U.S. Marshals escorted Fox sportscasters from World Series, NFL playoffs

By GottaLaff

Your taxpayer dollars at work:

A new report by the Justice Department's inspector general finds that a lawyer for the U.S. Marshals Service arranged for the Marshals Service to provide a private escort for the limousines of Fox's star broadcasters, Joe Buck and Tim McCarver, after two World Series games at Fenway Park in 2007.

The report also found that the lawyer, Joseph Band, had arranged for a US Marshals escort for Buck and colleague Troy Aikman, the former Cowboys star, after a January 2008 NFL playoff game in Tampa.

Band was working as a paid statistician for Fox Sports at the time.

I was going to call the Marshals Service to facilitate my little jaunts down those bothersome jam-packed L.A. freeways, but Buck and McCarver beat me to them. What the Fox is up with that?
