Yes.. that's a sexist statement ...

disagree. had you said women weren't capable of doing that job, THAT would be a sxist statement

With Rachel Nichols, she at least knows the game, and you can tell she does her homework. You could sit in a sports bar and talk sports with her, and she'd be up to date on everything. The others are there because they have decent legs.

So Pam Ward looks good in a short skirt?

Sage Steele isn't bad

LOL!

Back to Rachel Nichols---Liney, besides seeming to be someone you could talk sports to at the bar, she does have a couple of other...uh..."assets" (ifyouknowwhatImean). Pretty, too, in a different way:



oops---wrong Rachel Nichols!

Try this one:

she left espn BTW

Yeah, I saw that a few months back. But to CNN (if I recall correctly)? Is CNN trying to become a bigger player again in the sports world? I remember when they had a damn good nighttime TV sports report back a couple of decades ago, with Fred Hickman and the late Nick Charles, I used to watch it regularly because they did a better job than ESPN generally did with SportsCenter back in those days.

Fox and NBC are gearing up also. Looks like there might be some competition finally

NBC just recently grabbed Michele Beadle, one of my favorites from ESPN's SportsNation.

I can't wait for this!

Bet the Championship final score will be 1-0.

Phil Mickleson wins the British Open. Mickelson came into the final day down five and came out of it the winner by three.

[hodgkal]

Mickelson - winner now of 5 majors - 3 Masters, 1 PGA, and 1 British Open. Plus 6 runner ups at US the Open. A very popular winner too.

When I watch these things it is usually to hope Tiger loses. No exception today.

[lineygoblue]

I was watching for the same reason, Doc.

The swoon of Tiger Woods for me, is akin to watching Michael Jordan launch an air ball.

Love it.

[WingsFan]

Something about Mickelson I like watching, I guess being a lefty and seems like a good guy also. The U S Open was very frustrating again this year, so this makes up for it. Same here about Woods.

Beatriz and Paula got better cabooses.

Beatriz and Paula got better cabooses.

Still watching Thomas The Tank Engine, Dennis? I confess that I occasionally catch an episode or two with my granddaughter, but she's just 4. What's your excuse?
