mnf preview

Saints-Rams tonight! Today’s Times-Picayune sees something bigger than just football happening: “It’s not just a game. It’s a collision of ideologies, a clash of beliefs, mentalities and playing styles.”
The Monday Night Football site has lots of info up, along with their standard weekly Q&A with Melissa Stark. For the non-football fans out there, she’s the sideline reporter for MNF. She’s perfectly fine at the job — not great, but perfectly fine — but there’s a sneaking suspicion out there that her main qualification for the job is that she’s really, really cute.
Now, if I’m her employers at ABC, I’d be doing my best to get across the idea that she’s really very qualified, has a great football mind, etc. So why is the first question she gets in her Q&A “Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?” I doubt Al Michaels would get the same questions, or if he did, I doubt his editors would let him answer it.

  1. I agree that was a sexist question, but let’s be honest. She thinks pigskin means the football is made of pig. She just seems fine at her job because she’s hot.

  2. The football’s not made of pig any more?!? Has that damned Osama infiltrated every last sector of our society?
    Okay, so she’s hot — is that a crime? 🙂
