Wolfley is the man.. He makes listening to the games great..

I do like Wolfley, but I really think it's Dave Pasch that makes listening to the games enjoyable. I guess you could simply say that they work extremely well together.

Hottest Sports Reporter - Female Perspective

I've seen the comments about her dress, her persona. Her 'deserving' this.

First, let's agree this is her shtick. It's what earns her the extra bucks, makes her popular. And it is effective.

So I would agree, she has to expect catcalls, snide comments. If she didn't get the wolf whistles she'd need to go home.

But there is a line, somewhere, that shouldn't be crossed.

Exactly what happened at the Jets facility we may never really know. The idea of coaches starting a fake pass drill, perhaps crowding her, scaring her, sounds awfully high-school to me.

It does seem that her actually saying she was uncomfortable hurts her more than anyone. Surely the 'hottest sports reporter' is not going to be so welcome anywhere if there is a cloud of 'she might cry harassment' surrounding her.

Witness her statements afterward. "I must say that I don't hear anything that is in a sexual way," Sainz told "Today" host Meredith Vieira. "I'm not the one who say the charge or try to involve all of the team in this situation."


To me, the fact that she said anything at all means it must have been pretty blatant. Anything less she would have been quite capable of handling. Add to that the realization that her career, more than anyone else's, is the one to suffer.

Somehow I doubt the Jets front office is amused.

WNBA and Womens Tennis DO NOT allow men in the locker areas
False.

The WNBA allows 15 minutes after the game. All reporters. I don't know if they allow any reporters in dressing rooms for tennis but I've never seen anyone interviewed there. If they do, in the US, they HAVE TO allow access for both sexes.

Years ago there was an incident where a player was accused of being rude to a female reporter in the lockerroom. I'm blanking on who the player was but HBO had that Inside the NFL show on at the time and they interviewed some of the players on the team about that.

One of the guys brought up a very good point, he said the problem is they don't take into account that we are human beings. For example one player said I'm a very religious person, I'm not at all comfortable with anybody male or female in the locker room when I'm in the shower or in a towel after taking a shower. Especially so if it's a woman. there's absolutely no reason they can't wait for us to get dressed, reporters don't belong in the room until we're dressed and I can see how incidents like this happen.

Now in this case she wasn't in the locker room, she was on the field but it's the same sort of thing to me. There really isn't a need for the media to have that level of access.

Yes she was a once a Sports Reporter from Buffalo...!!! But cannot remember her name. It is really to bad that women are just treated like meat when it comes to NFL Football or sports in general. Just look at what happened this year to Hanna Storm for he ensemble on ESPN.

A hot woman, wearing the most provocative dress, in a men's locker room with naked sportsmen does not want to be called things and harrassed... umm... ok... I get it. What is wrong with this picture. Yeah, men need to behave as if everything is normal.

... It is really to bad that women are just treated like meat when it comes to NFL Football or sports in general. :mulli:
First, full disclosure - Despite being a 71-year old bald guy, I must confess that looking at a hot women makes my day. (It is what it is. Let's not take all the fun out of life).

That said - If a woman and her employers want her to be judged on the basis of how hot she looks, let them be up-front about that. The TV news and sports shows operate on a double-standard. (Think about it: When's the last time you saw an ugly woman reporting on location or from the sidelines. Bob Raismann of the NY Daily News referred to this as the networks "pimping out their female reporters").

Lost in all this is the presumed overall objective of having reporters in the first place - The gathering of news.

Telling viewers, listeners and readers: what happened...how it happened...where it happened...why it happened...what it's like...and why we should care. There are many female sports reporters who fill this role quite admirably (like Andrea Kramer, Jody J, Suzie Kolbert, Suzyn Waldmann and Hannah Storm)- & who earn the respect of players, team officials and the public alike (in addition to looking pretty damned good).

My point - judge them for why they're out there. If they're supposed to deliver the news, how well did they do it? If they're out there to be twinkies or hotties, then stick an elbow into the ribs of the dude next to you; but don't expect them to be Walter Cronkite.

As for the Jets or any other team - and their actions toward female members of the media - perhaps they were right about whether or not they were dealing with a legitimate news-gatherer or a "twinkie", but the way they act says a lot more about their own maturity (or lack thereof) than it does the targets of their ridicule.
