Larry McCarren

Laurence "Larry" Anthony McCarren (born November 9, 1951 in Park Forest, Illinois) is a former American football center who played for twelve seasons in the National Football League with the Green Bay Packers. During his time with the team, the Packers compiled an overall record of 71 - 99 - 5. He earned the nickname the "Rock" after he started 162 consecutive games, which is the team's fourth longest consecutive games start streak as of May 2008. He played in two NFL Pro Bowls in 1982 and 1983. He was inducted in the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame in 1992.

In 1988 McCarren became the main sports anchor and sports director of Green Bay's WFRV-TV (Channel 5), a position he held until March 2012, when the station announced he was departing. He hosts "Larry McCarren's Locker Room" during the NFL season, which includes player interviews, highlights, and breakdowns of game film. McCarren began as a color commentator and game analyst on the "Packers Radio Network" with Jim Irwin and Max McGee in 1995, and has been teamed with play by play voice Wayne Larrivee on radio broadcasts since 1999. He was named the Wisconsin Sportscaster of the Year in 1994, 1996, 2002, and 2007 by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association.

In July 2012, McCarren began to provide game and team analysis via the eastern Wisconsin stations of Journal Broadcast Group, including WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee and WGBA-TV in Green Bay, which currently are the official production and station/pre-season partners of the team; McCarren was already employed by Journal through the Packer Radio Network, which has its flagship at Milwaukee's WTMJ (AM). It is unknown yet if a Locker Room-type program will be programmed by Journal.
