BOSTON (AP) - Former New England Patriots quarterback and Boston area
sportscaster Scott Zolak has been named color analyst for team radio
broadcasts.
Zolak, who previously served as sideline reporter for
broadcasts, joins longtime play-by-play announcer Gil Santos in the
booth. Zolak replaces another former Patriots player, Gino Cappelletti,
who retired last month.
Mike Thomas, vice president of programming
for flagship radio station WBZ-FM, says Zolak's "vast knowledge of
football and his long relationship with the team make him the obvious
choice for this position."
Zolak says takes "great pride and gratitude" in the job.
Zolak played eight of his nine NFL seasons with the Patriots and one year with the Miami Dolphins.
