'Fox NFL Sunday' heads to Afghanistan
Sunday, November 1, 2009

Fox Sports, in conjunction with Armed Forces Entertainment, just announced that it would broadcast an unprecedented two-hour special “Fox NFL Sunday” next Sunday from an undisclosed military installation in Afghanistan at 11 a.m.

The studio team of Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, Jimmy Johnson and Jay Glazer will make the trip just three days before Veteran’s Day as a tribute to the dedication and sacrifice of our country’s servicemen and women.

“Our men and women in the military put themselves in harm’s way to protect everything we hold dear, and none more so than those who are stationed in the Middle East, ” said FOX Sports Chairman David Hill. “It is our privilege and honor to take ‘Fox NFL Sunday’ to them in November, right before Veteran’s Day. Amidst the fun and football, it’s our hope to showcase the dedication of these men and women who have to defend against a lot more than the Wild Cat.”

“Armed Forces Entertainment brings our men and women in uniform serving overseas a piece home-to give them support during deployment,” said Armed Forces Entertainment Chief and Air Force Col. Edward Shock. “And during football season, there’s no better slice of Americana to bring to our troops overseas than the guys on ‘Fox NFL Sunday.’ It’s going to be one heck of an event, and we salute Fox for their dedication and support of the U.S. military.”

It’s the second time “Fox NFL Sunday” has originated from a military setting. In December 2000, the “Fox NFL Sunday” broadcast two shows from the flight deck of the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75), one of America’s newest and most sophisticated nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, then on patrol in the Mediterranean Sea.
