FOX Dumps Siragusa
- Fox Sports has parted ways with NFL sideline analyst Tony Siragusa, The Big Lead reported Wednesday. Siragusa had been with the network since 2003, working most of those years alongside Kenny Albert and Daryl Johnston. Perhaps portending his departure, FOX shifted him to the Thom Brennaman/Charles Davis team last year. (The Big Lead)
Brewers Extend Anderson
- Milwaukee Brewers play-by-play voice Brian Anderson, best known nationally for his work with Turner Sports, will remain with the team under a multi-year contract extension. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported the deal earlier this month, but it was actually finalized as far back as January.
