Ken has been covering the sports media in earnest at his own site, Fang’s Bites since May 2007 and at Awful Announcing since March 2013.
He provides a unique perspective having been an award-winning radio news reporter in Providence and having worked in local television.
Fang celebrates the four Boston Red Sox World Championships in the 21st Century, but continues to be a long-suffering Cleveland Browns fan.
“That’s quite the name. Will be fun for the announcers to say for sure.”
“Commentating is like 5 seconds ahead for everyone else?”
The Spanish national anthem does not contain lyrics.
“Travis, not sure he can hear me, but we’ll get back to him and fix that.”
The tradition will last so long as the Rays keep winning…
Fingers crossed that cooler heads prevail and the only drama from here on our happens on the pitch.
