Danyelle Sargeant Speaks!
Media Gossip/Musings, Video October 28th. 2008, 11:16amDanyelle Sargeant on the Dan Patrick Show, just now: “Yesterday was bad. I had a migraine headache and stayed in bed for five hours … but there’s people in the world with real problems, and I am pathetic if I keep on dwelling over this. It’s embarrassing, but I can’t sit around and give up because of this … I didn’t even realize I misspoke. The producer said something in my ear, and we did it again. I spent that night in San Francisco with my boyfriend who lives up in that area. When I got back to LA, I got a text message saying, “oh, hang in there” and I said, ‘what are you talking about?’ And I called them and said, ‘how did that make air?’ I tried to avoid the internet like the plague for the next five hours.”
More later.

I really feel bad for her.. that was a taped segment that was never aired by Fox and shouldn’t have been aired by anyone else.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:23 am
wow. Fire her
“I heard your first phone call was to Bill Walsh”
October 28th, 2008 at 11:23 am
worst. interview. evar.
@cracker jack - her job is to know what she’s talking about. i have no pity for her.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:24 am
Bill Walsh is dead right?
October 28th, 2008 at 11:24 am
What did she say… no speakers at work.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:25 am
how is that misspeaking?
i think sargeant is a stupid cunt who only has her job because shes a woman
oops i misspoke
October 28th, 2008 at 11:25 am
he better be, otherwise that autopsy is gonna be a bitch
October 28th, 2008 at 11:26 am
First call - Bill Walsh
Second call - Kevin Duckworth
October 28th, 2008 at 11:26 am
… i just looked at that christiansingstheblues blog and the first entry is someone fucking a fat chick. what the fuck
October 28th, 2008 at 11:28 am
“i heard that your mentor bill walsh was one of the first phone calls that you made when you find out that you had the job. what does it mean for you to be the head coach of the 49ers?”
“well… uh”
“oh i’m sorry”
“yeah. yeah.”
“i’m sorry. wha- what did i s-… what was wrong?”
“
October 28th, 2008 at 11:29 am
She misspoke because she was speaking to someone on the 49ers and she said “Bill Walsh”. None of you have ever said something you didn’t mean to say because you were thinking of something else? Must be nice to be perfect.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:29 am
it’s beyond embarrasing!
the abject ignorance of the nfl that came out of her mouth was at best appalling. for the most part sideline reportes are useless. but there are a few out there who actually know the game of football (tracy wolfson, erin andrews, stacy dales, bonnie bernstein — hell even holly rowe seems to know what she is talking about) or at least do enough homework to fake like they know it in an attempt to produce a solid, professional job for the viewer.
what this sargeant chick did was a slap in the face to every female journalist out there who is busting their ass to do research and homework and inform readers/viewers if not educate them.
it was so bad i, like singletary, was speechless.
this “incident” may have done more to help rid us of sideline reporters than 100 columns from michael hiestand.
somewhere, lisa guerrero is laughing.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:30 am
Meh.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:31 am
Thank God Joe Buck wasn’t there he would have torn her a new asshole.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:32 am
well, given the fact she has a history of screwing up on the air…
October 28th, 2008 at 11:32 am
Really? She made a mistake and feels horrible about it. Let it go …
October 28th, 2008 at 11:32 am
I get Walsh and Shula mixed up in my head all the time. It isn’t that big of a deal. It was just kind of awkward…
October 28th, 2008 at 11:32 am
So what did she do?
October 28th, 2008 at 11:33 am
and boom goes the dynamite.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:35 am
did this eventually make it to air? or did Mike Francessa blow this whole thing up?
October 28th, 2008 at 11:35 am
it is currently sleeting/snowing in Philly and the burbs. not a joke.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:35 am
Yea, the same Joe Buck who commented during the NLCS that it was 2007 when Pujols jacked the homer off of Lidge..
October 28th, 2008 at 11:36 am
This video did NOT make Fox. Francesa put it on his show, and then it got on the net.
sorry to not explain … the next post that comes soon will.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:36 am
She said she apologized to the Walsh family and also sent a letter of apology to commisioner Rozelle.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:36 am
1.) Seems like a silly mistake. I’ll be willing to bet she doesn’t repeat it.
2.) Did this actually get aired during a broadcast? If not, why is it surfacing now?
October 28th, 2008 at 11:38 am
if the crypt cant hold back vincent price, i dont see how it could hold back walsh
October 28th, 2008 at 11:38 am
TBL, it’s sleeting/snowing here in Jersey. It doesn’t matter though because the ground is too warm for anything to accumulate, so it’s no different than rain.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:38 am
I think she should be shot.
