  • 2020 Eddie and Jared's Sports Packet.Pdf
    2020 Eddie and Jared’s Sports Packet Written by Edward Fuhrer, Jared Carson and with one tossup contributed by Josh Rubel 1. One hockey player from this country who dominated its domestic league in the 1970s and 1980s contract was too expensive to be bought by the New York Islanders, and his son ended up being a 4th round pick in the 2010 NHL Draft to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Another player from this country was the youngest player on Team Europe in the 2016 World Cup of Hockey by almost three years. Other than (*) Tom Kuhnhackl and Tobias ​ Reider, other players from this country include Marcel Goc and Marko Strum, who led this country to a silver medal in the 2018 Winter Olympics. The leading scorer in the 2019-20 NHL season, Leon Draisaitl, was from, for ten points, what country where domestic teams play in cities like Munich and Berlin. ANSWER: Federal Republic of Germany [ACCEPT: West or East Germany, or ​ ​ ​ ​ Bundesrepublik Deutschland] (EF) 2. This trade sent running back Darrin Nelson to the San Diego Chargers, however, he would re-sign with one of the teams in this trade. This trade allowed for one team to draft wide receiver Jake Reed, who would put up a total of almost seven thousand total yards and 36 touchdowns. This trade saw a total of 18 total players being traded, making this an NFL record. As a result of this trade, one team used one of their first-round picks (*) acquired in the trade haul and trade up with the Pittsburgh Steelers to select future Hall of Famer, running back Emmitt Smith, allowing him to kickstart an NFL dynasty in the 1990s.

  • Versatile Fox Sports Broadcaster Kenny Albert Continues to Pair with Biggest Names in Sports
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Erik Arneson, FOX Sports Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016 [email protected] VERSATILE FOX SPORTS BROADCASTER KENNY ALBERT CONTINUES TO PAIR WITH BIGGEST NAMES IN SPORTS Boothmates like Namath, Ewing, Palmer, Leonard ‘Enhance Broadcasts … Make My Job a Lot More Fun’ Teams with Former Cowboy and Longtime Broadcast Partner Daryl ‘Moose’ Johnston and Sideline Reporter Laura Okmin for FOX NFL in 2016 With an ever-growing roster of nearly 250 teammates (complete list below) that includes iconic names like Joe Namath, Patrick Ewing, Jim Palmer, Jeremy Roenick and “Sugar Ray” Leonard, versatile FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert -- the only announcer currently doing play-by-play for all four major U.S. sports (NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL) -- certainly knows the importance of preparation and chemistry. “The most important aspects of my job are definitely research and preparation,” said Albert, a second-generation broadcaster whose long-running career behind the sports microphone started in high school, and as an undergraduate at New York University in the late 1980s, he called NYU basketball games. “When the NFL season begins, it's similar to what coaches go through. If I'm not sleeping, eating or spending time with my family, I'm preparing for that Sunday's game. “And when I first work with a particular analyst, researching their career is definitely a big part of it,” Albert added. “With (Daryl Johnston) ‘Moose,’ for example, there are various anecdotes from his years with the Dallas Cowboys that pertain to our games. When I work local Knicks telecasts with Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier on MSG, a percentage of our viewers were avid fans of Clyde during the Knicks’ championship runs in 1970 and 1973, so we weave some of those stories into the broadcasts.” As the 2016 NFL season gets underway, Albert once again teams with longtime broadcast partner Johnston, with whom he has paired for 10 seasons, sideline reporter Laura Okmin and producer Barry Landis.

    BOSTON BRUINS QUOTES Pregame Wednesday, August 26, 2020 BOSTON BRUINS HEAD COACH BRUCE CASSIDY On his goalie for game 3… We have a couple game time – certainly one game time decision up front. Halak is scheduled to start. He did not skate on the ice today so he’s recovered well. That’s the plan. And then, like I said, we’ll have a game-time decision. We may have to dress seven D tonight, take a forward out. We’ve kind of contemplated that going into the back-to-back – on the second night of the back-to-back, that’s something we’re mulling over. We’ll make a decision by game time. On the thought process of using of seven D… Back-to-back game, some guys it’s a heavier workload. You’re playing McAvoy upward of 25 minutes. Just go give – we have some smaller guys that it’s been a physical series for them. So, save a little wear and tear, put some fresh legs in there. The disadvantage of seven D is finding your rhythm as a defenseman. The second part of that is obviously up front, what if we get an injury to a forward? Now you’re really down to 10, so there can be some risk involved in the playoffs, especially considering the tight games we’ve been in like overtimes. That’s where we have to be careful.
