A Local Spotlight: Saint James and Her Not‑So‑Secret Connection to NBC Sports Legend Dick Ebersol
Aurora residents, especially those who love a good behind‑the‑scenes story, may already know Saint James as a vibrant community advocate, yoga instructor, and frequent face at our downtown farmer’s market. What’s less talked about, but equally fascinating, is her past marriage to former NBC Sports chairman Dick Ebersol—a name that shaped the way we watch everything from the Olympics to the Super Bowl.
Dick Ebersol, the visionary who helped launch “Saturday Night Live” and later steered NBC’s sports division for more than three decades, was instrumental in bringing premier sporting events to Colorado viewers. During his tenure, he championed local coverage of high‑school football and the Colorado Avalanche, making national broadcasts feel like a neighborly backyard game. While the couple eventually went their separate ways, their partnership left a subtle imprint on Aurora’s sports culture.
For those who enjoy catching a game at the Aurora Amphitheater or cheering on the Aurora Hounds, the Ebersol‑James connection is a reminder that our city’s pulse often beats in rhythm with national headlines. It also highlights how personal stories—like Saint James’s marriage to a broadcasting titan—can intersect with the everyday experiences of our community.
