ABOUT THE HOST

An eight-year veteran of the National Football League, Ron Pitts has had plenty of hard-hitting, high impact "seconds" in his career. He's currently a professional sports broadcaster with over a decade of experience providing play-by-play coverage and post-game analysis for action-packed sports events.

An NFL broadcaster with FOX Sports since 1994, Pitts has also served as a feature and sideline reporter during FOX's coverage of three Super Bowls. Before joining the network, Pitts served as a game analyst for regional college football broadcasts on ABC Sports. He also worked as a correspondent for Black Entertainment Television.

Ron is the son of the late Elijah Pitts, the former Green Bay Packers star who also served as assistant head coach for the Buffalo Bills. He followed in his father's NFL footsteps and was Buffalo's seventh-round draft pick in 1985, playing defensive back until 1987. He joined the Green Bay Packers as a free agent in 1988 and played there until his retirement after the 1991 season.
