Outside of football, he is also a commentator for the Discovery Channel series BattleBots and podcast host for Jomboy Media.

Rose, who was born and raised in Shaker Heights, Ohio, an eastside Cleveland suburb, attended University School in Hunting Valley, Ohio during high school and spent his childhood summers at North Star Camp.

In 2004, Rose was a fight announcer and narrator on the reality sports series The Next Great Champ.

In addition, Rose was a ringside commentator for Golden Boy Boxing in 2012 airing on Fuel TV.

On March 21, 2012, it was announced Matt Vasgersian would become the new pre-game host and Rose would no longer be working with the network.

Rose has been criticized for appearing to be too friendly[3] with players he has interviewed during Fox's baseball coverage.

For example, during the 2009 World Series, Rose referred to Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees as "Jeets".

One year later during the World Series, Rose referred to both Brian Wilson and Tim Lincecum of the San Francisco Giants as "his friends."

[6] In 2015, Rose became a play-by-play announcer for ABC's revival of the robot combat series BattleBots, joined by UFC commentator Kenny Florian.

The show was rebranded as “Football Today” in August 2023 with Bobby Skinner & Justin Penik.
