A-Rod shows off quarterback skills on Fox Sports set, breaks high-tech video screen in process (VIDEO)

Fox Sports recently hired Alex Rodriguez as an analyst for their World Series coverage and, on Sunday, thought it would be cute to have him visit the Fox NFL Sunday set.

To liven things up, the Fox broadcast crew gave A-Rod a football and asked him to show off the quarterbacking skills he hasn't used since high school. The Yankees DH was then asked to throw a pass to Jay Glazer in a studio filled with millions of dollars of high-tech video equipment.

Well, you can guess how that turned out.

Not a problem for A-Rod to reimburse the network. As Yankees fans so begrudgedly know, Rodriguez still has two years on his contract and about $50 million more coming his way.

Donovan McNabb suspended indefinitely by Fox Sports after DUI arrest: Report

Donovan McNabb has been suspended from his NFL analyst job indefinitely after a second DUI arrest, and his bosses did it with a statement that was more succinct than the former quarterback's rambling explanation of his situation last week.

"It is important that Donovan use this time as best he can to resolve his personal situation," Fox Sports said in a statement to SI.com. 

McNabb was arrested June 28 for driving under the influence in Gilbert, Ariz., after the former Eagles and Redskins quarterback rear-ended a vehicle at a red light and appeared impaired, according to police.

The 38-year-old McNabb served a day in jail in April 2014 after pleading guilty in another DUI case resulting from a Dec. 15, 2013, arrest in the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community east of Phoenix. He was ordered to pay a fine of nearly $1,500 and enter an outpatient treatment program in Scottsdale.

On his radio show last week, McNabb had a hard time explaining his voluntary leave of absence from his weekday show on NBC Sports Radio.

"There was a story that was released, and I want everybody to be cognizant of it, because I am very aware of it, handling the matter at this particular point," McNabb said, according to Pro Football Talk. "But at this point, I have no further information, and as we continue on with the situation, then we'll let it handle as it will handle itself."

McNabb worked games last year for FOX, and he appeared regularly on FOX Sports Live. It was believed he’d have a higher profile on FOX’s NFL coverage in 2015.

Phil Mickelson chases down, kicks drone camera at 2015 US Open (VIDEO)

As if the rough terrain at Chambers Bay wasn't enough, Fox Sports has found some new ways to annoy golfers during the 2015 U.S. Open by implementing drones into their coverage. And not just the flying kind. They’ve invaded the course with rolling ground drones, too.

And Phil Mickelson took action against the creeping intruders.

On Friday, Mickelson — who's been hovering at the bottom of the leaderboard himself — decided to have some fun with a ground camera. Walking down the fairway, he chased after one and gave it a friendly kick.

We know the Chambers Bay course is torturous — but bringing in a Mars rover?

Fox Sports will test infrared camera showing players' body temperatures during NFC title game: Report

Have you ever wondered just how frozen a frost-breathing football player was during a cold weather game while you were curled up on your toasty couch?

Well, now you'll know — Predator-style

Fox Sports has a few surprises lined for next month's cold weather Super Bowl telecast at MetLife Stadium, and the network plans to test them out during the San Francisco 49ers-Seattle Seahawks game at CenturyLink Field this Sunday.

The  network will use this weekend's NFC title game in Seattle to test an infrared camera that will show how players' body temperatures change throughout the game. The thermal-imaging shows a person's body heat with different colors — just how the movie extra-terrestrial saw his prey.

"I don't know what story that tells, but it might make for some pretty cool pictures," Eric Shanks, Fox Sports chief operating officer and executive producer, told the Television Critics Association on Monday.

He said another unspecified device will show how wind affects a quarterback or kicker.

Shanks said the network will also have more high-tech 4K cameras than ever before to zoom in for what he called "that definitive angle."

The network is touting the Feb. 2 game as "the coldest and boldest Super Bowl ever" in its advertising. Shanks said the pre-game timing will be altered slightly because of the temperature so people aren't on the field standing around too long waiting for the players to come out.

"We have spent a lot of time with the league going over contingency plans not unlike what we do for this weekend in Seattle," Shanks said, noting three NFL games on Fox this season were delayed because of weather.

"It's not like football isn't played in the cold. We were just in Green Bay," he added. "The NFL shouldn't be apologizing for a cold-weather Super Bowl. If this goes off well, I think we should give another Super Bowl to a cold-weather city. How great would it be to have a Super Bowl in Green Bay?"