/I’d still fuck her.
//Go Bears.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:38 am
ROTFLMAO!!!
you beat me to it. i was going to write about how she promised to call vince lombardi for some background research before her next game.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:39 am
Network wars.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:39 am
I once had a very prominent VP at Sony Music question why I wouldnt schedule a in-store appearance with Robert Johnson.
Johnson died in 1938.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:39 am
So ther eis going to be ANOTHER post about this? Wake me when it is PM Round-up time… or if TBL poorly chooses to slight UM while I am at lunch again…
October 28th, 2008 at 11:39 am
Who cares that she asked if he called Bill Walsh. Other than being a little embarrassing for her this is a non issue. She should have asked if he talked to Ditka not Walsh.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:39 am
Really? Dick move. He doesn’t have anything better to put on his show?
October 28th, 2008 at 11:40 am
That’s what she said
October 28th, 2008 at 11:40 am
I COULD KICK ANYONES ASS IN BILL WALSH COLLEGE FOOTBALL

serious
October 28th, 2008 at 11:40 am
captain +1 …. very good one.
She is waiting for a call back from Walter Payton also.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:41 am
And I can’t seem to find a job in market bigger than 189.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:41 am
teaser!!
October 28th, 2008 at 11:41 am
awful announcing has a breakdown of the network and legal issues involved here
October 28th, 2008 at 11:42 am
TBL doesn’t need to. rickrod is doing just fine all by himself… and the malaise and blue crowd who ran lloyd carr out of town.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:42 am
@IU Grad: is that supposed to be a joke? maybe the VP meant Robert Johnson, the BET guy.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:42 am
Wake me when it is PM Round-up time… or if TBL poorly chooses to slight UM while I am at lunch again…
You think TBL would miss the chance to piss you off and generate another 100 posts (50 by rational, thoughtful readers, and then another 50 by you)? Think again
October 28th, 2008 at 11:43 am
So when he called Walsh did it say “this number has been dissconnected”?
/Too Soon?
October 28th, 2008 at 11:43 am
Benji,
This was back in the early 90’s and Sony had released a box set of Robert Johnson called Delta Blues. And, no, he wasnt joking.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:45 am
How come no one’s bringing up that this is the 2nd time she’s totally screwed something up. Remember this? at the 130 mark.
http://www.fugly.com/videos/11173/danyell-sargent-makes-huge-blooper-on-espn.html
I don’t understand how someone like that keeps getting a job.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:47 am
Bottom line, if this was a male sideline reporter, this doesn’t make Francesca’s show or the net.
Her cursing on the air on ESPN is totally different. There were technical difficulties and she assumed that her mic was off by that point, which it should have been.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:49 am
I don’t understand how someone like that keeps getting a job.
quota
/yeah i said it
October 28th, 2008 at 11:51 am
cursing on the anchorwoman desk is kosher? cursed, care to chime in?
October 28th, 2008 at 11:52 am
Blaing it on a migraine is weak.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:53 am
i did!
what’s the old saying, assume makes an “ass” out of “u” [sic] and “me?”
October 28th, 2008 at 11:54 am
Cracker Jack are you fucking this chick?
October 28th, 2008 at 11:55 am
when i first glanced at your post i thought it said “bring it on… ” which is a different kind of migraine altogether.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:56 am
A couple weeks ago Matt Lauer asked Robert Kennedy Jr. how his dad was doing. HOW DOES HE STILL HAVE A JOB???
October 28th, 2008 at 11:58 am
cracker- Link?
/TBL’d
October 28th, 2008 at 11:59 am
While we are discussing, a couple years ago Bill O’Reilly tried to solicit Lufa phone sex, why does he have a job.
Also would have accepted a Marv Albert reference.
October 28th, 2008 at 11:59 am
Now you’re just being glib.
October 28th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
I dont have a link but it was on the Soup a week or two ago.. maybe they have it on their website.
October 28th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
I worked on newscasts and we were always told not to curse or do anything embarrasing because sometimes the mic would be on when they should be off.
It’s called being professional at all times. Something Seargant apparently has a problem with.
October 28th, 2008 at 12:11 pm
If Fox replaced her with Danyelle York, do you think we’d notice?
/Bewitched
October 28th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
A couple weeks ago Matt Lauer asked Robert Kennedy Jr. how his dad was doing. HOW DOES HE STILL HAVE A JOB???
