adding that "Nantz, the premier sportscaster for CBS television, was embroiled last week in a divorce trial in a small fifth floor Main Street courtroom with his wife of 26 years, Lorrie. And while the rules of civility and Superior Court Judge Howard Owens prevented it from becoming a knockdown, drag-out fight, there have been plenty of moments of drama." Tepfer writes that on the first day of the trial, "the 6-foot, 3-inch, square-jawed Nantz sat down in the makeshift witness stand, an office chair placed on a small wooden platform. . . .The 50-year-old Nantz teared up at times as he described his wife’s foibles that he claims led up to the breakdown of their marriage."
