The California Sports Hall of Fame announced today that Bob Miller has been selected as a media inductee. The organization, started in 2007 by former NFL running back Christian Okoye to help raise money for education, will also induct football coach Dick Vermeil, Football Hall of Fame player Mike Haynes, former heavyweight boxing champion Ken Norton and three-time boxing champion Tony Lopez. Miller will join Chick Hearn, Vin Scully, Jim Murray and Jim Hill as media inductees, and a ceremony will be held on Feb. 27 at the Ontario Convention Center. More information can be found at www.californiasportshalloffame.org.
Also this week, Jim Fox was named — by my former Daily News colleague, Tom Hoffarth — as the top game analyst in Southern California. Hoffarth, the paper’s media columnist, annually ranks local broadcasters, and also gave an honorable-mention nod to Kings radio analyst Daryl Evans. Hoffarth’s column, which also includes a feature on former Kings broadcaster Rich Marotta, can be found by clicking here.

Miller and Foxy are a great team. Hockey’s not the same without them. Fox has taught me more about hockey than anyone.

Kopi in Hardest Shot Competition. Knowing what he did to Smyth’s leg.. he’s got a chance.

The announcer totally botched Kopi’s name, idiot

I think Fox is outstanding, but I actually think Daryl is one of the very best I’ve ever heard at being an analyst and slightly bette than Fox.

@KC23, Hard to compare the 2. I like both, but For different reasons. Daryl is better at vocalizing the play and explaining what’s happening, while foxy has to deal with breaking down technically what’s happening visually. Basically Daryl talks about what happened, while Foxy shows you.

One of these names is not like the others. One of these names just doesn’t belong. Can you guess which one is not like the other by the time I finish this post. ;o

I think, other then vin scully, jim fox and bob miller.are the best that la has to offer. I liked that article.her.much. I would have put stu lance and joel meters as the worst, right above steve lyons and his partner the irritating and cacophonous eric collins. Hockey wouldn’t be the same without cozy and miller. Very deserving of all acolades.

As a long-time Kings fan (since 1971) listening to Jiggs McDonald, Dan Avey and even Roy Story, I can tell you with certainty that Bob Miller and Jim Fox are the finest team of announcers in the game of Hockey. All the best from Portland, Oregon!