Because matt Lauer has a 20 YEAR body of work, where he has interviewed Presidents and numerous other heads of state on a THREE HOUR A DAY LIVE NETWORK TV SHOW! LAST WEEK, HE WAS INDUCTED INTO THE NATIONAL BROADCASTING HALL OF HAME!
This crack drops an f-bomb on ESPN 300 at 2 AM, gets canned, gets hired by Fox, and doesn’t know if the greatest Coach in the history of the team she is talking about is live or dead??
THEY NAMED THE FUCKING FIELD SHE IS STANDING ON AFTER THE GUY!!

October 28th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
Also, he’s white.
October 28th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
How about Bryant Gumbel? Does he qualify as black, or is he “too white” for you?
October 28th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
Never heard of him.
October 28th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
Lauer also said “Obama bin Laden” a couple months ago. And I’m sure those are the only two on air mistakes he has ever ever made.
October 28th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
“Danyelle” - She should be fired for that hipster spelling.
October 28th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
TBL should be fired for spelling her last name wrong in the headline.
October 28th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
or that the singletary played for bears (i.e. ditka or buddy ryan was his “mentor”).
October 28th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
To not know that Singletary was a Bear and Walsh was a 49er AND Walsh is dead goes way beyond an on-air slip up and into the zero research, no football knowledge realm and for that she should be judged harshly. It’s not an accidental f-bomb, it’s a total lack of knowledge on the subject at hand. The best part in her explanation is the phrase “I didn’t even know I misspoke.” How the fuck, after having to start the interview over, does she not realize what was wrong with the question?
October 28th, 2008 at 12:44 pm
Lauer also said “Obama bin Laden†a couple months ago. And I’m sure those are the only two on air mistakes he has ever ever made.
It’s much funnier when this guy said it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APx2YJ-_jos
Two mistakes in 20 years that only you know about and no one else seems to? Pretty good batting average for ‘ol Matt I’d say.
We know this crack for two reasons, and both of them are so we can laugh at her. done
October 28th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
Here is what she was referring to, her mistake wasn’t saying Bill Walsh, it was saying that he called him after getting “the job” while technically correct, sounds more like she meant for the head coaching job.
http://www.mercurynews.com/49ersheadlines/ci_10772195
October 28th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
if, for example, lauer speaks to obama on inauguration day and asks obama if he called his mentor ronald reagan, then by all means please let me know.
October 28th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
The question clearly related to his role as head coach and to ask if he called Walsh about his new head coaching job is as boneheaded as it gets.
October 28th, 2008 at 12:54 pm
Had Obama publicly stated Reagan was a mentor of his? If not, then it’s not the same thing.
October 28th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
if, for example, lauer speaks to obama on inauguration day and asks obama if he called his mentor Karl Marx, then by all means please let me know.
/fixed for conservatives
October 28th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
ok cracker, we get it. You’re the boyfriend in San Francisco she’s fucking. You can stop defending her now.
October 28th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Isn’t cracker a broad?
October 28th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
1) how many football fans know walsh “mentored” singletary outside the few thousand who may have read that story?
2) many nfl fans remember singletary playing for the bears — the niners’ bitter rivals — in the 80s.
3) in general sports venacular, “mentor” = coach.
4) of course, a professional broadcaster would have prefaced that quesiton with, “mike, we know bill walsh meant a lot to you as an assistant with the niners… ” that simple sentence would have greatly softened the blow of her mistake. given her history, she isn’t exactly professional though is she? and this isn’t counting the fact she didn’t even know what she said was wrong.
5) to compare her mistake with lauer is laughable at best, and why stop there, why not throw in peter jennings or tom brokaw or tim russert? lauer has how many years/decades of solid top-notch work on his resume. lauer had done countless in-depth interviews with the world’s leaders. of course anyone working in the industry that long will have some screwups.
how long has sargeant been working? how long has lauer? best i can tell, sargeant’s only two memorable pieces of work are monumental fuckups.
October 28th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
This is exactly my point though. She’s been at this for what, 3 or 4 years? Cut her some slack, Lauer is a professional, doing this for as long as she’s been alive, you’re right, and even he makes mistakes. That’s all I was saying.
October 28th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
This is exactly my point though. Bush’s been at this for what, 8 years? Cut him some slack, Lauer is a professional, doing this for as long as he’s been alive, you’re right, and even he makes mistakes. That’s all I was saying.
/Obama’d
October 28th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Holy crap, I’m not even joking, but I was just looking at Matt Lauer’s wikipedia page and one of his first jobs is listed as a sideline reporter for ESPN. In the year 2036, Danyelle Sargent could be at CBS interviewing presidential candidates!
