Apparently, he quickly got a gig with Fox, and will be calling the Vikings-Jaguars game this Sunday. Awful Announcing tells us that he will work with Chris Rose and sideline reporter Krista Voda.

Unless you have DirecTV’s Sunday Ticket or are a die-hard Vikings or Jaguars fan who lives in a remote area, you probably won’t get to hear Lynch’s debut. It’s a shame, too, since the Vikings are tied atop the NFC North standings, yet their fans get the new guy.

Fox also put their No. 1 broadcast team of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman on the gripping San Francisco-Dallas game. Good thing there is no Cowboys bias at the network*. After all, Fox is only doing the NY Giants-Arizona and Carolina-Atlanta games. You know, three first place teams and the young, exciting Falcons.
