ROSENTHAL: BRAUN LOOKING BETTER THAN EVER – Following the uproar over his positive test for elevated levels of testosterone — and successful appeal; many wondered how 2011 NL MVP Ryan Braun would respond in 2012. As MLB on FOX & FOXSports.com insider Ken Rosenthal notes; “it’s as if nothing changed. Braun, 28, is almost exactly the player he was a year ago at this time,” Rosenthal writes. “The uproar over his positive test for elevated levels of testosterone — and successful appeal and avoidance of a 50-game suspension — long has subsided. Check his stats: Braun’s 20 homers, 52 RBI and .596 slugging percentage (as of 6/26) surpass his numbers in those categories after the same amount of games last season, when he was voted National League MVP.” To read more on Braun’s 2012 from Rosenthal, click here: http://on-msn.com/MX6Ig9 MCCARVER CHANNELS HIS INNER BRYCE HARPER IN ALL-STAR GAME PROMOS SHOT AT MLB FAN CAVE – Last week, MLB All-Star broadcasters Joe Buck & Tim McCarver paid a visit to the MLB Fan Cave in downtown New York City where they signed autographs, met with the Cave Dwellers and recorded a few promotional spots for the 2012 MLB All-Star Game.

JOE BUCK CENTERSTAGE PREMIERES ON YES NETWORK TOMORROW NIGHT – MLB ON FOX lead play-by-play announcer Joe Buck is Michael Kay’s guest on an all-new CenterStage premiering Thursday, June 28 at 11:00 PM ET on YES NETWORK. Among the highlights is Buck on why the All- Star Game is his hardest to broadcast and opening up on the death of his father, legendary Cardinals announcer Jack Buck. -more- FOX Sports NQ&A – Page 3 Buck’s opinion on the new one-game playoff in Major League Baseball: “I don't know. I want to see it play out once before I have a real firm opinion on it…I do like sweetening the pot at the end of the year and opening the door for another team…I think it’s good to add a team…If you can replicate what happened at the end of last season—… where it’s play-in’s all over the place and this crazy day of baseball, then I’m all for it, because that's when baseball is great.” Buck on why the All-Star game is the hardest game to call: “I love the All-Star Game. It is—by far—the hardest game to do during the course of the year. If you are doing a World Series Game Seven, you think “Oh, that’s gonna be the most intense, the hardest one to do.” That’s the easiest one to do…Because it does itself; you just kinda get out of the way. In an All-Star Game, whoever is at the plate has got a story why they are there [and] whoever is on the mound has got a story why they are there, so it gets a little hectic. [Also] it’s more of a TV show really a game. But it’s fun because it is a celebration of the sport that we love and to be there in Kansas City this year will be a blast.” DAVIS: FOUR ISN’T RIGHT NUMBER FOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF – As plans for a four- team college football playoff move forward beginning with the 2014 season, FOX College Football analyst Charles Davis says the controversy of which teams play for the national championship is only beginning. "If you thought we had discussions and controversies on who the top teams were before, wait until we try to figure out who the top four are. I don't think four is the right number. To me it's 16," said Davis. "We don't even have a committee yet and I'm already hearing people scream there’s going to be bias. The make-up of the committee will be interesting. Should it be coaches? Administrators? Media? That's going to be a major deal. Everyone brings biases to the table. They need to try to balance the group so that the bias gets balanced naturally." UFC MIDDLEWEIGHT CONTENDER SONNEN MOTIVATED CURRENT CHAMP SILVA TO DESTROY HIM, SAYS “UFC TONIGHT’S” FLORIAN – The trash-talking feud between UFC Middleweight No. 1 contender Chael Sonnen and Current Champion Anderson Silva took a surprising turn this week with Silva firing back at Sonnen for the first time in his career. FUEL TV’s “UFC Tonight” Analyst Kenny Florian says Silva’s reaction to Sonnen could have different results: “Either it’s going to fire Silva up and it’s going to motivate him to train hard and destroy Sonnen, or it is going to distract him too much and take him away from his game plan. Then Chael will have accomplished what he wanted.” FUEL TV airs a preview of the upcoming UFC Middleweight Championship rematch, “UFC Primetime: Silva vs.

  • 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.
