Former Fox broadcaster Bill Maas, a former All-Pro lineman, was released from jail on Sunday along with passenger Sarah Murphy. Police officers searched Maas' vehicle and uncovered a .22-caliber revolver, 5 grams of suspected marijuana, 6 grams of suspected cocaine and 28 pills of Ecstasy on Friday, July 6th. The 45-year-old Maas was charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and unlawful use of a weapon.
Maas was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in 1984 and went on to become a two-time pro at defensive tackle. After the 1992 season Maas finished his career with the Green Bay Packers after playing for them for one year. In 1996 he joined the Fox Sports NFL broadcast team. He worked as a reporter, announcer, and analyst for the network. According to Fox executive Dan Bell, in an interview with USA Today, Bill Maas wasn't expected to come back to Fox Sports and certainly won't be used in any capacity anymore after his arrest.
Why couldn't it have been Joe Buck, Tim McCarver, Chris Berman, or John Madden? Not only would have it made the story that much more interesting, it would have gotten rid of one of my 4 "Take Away Their Microphone" announcers.
