Chris Rose Departure
Speaking of Fox, I believe that "The Best Damn Sports Show Period" will suffer without Chris Rose in the mix. Rose fulfilled the same role that James Brown fulfills on the Fox NFL pre-game broadcasts - an island of sanity in an environment of loud yuk-yuk artists. Here's some coverage that I missed until today, from the Cleveland Plain Dealer:


After three years as host of FSN Ohio's "Best Damn Sports Show Period," Chris Rose is leaving - and it's the best darn move the Shaker Heights native could make for his career.

Yes, the "BDSSP" gig brought Rose great exposure....But it also came at a price - each evening, Rose had to babysit buffoonish "BDSSP" star Tom Arnold (a comedian who knows little about sports) and fellow contributor John Salley (a former NBA player whose egotistical rants suggest he hasn't yet accepted the "former" part)....

Rose plans to do play-by-play on upcoming Arena Football League and NFL Europe telecasts - with an eye towards eventually doing NFL broadcasts on Fox.



The Pro Wrestling Insider, however, is happy about the move:


According to...the New York Post The FOX Sports Network has dropped Chris Rose from the Best Damned Sports Show. Some of you may remember Rose as the goof wearing the "Wrestling is Fake" T-shirt during the TNA specials a few months back. Tom Arnold is the new lead host of the show, which is good as he's a big wrestling fan.
