Fox Boosts NFL Both With Greg Olsen Hire, but Fumbles Another Opportunity: TRAINA THOUGHTS

1. New York Post sports media reporter Andrew Marchand broke the news Monday that Fox has hired Greg Olsen to become its No. 2 NFL analyst. The role was vacated a few months ago when Charles Davis left for CBS.

The only problem is that the veteran tight end is playing for the Seahawks this season, so he won't join play-by-play man Kevin Burkhardt until the 2021 season.

I'm going off of a small sample size, but this is an excellent hire by Fox. Olsen worked a Giants-Cardinals game in 2019 and stood out as a natural.
