VETERAN BROADCASTER, THREE-TIME ALL-PRO & COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAMER CHRIS SPIELMAN RETURNS TO FOX SPORTS AS NFL AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL ANALYST

Former Ohio State & NFL Linebacker Boasts More Than 15 Years of Broadcast Experience

New York - Former Ohio State All-American and NFL All-Pro linebacker Chris Spielman returns to FOX Sports as an NFL and college football analyst, it was announced today by FOX Sports President, Production & Executive Producer John Entz. Spielman, who began his broadcasting career with FOX Sports Net in 1999, serves as a game analyst during the upcoming NFL season and contributes to the network's extensive college football coverage.

"I'm excited about being part of FOX's NFL and college football coverage for years to come." Spielman said.

"Chris is a tremendous broadcaster with a wealth of NFL and college football knowledge," Entz said. "His outstanding career both on and off the field brings a huge amount of credibility to FOX Sports. We feel really fortunate to have him with us."

A native of Massillon, Ohio, Spielman graduated from The Ohio State University in 1988 with a degree in recreation education. He was a two-time All-American at linebacker for the Buckeyes and received the Lombardi Award, honoring the nation's top college lineman or linebacker, following his senior season. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2010.

Spielman was taken 29th overall in the 1998 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions where he played eight seasons, represented the team in four Pro Bowls and was named the squad's defensive MVP twice. Spielman also played two seasons with the Buffalo Bills, setting a career high in tackles during the 1996 season. He retired in 1999 as a member of the Cleveland Browns.

Spielman entered broadcasting in 1999 with FOX Sports Net where he worked as an NFL studio analyst for two years before joining ESPN in 2001. With ESPN, Spielman primarily worked on ESPN College Football Saturday alongside play-by-play partner Sean McDonough and sideline reporter Todd McShay.

Spielman is active in the fight against cancer and leads the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research, named for his late wife who passed away in 2009 following her own courageous battle. He is now married to his wife, Carrie, and the two parent their six children.
