Thom Brennaman is set to return to television nearly four years after uttering what appeared to be a career-ending slur. Brennaman has joined Nexstar’s CW as its lead college football play-by-play voice, Andrew Marchand of The Athletic reported Sunday, marking his first meaningful television assignment since he used an anti-gay slur on the air while calling a Reds game in 2020.
