For any old school Sportscenter fans, this is great news. Now if they could only get Craiggers on board...
NBC has announced that Dan Patrick will join the cast of Football Night in America, where he will team up with his old SportsCenter partner Keith Olbermann to handle highlights of all the Sunday afternoon games.
“We are proud to reunite one of the greatest teams in the history of sports broadcasting,” NBC Sports head Dick Ebersol said in a statement. “Dan and Keith were more than successful together, they defined the way that sports highlights are now delivered. Their unique delivery has been sorely missed and now they’ll be able to take their act to a primetime network television audience each Sunday night in the fall.”
Football Night in America will continue to be hosted by Bob Costas with commentary from Cris Collinsworth, Jerome Bettis and Tiki Barber, and reporting from Peter King.
Patrick and Olbermann teamed up on SportsCenter from 1992 to 1997. Patrick will continue to write for Sports Illustrated and host The Dan Patrick Show on the radio.
