"Tom is one of the all-time great people in this business and a generational storyteller," said Shanks. "The biggest events on FOX just got bigger because of Tom, and we are honored to have him as our newest teammate."

"I'm beyond excited to join the great team at FOX Sports," Rinaldi said. "To contribute to the network's incredible collection of live events, and to continue to tell the stories across those sports and in those venues, is such a fantastic opportunity. I can't wait to get started."
