Earlier in his career, he was a general reporter for NBC affiliate WJFW-TV in Rhinelander, Wisconsin (also serving Wausau), where a 2002 remote interview with then-Governor of Wisconsin Scott McCallum from Madison regarding cuts in state shared services in the market's Northwoods region ended with McCallum agitated about Barrie's questions, and calling him a 'dumb son of a bitch' with his microphone still hot and the satellite connection still active, thinking his connection to WJFW and Barrie had already been severed. McCallum would later apologize for the outburst. [3] [4] [5]

In addition to his SportsCenter duties, Barrie is the pregame and halftime show host for ESPN College Football Thursday Primetime with analysts Joey Galloway and Jesse Palmer. He is also a golf commentator for ESPN’s coverage of The Masters and PGA Championship.
