Sunday was all about the Super Bowl, but that didn’t mean that there wasn’t time for a big piece of baseball news: Derek Jeter is headed to Fox.
Before the kickoff, Alex Rodriguez one of the big names from Fox Sports’ MLB coverage, joined Kirk Menefee and Michael Strahan outside of State Farm Stadium.
As it turns out, he wasn’t there only to promote the upcoming baseball season. He was also on hand to announce the newest member of the Fox baseball broadcast team.

Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen more than lived up to the big moment in the Big Game.
1. The Chiefs won the Super Bowl, but nobody had a better NFL postseason than Fox’s top broadcast team of Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen.
In their first season as Fox’s “A” crew, replacing Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, who both left for ESPN last year, Burkhardt and Olsen flew under the radar for most of the regular season.
This was so good from Greg Olsen.
Fox Sports has found a star in Greg Olsen, and his insight was on display on one of the biggest stages in all of sports Sunday night when he teamed up with Kevin Burkhardt on a perfect call of Super Bowl LVII.
The former Pro Bowl tight end did a great job of being in the moment and calling things the way he saw them on two big plays during the Chiefs’ game-winning drive.
These four players boosted their fantasy stock heading into 2023.
Super Bowl LVII is in the books, and it’s time to look ahead to the 2023 season. We already had a good idea what the Chiefs and Eagles were all about by the time we got to Arizona (shout-out to Public Enemy), but there were still a few takeaways from the Big Game that might have fantasy implications next season.
We already knew Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts were really good. Mahomes didn’t rack up a ton of yards, but he still threw three touchdown passes in Kansas City’s 38-35 victory.
Paul Rudd’s son Jack might be a star in his own right.
The Hollywood star and Chiefs fan was in attendance Sunday night at the Super Bowl with his son, and after Mahomes won his second ring, Jack stole the show while speaking with Peter Schrager.
“I just want to thank Patrick Mahomes for existing … I’m so lucky that I’m alive to watch this. I cannot believe he is a real person. I don’t know how to explain it,” Jack said with a look of joy that simply can’t be faked.
“I just want to thank Patrick Mahomes for existing… I cannot believe he is a real person.
The longtime ESPN personality made a strange connection in regard to the first Super Bowl matchup between Black starting quarterbacks.
Super Bowl LVII presented a historic matchup for several reasons Sunday night, but one of the most relevant story lines leading up to the Big Game was the fact that it was the first NFL championship game to feature two Black starting quarterbacks in Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts. Naturally, the subject was discussed across the sports media landscape before and during the game, but one reference didn’t go over well.
While normal, everyday people were just excited to see two great quarterbacks in Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts battle it out in the Super Bowl, the race-obsessed media had to make it about the color of their skin.
Super Bowl LVII marked the first time two black quarterbacks squared off against one another in the big game. You likely heard or read that note dozens of times in the lead-up to the game, but Chris Berman and ESPN felt the need to continually drive home the point even after the game was over.

Two Black quarterbacks, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Babyface and RIHANNA all during Black History Month
Let’s be brutally honest for a moment, the NFL hasn’t exactly been a shining example of diversity, inclusion, and racial equality throughout its almost 103-year history.
Coming into the 2022 season, there were only four Black head coaches, Mike Tomlin (who has been the Steelers head coach since 2007) Mike McDaniels, Todd Bowles and Lovie Smith out of the 32 NFL teams, despite the fact that about 57.5% of all NFL players are African-American.
The two-time MVP quarterback won his second Super Bowl MVP following the Chiefs’ win over the Eagles on Sunday.
The Super Bowl LVII celebration appears to be in full swing for Patrick Mahomes following the Chiefs’ 38-35 win over the Eagles on Sunday night.
The star quarterback claimed his second Super Bowl MVP, just days after becoming a two-time NFL MVP, to cap another impressive season that ended with Kansas City claiming its second championship in four years. In the aftermath of the Big Game at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.
Kansas City Chiefs veteran quarterback Chad Henne has decided to go out on top as he announced his retirement from the NFL just moments after winning his second Super Bowl ring on Sunday.
Henne, 37, grabbed himself a Bud Light during the on-field celebration and shared the announcement to Instagram that he was calling it quits.

That cold beer undoubtedly went down smoothly for Mr. Henne.
