Linda Cohn was suggested by... absolutely no one. FWIW, both Yakov and I are not exactly fans of Miss Andrews either. She's what we call "sideline reporter hot". Meh.
Leaving aside the point that Linda Cohn is pretty sharp-witted, bringing a nice edgy, "chick who can hang with the clever wannabe-jocks-who've-settled-for-broadcasting crew," I'd argue that Jews are disproportionately represented among big-time female sideline reporter. We have Suzy Kolber, Bonnie Bernstein and (at least by marriage) Rachel Nichols.
Not exactly sure that Kolber is Jewish. There's some hearsay out there, but have not been able to find confirmation. And not sure if Nichols converted, so that leaves us with... Bernstein.
"I'd argue that Jews are disproportionately represented among big-time female sideline reporter. We have Suzy Kolber, Bonnie Bernstein and (at least by marriage) Rachel Nichols." WTF Are you talking about!?! That doesn't make a lick of sense!!! Any-who you guys Yakov and Zev you think Cohn is better than these smart and beautiful womyn Erin Andrews, Jenn Bram, Lindsay Soto, Jill Arrington!?!? Even with so much of that tooth to gum ratio!?!? YEESH! Okay... Well...

ReplyDeleteI believe Leslie Visser is Jewish too!
ReplyDeleteYep, she is, at least 1/4: http://www.lesleyvisser.com/press/paley_center/biography.aspx.html
ReplyDelete"Visser's father grew up in Amsterdam during the Nazi occupation and her grandfather was a doctor from a Jewish family"
