Vic "The Brick" Jacobs
One of the strangest personalities in sports radio has to be Vic “The Brick” Jacobs. “The Brick” is of Hungarian decent which can often come out through his voice. But, he was raised in Queens. He attended the Ivy League Cornell, which gives him the intellectual factor of sports radio. Interestingly enough, he started his broadcasting career not in the United States, but in Guam. He has worked all over the world and has a vast wealth of experience.

Today, instead of covering cock fights in Guam, he loves bringing his interesting personality to sports radio. He knows a little bit about everything, making him an expert in almost nothing. All jokes aside, he is someone that has served time as a TV sports person and radio guy in LA for years and has a lot of respect from him colleagues.

After the late 80’s, Vic “The Brick” Jacobs noticed a change in the way people took sports radio. Before, he stated that all sports casters had to do were mention the score of a few games and everyone loved them. Today however, he claims they want to be entertained on a more personal level. The prediction is that people want a mix between Dr. Phil and a traditional sportscaster. So, that is what he tries to give them. A little bit of him, mixed with sports. And the people love it!

If you want to hear Vic Jacobs today, you can do so throughout the afternoon from noon to 7pm on XTRA SPORTS AM570.
