New York, NY - All eyes will be on the players from the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers when they take the field in Dallas on February 6 in Super Bowl XLV to determine the champion of the football world.
Just eight days later at Madison Square Garden (Feb 14-15 on USA Network), attention will turn to the canine world as more than 2,500 dogs of all breeds and varieties will compete in the 135th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show to see who will be this year’s Best in Show.
David Frei, the longtime television voice and host of Westminster and its director of communications, is the only person with the credentials to credibly attribute the traits of man's best friend to these similarly purebred football players. Frei formerly held public relations positions with the Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers, and is the son of former Oregon head football coach and longtime NFL assistant Jerry Frei. Now widely known by millions as he celebrates his 22nd anniversary hosting the live telecasts for USA Network, the younger Frei, 61, is a former dog breeder and exhibitor (Afghan Hounds and Brittanys), AKC licensed judge, and still wears a ring from Super Bowl XII.
