[1] Due to his father's job as a personnel manager for Traveler's Insurance Co., Broussard and his family moved often during his childhood.

A standout football and basketball player at Holy Name, Broussard was inducted into the school's Hall of Fame in 2016.

[4] He worked there for four years before moving to the Akron Beacon Journal where he started covering the NBA, spending two-and-a-half seasons with them as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat writer.

In 2004, in addition to his writing duties, Broussard began making regular appearances on ESPN as an NBA insider and analyst, and occasionally as a panelist on First Take debating sports topics with Skip Bayless.

In April 2013, Broussard was criticized for comments he made on an ESPN Outside the Lines program about NBA player Jason Collins coming out as homosexual.

He has stated that he left ESPN because the network's offer to return would have relegated him strictly to a reporter's role.

At FS1, Broussard is a regular panelist on Skip and Shannon: Undisputed, The Herd with Colin Cowherd, First Things First, and Lock It In.

In 2023, Broussard collaborated with The Institute of World Politics Chair of Law and Human Rights Matthew Daniels to release a six part Bible study based on the life, teachings, and biblical principles of Martin Luther King Jr. endorsed by Andrew Young and distributed by Urban Ministries and a subsidiary of HarperCollins.
