Say what you want but I've never met anyone that knows her on a personal level that has anything but nice things to say about her. It's the people that don't know her that judge and speak poorly about her. She's a great girl; quick witted, smart, funny, drinks beer(!) and loves sports... I don't think many guys would dislike a girl like that, whether you think she's attractive or not.

If she's decent enough looking, the bolded makes her hot.

QFT.

After TBL's statement her stock went way up! (it was pretty high anyway though)

Most guys eventually grow out of judging a woman solely based on looks.

Most but not all. There are still some of us shallow guys left. :D

[dsjunior1388 81]

Was that the same girl who was "discoverred" at the FSU game in the cowboy hat?

[chippa13 1844]

Vs gets a lot of unwarranted abuse. Other than Darryl Reaugh and the bimbos asking questions, their hockey coverage is actually pretty good.

Not to mention, the wall to wall coverage on Versus jumping into game after game is something the ESPN networks never did for the NHL during the playoffs.

It's tv! Is it that shallow that I want to be entertained by a good looking woman? If yes then I will happily plead guilty. But I will still want to be entertained.

That's fine, there are plenty of channels for shallow entertainment. Just leave the news and sports channels to competent professionals.

At least with Vs, it'd be nice if they didn't get players who sound like they've got an extra chromosome. They're insightful at times but not to the level you see ex-players/coaches/execs that cover other sports. Mike Keenan sounds like a nasally bitch and takes me right out of wanting to listen to anything they're discussing.

Anything is better than John Stevens when he's in there. Not hard to believe he was part of the Flyers organization when you hear him talk.

BTW, I hope the person who bought Reaugh a word-of-the-day calendar is getting fisted by Satan right now.

I agree. I think you lose some credibility when you hire someone to be eye candy and to just read off telepromters and ask pre scripted questions during a game. I would much rather see an ex player or coach who knows the game get the gig.

As long as we're not talking about PJ Stock on HNIC, that would be fine. Interviewing people is an art form that takes a lot of practice.

I'm not sure if it was Reaugh or not, but the commentator on VS called it "tedious" when Jordan Leopold got knocked out in the Pens game and was laying on the ice while the trainer checked for spinal cord injuries. I'm pretty sure "tedious" is not the word he actually wanted. At least, I really hope so.

Do not use words you do not know the meaning of on national television, especially when describing an injured athlete. It will make you sound like a retarded douchebag.

Roenick should be on VS and he should get as much airtime as possible.

Well he WAS my Secret Santa this year. With Turco going bye-bye I had to get him to replace Turcolicious with. And I'm not getting fisted, it's a 100 flex Grip Lite ;)

[mack 44]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

[gxc999 7]

I agree entirely, he's got credibility as a player and is fairly polished considering he only recently retired.

[Trooper 8]

I think "credibility" as a player is vastly overrated. You either know the game or you don't and it will become apparent if that's the case. Lots of people know the game but can't communicate, some communicate well but don't know the game. JR is a jackass and should have been suspended for his Eurotrash remark during the Olympics.

The girls between periods do fine, it's not like they're asking about financial derivatives, they ask some basic questions and let the guys talk.

[Fire0nIce228 1]

Yeah but its annoying when the player says something that could easily have a follow up (like..'i think we're playing well but we need to make some changes.."what changes do you guys need to make?")but instead the girl jumps to a question about airplanes or goats or a game from LAST week.

[BobbyD9 0]

The guy who does the interviews on Islanders telecasts (Rob Carlin) after a few soft tosses asked Coach Scott Gordon a follow up question and the guy looked at him and walked off. It would seem that if they asked tougher questions that might happen more often and you would not be able to fill the airtime. BS move as it is, it would be a concern of the media.

What does Miroslav Satan have to do with any of this?

Ugh, it's a good thing he's nearing retirement, only have to endure that joke for a few more years. :(

[chippa13 1844]

Oh, Miro Satan jokes will never get old. Plus, with how he has done in Boston it wouldn't surprise me to see him squeeze at least another bargain season in.

JR didn't make the Eurotrash remark, it was Milburry.
