When describing why he opted to sign a multi-year offer with Fox Sports, Alexi Lalas said the network made him an offer he could not refuse.

“They Godfathered me,” Lalas told SI.com Monday night.

The World Cup is not the reason I am going to Fox and I don’t think it should be. Is it a wonderful carrot? Absolutely. But if the reason you go somewhere is because of the World Cup, then I think you are setting yourself up for disappointment and maybe disaster.”

So FOX is already off to a bad start. One of the few highlights of the WC commentary was the Men in Blazers. One of the things most people complained about was Lalas.

So, hopefully they will counter Lalas douchebaggary with some humorous group, if not MIB.
