Last night's Emmy scores

The Sports Emmy Awards were handed out last night, and the totals went like this: NBC 10, HBO 8, ESPN 6, CBS 5, Fox 5, Fox SportsNet 3, TNT 2, ABC 1, NFL Network 1, Showtime 1. Those totals include some shared Emmys for talent appearing on two networks and shows produced by two and also add Web site awards for networks.

The on-air individuals honored:

Studio host: Bob Costas

Play by play: Jim Nantz

Studio analyst: Terry Bradshaw, Tom Jackson

Event analyst: Cris Collinsworth

A few comments: Good to see Jackson recognized. He has been the best thing about ESPN's NFL studio coverage for a long time. ... Bradshaw? Not so much. ... How about Jay Bilas for a share of the studio Emmy? ... You would expect to see NBC leading the way after an Olympic year.

About Ray Frager

Ray Frager joined The Baltimore Sun’s sports department in 1985 and has been an assistant sports editor for more than 15 years. This is his second stint writing a sports media column for The Baltimore Sun. Most sequels aren't as good as the original, but then, the original wasn't all that great either.

Frager, born in 1957, grew up in northern Delaware (graduating from a high school that since has shut down) and received his bachelor's degree in journalism from Rider College in Lawrenceville, N.J. He worked as a reporter and copy editor at The Trenton Times and The Dallas Morning News before coming to Baltimore.

Surprisingly, if you look at his accompanying photo, Frager is married and has a son and daughter. He enjoys playing basketball and has organized pickup games among members of The Baltimore Sun staff for many years, which means they don't get too mad at him for shooting way too much.

He has a good beat and is easy to dance to. I'd give him an 85.
