Anchor, Rocky Mountain Sports Report
Tim Ring has anchored the Rocky Mountain Sports Report since August 2001. After just one year in the Denver market, Ring was recognized in the annual "Best Of" edition of the Westword as Sportscaster of the Year.
Ring comes to Denver from a similar position in Miami (Fla.) where he was sports anchor for WAMI's nightly half-hour sports show. During Ring's three-year tenure at WAMI, the station was the local rights holder for the Miami Heat and Florida Marlins. His involvement with the local pro sports scene was extensive, hosting pre- and post-game shows for the Heat and Marlins and sideline reporting for Heat telecasts. In 2000, WAMI's pre-game coverage of the Miami Heat earned an Emmy Award. Ring added another NBA team to his schedule, hosting Dallas Maverick pregame shows for KSTR-TV in Dallas from WAMI's studios in Miami for two seasons.
Prior to joining WAMI in 1998, Ring was sports director at WLUK-TV in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he hosted the Green Bay Packer pre- and post-game shows, On Guard with Aaron Taylor, Inside with Antonio Freeman and Edgar Bennett, and Talking Football with Brett Favre and LeRoy Butler.
A 1991 graduate of DePaul University, Ring started his career at WGN-TV in Chicago as a producer from 1989 to 1994. He debuted on-air in Wausau, Wisconsin, as a weekend sports reporter/anchor for WAOW-TV. No stranger to Fox, Ring worked NFL on Fox broadcasts involving the Green Bay Packers for two seasons, beginning in 1997.

Analyst, Colorado Rockies
George Frazier enters his seventh season as analyst in the Colorado Rockies booth, teaming up with Drew Goodman to provide fans with exclusive coverage of 125 games on Fox Sports Net and KTVD Channel 20 in 2004.
An experienced broadcaster, George has provided insight for Home Sports Entertainment, the Baseball Network, ESPN and the Minnesota Twins.
A former major league relief pitcher from 1978 to 1987, Frazier compiled a 35-43 record in 415 games, with a 4.20 ERA and 29 saves, while pitching for St. Louis, New York (AL), Cleveland, Chicago (NL) and Minnesota. He made trips to the World Series with both the Yankees (1981) and the Twins (1987), earning a world championship ring in his final season as a player in Minnesota.
Frazier played college baseball at the University of Oklahoma, leading the Sooners to four consecutive trips to the College World Series, before Milwaukee selected him in the ninth round of the 1976 draft. He earned all-state honors at Hillcrest High School in Springfield, Mo., going 7-0 with a 0.14 ERA during his senior season.

