does CBS still use sideline reporters for football games? Must be the only thing that would be taken from the game and no one would even notice.

yes.

Sorry about that, Hawk…I knew it was a big 10 school not named OSU or Michigan.

She doesnt’ bother me as a sideline reporter. But I really don’t see much use for sideline reporters other than eye-candy and she certainly isn’t that. I do frown when I hear her voice instead of SVP’s or even Herbstreit’s.

She was on the Dan Barriero show in Minneapolis last week. It’s safe to say that her political views would conflict with the majority on this board.

And this only adds credence to the rumor she’s going to be on local radio up here. Wonderful.

Actually think she does a good job, period whether on sidelines or on the radio. She is listenable and knowledgeable. She admits when she doesn’t know something, then actually acts like a reporter to ask the necessary questions.

What’s the story on the beer pouring and fight starting? Sounds like she’s really my kind of girl…

She’s awful on the radio

exactly. she drags down tirico’s show when she subs for SVP. she can only talk about two sports to a limited degree: nba and nfl (though i can’t truthfully speak to her knowledge of the nba because i’d be lucky to name six players. for all i know she knows the nba better than peter vescey).

she’s well-programmed by the disney mice to only speak on the same pap bspn usually shovels out (which is what makes svp and tirico good because they stray from the party line).

the last straw for me with her was when she began cooing about how she wanted a “storyline” for the world series and was getting wet over “manny playing the red sox.”

UGH!!!

when i hear that nasal socal voice i quickly turn it off.

She only pours a beer on fans at Minnesota/Michigan games, tommy.
