The Eagle family is now officially an NFL broadcasting family. There is another member of the family that in recent years has joined the commenting table. For those who missed him, Noah Eagle is following in the footsteps of his father, Ian Eagle.
The man joined the NFL in week 16 of the 2022 season and has since been amazing. He gives a lot of energy to the game’s viewers, which is what you would expect from a commentator. And perhaps this is due to his commentary on genetics, as Ian Eagle was the same. But how has Ian done in the NFL?

Without stepping on the Gridiron, Ian Eagle is a true NFL legend. For more than 28 years, he has worked as a play-by-play announcer. He started this in 1994, two years before Noah’s birth. This thing shows how much time the man has dedicated to the football world. While being in this business was challenging for Ian Eagle, when asked if he wanted to drive his kid away from the struggles he suffered, the man completely denied it.
The 55-year-old claimed, “I never even thought about that, because it was something that he was very passionate about. I was nothing but encouraging, but I also knew the reality of the business. The reality is, if you don’t have the talent to do it, it’s probably not going to work out for you.”
Noah Eagle got his first gig in 2018 and has never looked back since. The man has also worked as a commentator for college football, the NBA, and certain Olympic games. It was high time for him to finally work beside his own father in 2022. While this father-son duo is fantastic, there is someone else who has been making sure they are okay behind the scenes.

Who is Mama Eagle?
Alisa Terry Eagle is the Lady Luck of the Eagle’s family. She and Ian married in 1993, and the man’s hard work, combined with some substantial support from her, led to him landing a big job in the NFL. Interestingly, Alisa and Ian found each other during their first year in college. While Ian Eagle became a commentator, Alisa Eagle earned a retail degree.
After that, Alisa was the creative director for Piccoli & Piccoli, a New York television production business. Surprisingly, in addition to her professional life, she was managing her entire family, too. Ian Eagle has also stated that since Noah Eagle was a kid, Alisa has been inspiring him to achieve great things. She is also the reason behind the 27-year-old’s success. But where did the steps to this success begin?

Noah Eagle always had a commentator within him somewhere. And the proof of this comes from the fact that the man was also on WAER radio while in college. He was the play-by-play announcer for Syracuse basketball, football, and lacrosse games. The man attended Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communication in 2019.
So that was it for the young NFL commentator. Do you think the man can be a part of the NFL and make a mark just like his father?
