He seemed very resolved about starting Kevin Kolb against Jacksonville,” said NFL on FOX analyst Brian Billick. “It seems like these conversations should have gone on within the Eagles organization before Reid said anything publicly about starting Kolb and Vick. Vick’s a dynamic player and it looks like he’s able to operate within the pocket now, but I’m a little surprised Andy Reid made the choice to go with him this week.” BILLICK: FALCONS HAVE LEGIT SHOT TO UPSET SUPER BOWL CHAMP THIS WEEKEND -- “Atlanta is coming off a really solid performance against Arizona where they found that they have a great one-two punch with Michael Turner and Jason Snelling,” said NFL on FOX analyst Brian Billick. “Drew Brees continues to play at a high level each and every week so it’s important that Atlanta protect the ball and avoid turnovers. If they can do that, we’re going to have an exciting game in New Orleans and the Falcons will have a shot to pull off the upset over the Saints.” -- FOX SPORTS -- .

  • 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.
