While at Syracuse, Eagle joined WJPZ his freshman year and announced women's basketball games at the Carrier Dome.

[7] In his sophomore year, he was given more opportunities to call high-profile Syracuse Orange games on WAER, a student run radio station.

[7] Outside the campus, Eagle interned with then-recent graduate Mike Tirico at WTVH in Syracuse for three years.

A year later, he was made a TV announcer for SportsChannel, which later became Fox Sports Net New York (now MSG Plus).

During the 2010 NBA Playoffs, Eagle called two games on TNT, a likely move to promote him to calling national television broadcasts, similar to what Albert, former Minnesota Timberwolves play-by-play man Kevin Harlan and Knicks play-by-play man Mike Breen experienced.

And Eagle retains his roots to WFAN, occasionally serving as a fill-in talk show host on his old station.

In 2013, he called the international telecasts of the 2013 NBA Finals alongside Jim Spanarkel, his partner on Nets broadcasts on YES.

[11] Prior to the 2019-20 NBA season, it was announced that as a replacement to the recently eliminated "Players Only" broadcasts which occurred on Tuesday nights beginning during the second half of the season, TNT would instate a more traditional broadcast format to their Tuesday Night slate of games.

In fact, many callers (including prominent sports figures) continue to call him "Iron Eagle"—much to his chagrin.
