Ordell Braase was a defensive end in the NFL. He played with the Baltimore Colts throughout his career. During his football career in Baltimore, Braase also worked as a sportscaster with WMAR-TV, and performed in commercials for Dixie Cola, even singing their jingle.
Was co-host of the popular 1990s program Braase, Donovan, Davis and Fans on WJZ-TV in Baltimore with fellow Colt teammate Art Donovan. The trio talked more about Art Donovan's fabled stories than contemporary NFL football, but the show held high ratings in its time period.
