Shaun King Joins VSiN The Sports Betting Network

, , , ,
VSiN, The Sports Betting Network announced today that Shaun King, former NFL quarterback and member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Super Bowl XXXVII championship team, has joined as co-host of The Night Cap. King will join co-host Tim Murray to cover sports betting markets around the country each weeknight from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. ET.



“Shaun is an incredible talent, and we’re thrilled to add his unique perspective as a player to our sports betting content as we continue to expand VSiN’s programming and reach,” said Brian Musburger, founder and CEO of VSiN. “His experience as an NFL quarterback coupled with the skills he honed as a former ESPN and NBC Sports analyst will be an incredibly valuable addition to our evening lineup.”



King played six seasons in the NFL, including five with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and one with the Arizona Cardinals. He was considered among the first true dual-threat quarterbacks in NCAA football during a standout career at Tulane before being selected by Tampa Bay in the 2nd round (50th overall) of the 1999 NFL Draft. He also was a member of the Super Bowl XXXVII Champion Buccaneers.



Following his tenure in the NFL, King began a career in sports media. From 2007-2010 he served as an ESPN studio analyst for NFL and NCAA football appearing on First Take, NFL Live and ESPNews. He was also ESPN’s lead analyst for Arena Football League coverage and worked as a game analyst for Bright House Sports Network in the Bay Area. King has served as an NFL analyst for NBC Sports Network, Yahoo! Sports, FOX Sports Net and Versus and co-hosted the King David Radio Show on 1010 AM in Tampa.



“My passion has always been connecting with and informing sports fans and no one does that better than VSiN when it comes to sports betting,” said King. “I’m so excited to join a team on the forefront of what’s happening in sports betting and use this impressive platform to help give fans the news and insights they need to decide when to have a little skin in the game and when to stick to just a rooting interest in the teams they love.”

In response to a comment about putting a Snoop Dogg tattoo on her shoulder, Bassett said, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle.” Bassett is white.
