Inside... But Out! by Clemons, remises Eric NEUF

Inside…but Out! encapsulates the personal experiences of Eric Clemons, who grew up in inner-city Chicago, Illinois, and found his way into the upper echelon of network and regional sports television, including ESPN Sports Center, Fox NFL Sunday, and other stops along the way. With much of todays conversation around how people from different backgrounds "code switch," Clemons had to deal with all those "unwritten rules" African Americans and others might come up against in the corporate world, having to find his own way in the 80s and 90s, which was totally uncharted territory for him. Clemons ran into plenty of the remises games biggest stars and has covered more than his share of big moments, including Mike Tysons first career loss at the hands of James Buster Douglas in Tokyo and Michael Jordans first NBA title with the Chicago Bulls. With that excitement came the constant and often covert obstacles that seemed to show up at nearly every career stop!

Eric Clemons still enjoys using his broadcasting skills as an on-camera talent. He is a freelancer for corporate entities and now produces documentary films and educational projects, especially concerning African history and culture. Clemons enjoys spending time with his wife of over 30 years, Renita, and their children, Kyndal and Robert. He has closed the door on his pursuit to enter the realm of network TV play-by-play, and is very happy with his body of work, the professionalism and dedication he gave to his endeavors, and the light of hope his efforts may have given others who dream of chasing a career in this crazy business! He has happily and finally moved on to other callings.
