  • 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.

COUNTRYMAN University of Michigan This article traces the origins of black independent electoral activism in Philadelphia during the 1970s to the Black Power movement of the 1960s. Specifically, it argues that Black Power activists in Philadelphia turned to electoral strategies to consolidate their efforts to achieve community control over public insti- tutions in the city’s black working-class neighborhoods. Finally, the article concludes with a brief evalu- ation of the careers of African American activist state legislators David Richardson and Roxanne Jones and W. Wilson Goode, Philadelphia’s first African American mayor. Keywords: Black Power; community control; independent politics; Democratic Party The political philosophy of black nationalism means that the black man should control the politics and politicians in his own community.

    Chapter 1 A Red Wagon in a Field of Snow n the morning of December 11, 2008, a New York real estate developer on a JetBlue fl ight from New York to Los Angeles O was watching CNBC on the small seat - back television. A crawl across the bottom of the screen reported that Bernard Madoff, a legen- dary Wall Street fi gure and the former chairman of NASDAQ had been arrested for running the largest Ponzi scheme in history. The developer sat silently for several seconds, absorbing that news. No, that couldn ’ t be right , he thought, but the message streamed across the screen again. Turn- ing to his wife, he said that he knew that she wasn ’ t going to believe what he was about to tell her, but apparently Bernie Madoff was a crook and the millions of dollars that they had invested with him were lost. He was right — she didn ’ t believe him. Instead, she waved off the thought. “ That ’ s not possible, ” she said, and returned to the magazine she was reading. The stunned developer stood up and walked to the rear of the plane, where the fl COPYRIGHTEDight attendants had gathered MATERIALin the galley. “ Excuse me,” he said politely, “ but I ’ m going to be leaving now. So would you please open the door for me? And don ’ t worry — I won ’ t need a parachute. ” ■ ■ ■ At about 5:15 that December afternoon, I was at the local dojo in my small New England town watching my fi ve - year - old twin boys trying to master the basic movements of karate.

Polls close at 8:00pm EDT. The 2008 Pennsylvania Primary Not since 1976 have Pennsylvania voters had such a decisive say in who would be a presidential nominee. "Pennsylvanians don't often get a chance to matter in presidential primaries, and this year they have the opportunity to play a key role in one of the best political dramas in a generation," said Chris Borick, a politics professor at Muhlenberg College. "They're seizing that opportunity." 1 Clinton is favored to win the state. But with the contest so tight, both candidates are looking to build their vote totals toward a final victory. Obama leads Clinton in overall delegates, but neither is close to achieving the 2,025 needed to win the nomination. Obama also has a thin lead in the popular vote that Clinton would like to overturn before the final ballots are cast in June.2 A strong showing in Pennsylvania for Obama, if not a victory, would keep his accumulated lead in delegates and in the popular vote more or less intact.

    Ralph Nader Washington DC 20036 Tuesday, October 3, 2017 Robert D. Manfred Jr. Commissioner Joe Torre Chief Baseball Officer Major League Baseball 245 Park Avenue, 31st Floor New York, NY 10167 Phone: 212-931-7800 Fax: 212-949-5654. Dear Mr. Manfred and Mr. Torre: Growing up in Connecticut, I’d listen with pleasure to Mel Allen’s broadcasts of the New York Yankee games. The few commercials were reserved for the commercial breaks – between half innings. Now, the commercials are increasingly taking over the game broadcast. Six years ago, I wrote to the New York Yankees about the proliferation of in- game ads during New York Yankees radio broadcasts. In-game ads are those during a game broadcast. At that time, we came up with 22 in game ads during one game in 2012. The Yankees did not respond to my letter. Now, things have gotten worse. This year, we had an associate listen to one game – the Baltimore Orioles and the New York Yankees on May 31, 2017. This time, he counted 46 in-game ads during the game broadcast. And these do not include the 21 in-game ads during the pre-game show and the 15 in-game ads during the post-game show – for a total of 82 in-game ads. (See listing below.) And the 82 in-game ads do not include the scores of ads between innings or during the commercial breaks pre-game and post game. Between innings and during the commercial breaks is where ads belong – not during the game or during pre-game and post-game commentary.
