He was a child prodigy, the sports reporting equivalent of Macaulay Culkin or Danny Bonaduce, growing up before our eyes and ears. His career break came as a third grader, when he so wowed an uncle, Pittsburgh sports-talk host Scott Paulsen, that the elder Paulsen decided to show his little nephew off to a Western Pennsylvania radio audience.
The local paper back home in Virginia’s King George County found out about the local kid doing Pittsburgh broadcasts, and offered the youngster a chance to write up his views on the sports issues of the day. That led to Paulsen being offered a regular spot on WUSA-TV called “Ken and the Kid” doing football picks with Ken Broo, then the sports director of the D.C. CBS affiliate. At 10 years of age, Paulsen was a major market broadcaster.