Reporter, Rocky Mountain Sports Report
Keith Bleyer, one of the original employees for the ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPORTS REPORT, is in his fourth year as reporter and anchor for Fox Sports Net. Bleyer also hosts the Rockies Pregame Report and serves as studio host for Colorado Avalanche and Denver Nuggets intermission reports.
A familiar personality in Denver, Bleyer hosted and produced FSN's weekly Rocky Preps program about Colorado high school sports in 1999. He also was a freelance reporter and producer for KCNC-TV News 4 in 1998, working primarily with the Countdown to Kickoff show prior to each Denver Broncos game. Additionally, Bleyer worked part-time at AM 950 The Fan radio in Denver, where he anchored sportscasts and provided live reports during breaking stories.
From 1994 to 1998, Bleyer was sports director for the CBS affiliate, KGAN-TV, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He has also served as sports director at WAOW-TV in Wausau, Wis. (1993-94) and was a sports anchor/reporter at WPTZ-TV in Burlington, Vt. (1991-93).
Bleyer has done radio and TV work with several local teams, including the Colorado Rapids (MLS) and the Colorado Eagles (CHL).
Bleyer is a 1991 graduate of Santa Clara University, where he played NCAA Division I soccer. His wife, Kelly Schulz, is also in the broadcasting business and currently works as a weeknight news anchor at KRDO-TV in Colorado Springs.
Drew Goodman
Sports Director
Drew Goodman, one of the most versatile broadcasters in sports, is in his fourth season calling Colorado Rockies games for FSN Rocky Mountain and KTVD. He is one of two original employees of FSN Rocky Mountain, joining the Denver-based regional sports network in 1988.
For 10 years (1994-2004), he was the play-by-play announcer for Denver Nuggets telecasts on FSN Rocky Mountain and local over-the-air stations. From 2002 through 2004, he was one of few sportscasters to regularly call action for telecasts of two professional teams in the same year – annually logging more than 190 games between the Colorado Rockies and Denver Nuggets.
This year, he'll call more than 165 games between major-league baseball, NFL on FOX, Big 12 Conference football (national and regional), University of Colorado and Colorado State football and men's basketball, various network live events and ancillary programming.
In 2004, he earned his third consecutive Colorado Sportscaster of the Year honor by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association.
Prior to becoming the Rockies play-by-play voice in 2002, Goodman worked select major-league baseball national telecasts for FSN, and hosted Rockies Weekly with Buddy Bell and Colorado Rockies Pre-game Report.
Goodman's work in football has been extensive, including stints working the NFL with NBC in 1993 and occasional games on FOX Sports since 2000. In addition to the NFL and Big 12 Conference football, he's worked ACC, Mountain West Conference (CSU) and WAC football games. For two seasons (2000-2002) he called play-by-play for Denver Broncos preseason games on the Broncos radio network, and for five seasons in the mid-‘90s he hosted the post-game report following Denver Broncos on KOA.
He added the NHL to his resume in 1996 when he started hosting the Avalanche Pregame Report for FSN Rocky Mountain – an assignment he held for six years until picking up the Rockies play-by-play assignment.
Not limiting his talents to the four major team sports, Goodman called tennis action for Prime Sports' (now Fox Sports Net) initial year of ATP tour coverage in 1990, and for three year he called the Annual MS Tennis Classic in Denver. In the fall of 1993, he called the play-by-play for the first-ever ATP tennis event – the Beijing Open – in Mainland China for worldwide distribution on Prime International. For eight years, Goodman covered men's and women's World Cup and pro ski racing as well as college baseball for ESPN and has also been involved with the coverage of track and field, gymnastics, wrestling and golf.
Goodman has taken his skills and applied them to studio shows, hosting numerous programs during his tenure with FSN, including the Denver Nuggets Coaches Show, The Big 12 Gridiron Report, the Big Ten Reports, WAC Magazine and Golf Colorado.
A native of New York, Goodman received his bachelor's degree in communications from Ithaca College in 1985. He and his wife, Kristi, are actively involved in Colorado Youth at Risk, an organization that helps re-direct the lives of troubled teens. Their most important endeavor is raising the Rockies future outfield -- Jacob (5/12/98), Zachary (6/5/00) and Gabriel (3/12/03).

Talk about the game and not fill every single moment with idle chatter. We didn't appreciate seeing the FSN truck with all the producers and editors in a screen in screen tonight. How about just talking about the game and not so much on statistics and "fluff" to fill up the air time. Has any one there listened to a nice Chicago network game on the Chicago station that is easy to listen to without all the chatter. FSN really needs to think about George Frazier's contract as who really likes that nasal tone of his and this "spectacular knowledge" of the game of baseball he has to let everyone know each and every game. Is it just us or does everyone like this constant chatter they think they have to provide? This totally distracts from the game!

I'm really tired of turning down the sound in order to listen to the game on radio. George Frazier ruins it for the rest of us. He is smug, rude to Drew and unexcited when the Rockies do something worth watching. Please, please reconsider his contract. He talks down to people and it's frankly unacceptable.

We love watching the Rockies games down here in Santa Fe, NM. But please, pretty please dump the color analyst George. His voice is annoying. He does not "hear" what the play by play guy says, and generally is full of himself.

I was so looking forward to watching the Rockies this year after such a great finish last year. But once again I must endure George Frazier. I just can?t stand him going on endlessly on any subject that amuses him and has nothing to do with the game. Seven years with Fox does anyone their watch these games and critic his work

where is george frazier?seems George is missing in action?

Does George Frazier get paid by the word? He thinks that he needs to fill every second with some mundane baseball inside fact. Maybe he should listen some more to his idol, Vince Scully where less is much more!

We really enjoy the broadcast team of George and Drew. You guys are great! My only gripe is that the interviews that are conducted with random people in your booth go on waaaaay too long and distract from the game being played. Especially with so much on the line this year, the game should be the number one focus. Thanks!

The bats seem to be breaking more often than when I was a kid. In the 40's they had a bat made of Hickory called the "Louisville Slugger". Have they changed the material or density of the bats being used now, compared to that time.<br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />Sonny Willis<br />303-759-3037<br />Denver, CO<br />Syljak@comcast.net

The Rockies announcer, Drew Goodman, and, especially, Jeff Huson, are the biggest homers in baseball broadcasting. They make the most ridiculous excuses for Rockies mistakes, and never admit that the player has made a serious mistake, or a foolish mental error. There is no objectivity whatsoever. When the player stinks, I expect to have them call attention to it.

I really enjoy your broadcast of Rockies games, but I wish you would learn to pronounce Kaz Matsui. There is no -a- sound, as in cat, in the Japanese language. See www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~bestor/easy_.... Keep up the good work.
