Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen will man Fox’s lead NFL announcing booth in 2022, the network announced on Tuesday, with reporters Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi and rules analyst Mike Pereira filling out the team.
Burkhardt, a former Mets reporter for SNY, and Olsen, a three-time Pro Bowl tight end, will succeed Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, who left Fox for ESPN’s “Monday Night Football.” Fox will carry the Super Bowl for the coming season, giving Burkhardt and Olsen that marquee assignment in their first season in the top spot.
Olsen began his announcing career on Fox’s No. 2 team last season, paired with Burkhardt. Tom Brady is set to become Fox’s lead NFL analyst after retiring as a player.
Neil Best first worked at Newsday in 1982, returned in 1985 after a detour to Alaska and has been here since, specializing in high schools, college basketball, the NFL and most recently sports media and business.
