Weekends are big for FOX Sports broadcaster Tim Brando this time of year. This week he’s about to finish up four college basketball games in seven days, each on a different campus. But last weekend was even bigger than usual — and he didn’t have a game. His job is to call the action; last weekend, he had a Friday-Saturday doubleheader, and he WAS the action.
Friday night in Houston at the Gridiron Greats Gala benefitting the Lombardi Foundation at the Post Oak Hotel, he was one of four honored with the Inaugural Lombardi Foundation Award — Timmy was named “Legendary Broadcaster.” The event also raised $300,000 toward research and treatment of children’s cancer. Then Saturday night in New Orleans at the 35th annual Louisiana Italian/American Sports Gala, Brando was inducted into the Louisiana Italian/American Hall of Fame.
