Cooz is a realist and knows what pays for what.  I'd rather not have to
listen to them either, but fact of life and all that...

She's appeared to me to be a nervous wreck all season long, fumbling and
bumbling over what is obviously just reading a script. Is hyper even worse
(I listen to the radio broadcast while I watch on TV usually)?

I'm curious, as a fellow female avid sports fan -do you find it as
frustrating as I do the women get used on sports broadcasts in general, once
they started to give women a chance. It's like a set-up to perpetuate the
stereotypes, either of brainless bimbos, or at best, that women simply can't
understand or care about the game like men. Most of them are obviously there
just for decorative and/or PC purposes and relegated to 'women's stuff' like
human interest stories. You can't tell me that there aren't women they could
hire who could do a great job, so why don't they?
