Chicago Bears fans who will miss watching Kyle Long on the field every Sunday will now get a chance to watch the former offensive lineman break games down behind a newsdesk. CBS announced on Monday that Long will join That Other Pregame Show this season.
“As a recently retired player, Kyle brings a knowledge straight from the field of today’s game coupled with the mindset of its current generation of athletes,” said Harold Bryant, CBS Sports’ Executive Producer and Senior Vice President of Production in a statement. “His experience as an offensive lineman also will contribute a unique point of view which will complement that of his colleague London Fletcher, who spent 16 seasons as a linebacker in the NFL.
