Bad timing, Lamar Odom: TMZ Sports is set to launch a breaking news series next Monday on Fox Sports 1.
The aptly named “TMZ Sports” will feature “exclusive up-to-the-minute, off-field stories and breaking news specifically focused on sports personalities making headlines around town,” per a Monday announcement.
The web-based TMZ Sports recently made national headlines breaking stories about Ray Rice’s domestic violence, Donald Sterling’s liberal use of the N-word during recorded private conversations, and the fallout from Odom’s heavy partying with Nevada prostitutes.
“TMZ Sports offers a window into the world where sport and celebrity cultures intersect — whether at a party, movie premiere or an ordinary day,” said Jamie Horowitz, president of Fox Sports National Networks.
