NFL Hires Palmer To Cover Broncos, Getlin For League Reporting

The NFL hired two reporters – one as part of its plan to develop a slate of regionally based NFL Media reporters and another to cover league-wide issues for TV and online. James Palmer was hired to cover the Broncos. Formerly of Comcast SportsNet Houston, Palmer will be based in Denver, filling a similar role to reporters the NFL has hired in other markets like Tiffany Blackmon (Atlanta), Albert Breer (Boston), Kimberly Jones (N.Y.), Aditi Kinkhabwala (Pittsburgh), Jeff Darlington (Miami), Stacey Dales (Chicago), Desmond Purnell (Dallas) and Steve Wyche and Omar Ruiz (both L.A).

“We’re trying to build a national reporting staff that’s based strategically around the country,” said NFL Media Group News Editor David Eaton, who added that he does not have a set number of markets that he’d like to fill. “It’s all talent driven, not necessarily market driven.” The NFL also hired Rand Getlin from Yahoo Sports to cover league-wide topics. A former talent agent who holds a law degree, Getlin will be based in L.A. alongside NFL reporters Ian Rapoport and Judy Battista.
