Roddy Jones to ESPN

[cyptomcat]

He will be on one of the announcer crews for ABC/ESPN Saturday games.

Not clear if booth or sideline.

How much would Roddy charge me to punch Steven A Smith hard enough to shut him up?

Given that Brooks will be doing analysis for some Longhorn Network, I suspect it will be Brooks in the booth with Shroff, and Roddy on the sidelines.
Of course, who can get forget Roddy's best call in the booth, his WOO HOO HOO after Gaudin's IT'S INTERCEPTED!

 

[The Jacket]

I think the list he's on is just booth guys. Either way, this is awesome for him.

 

[gthog61]

Good for him, hope this doesn't mean he will become an asshole

 

[Buzz'n]

Don't do it Roddy. It's a sinking pile of ship!

 

[BarrelORum]

Can he replace Pollack?

 

[ElCidBUZZingFAN]

Definitely sideline. Roddy loves strolling up and down the sideline.

I will donate to the cause.

Good for Roddy. They need some good people to balance out the Pollacks of the network.

Just remind Screamin A he once got fired from the High Point (NC) Enterprise, IIRC.

Other ESPN-ACC media related tidbit - I think Matt Fortuna may have been one of the casualties in the ESPN layoffs a couple of months ago. Seems he's latched on to some website called The Athletic and won't be covering the ACC for espn.com.

 

[gtrower]

Yall talkin about this guy?

Can he replace Pollack?

Not completely, but the two 'tards are finally gone from Thursday nights:

• Thursday Night Twist: New this year, ESPN will rotate analysts to be paired in the booth with play-by-play voice Dave Flemming. Flemming, who returns to the Thursday night telecast with a new contract this season, will be paired with a variety of personalities. Laura Rutledge will be the sideline reporter each week in addition to her new gig hosting SEC Nation each Saturday.

EDIT: And Roddy's the sideline reporter for this crew:

ESPN or ABC Saturday Anish Shroff, Ahmad Brooks, Roddy Jones

If it involves losing 100 lbs to look like a skeleton with AIDS, please no.

 

[Flywheel]

Be sure you're not muted.

I love watching that run. The tackle attempt by Mutt #9 has to be one of the lamest ever.

Never noticed that mutt #9 is "R. Jones" as well. I guess our R. Jones beats their R. Jones.

 

[southendzoneBEE]

He climbed the ladder in no time! He went from sideline radio reporter to booth radio to accn sideline and now to the TV booth!
