Former Jaguars' defensive lineman Jeff Lageman will be joining the

Jaguars broadcast team as a preseason television color analyst and

to host this season's Monday evening football program, "Monday

Night Live!" on WTLV TV-12. Now in its fifth season, "Monday

Night Live!" will once again be broadcast from River City Brewing

Company beginning Monday, September 6, and continuing

throughout the NFL season.

Lageman, one of the league's most popular and knowledgeable

players, hosted a local TV show last year, and is looking forward to

making the move to TV-12, the team's Official Television Station.

During the preseason, Lageman will team with 12NEWS Sports

Director Dan Hicken to provide color commentary for the

preseason games. "I'm excited to continue to be a part of the

Jaguars organization," said Lageman. "I'm looking forward to

working with Dan Hicken and providing viewers with quality

analysis of this season's preseason games."

"We've been fortunate to have a player like Jeff on our football

team," said Dan Connell, Jaguars Senior Vice President of

Marketing. "Jeff has been an integral part of the Jaguars since our

inception and it is exciting that he will continue to play an important

role as the co-host of 'Monday Night Live!' and color analyst on

our preseason television broadcasts."

WTLV President and General Manager Ken Tonning added, "It

takes a special mix of confidence and sports savvy to host an

hour-long broadcast each week. We believe that Jeff Lageman,

teamed up with Dan Hicken, will produce the best, most informative

and entertaining football show available."

Along with Lageman and Hicken, the show will feature regular

appearances from quarterback Mark Brunell and offensive lineman

Tony Boselli. Other key players will be part of the "Monday Night

Live!" guest line up as well.
