I bet you forgot that NBC Sports (The network formally known as Versus) has signed a contract to broadcast MLS games starting next season (I know I did).

Anyway, the Peacock Network has signed a lead announcer for the upcoming season...His name is Arlo White and he currently calls the matches for the Seattle Sounders.

I must admit I have never heard him call a Sounders match. It's good to see a a guy with a local team get a crack at the top spot. I am looking forward to hearing him.

No announcement was made on who his on-air partner was made...IIRC, wasnt John Harkes recently let go by the Mothership...I thought I read that somewhere.

Here is more on White and the addition to MLS games to NBC Sports.
