Tim Howard to call EPL games when not in Everton goal

Tim Howard will keep doubling as an English Premier League goalkeeper and TV announcer. The U.S. star will work up to 10 games for NBC Sports Group during the upcoming season on days his EPL team, Everton, isn’t playing. He will either serve as a game commentator in the booth or as an on-site studio analyst for high-profile matches. Howard, 35, did seven games for NBCSN last season, and the network announced Tuesday it signed him to a multiyear deal. The curtain rasies for the new season on Aug. 10 with the FA Community Shild, a match between last season’s EPL champion, Manchester City, and Cup winner Arsenal. – Associated Press
