Beadle to NBC

The author of the ESPN book says it's done, but for whatever reason no one's publicly confirmed it yet.

Beadle is an excellent talent for what she's asked to do. She's good looking enough to intrigue guys but doesn't come off like an ice queen. That's a valuable skill in TV land.

 

Any word on when NBC plans to hire Matthew Barnaby?

 

He will be Beadle's driver

 

I'm guessing ESPN wanted to keep her -- and make her put in some hard hours on a variety of platforms, packaging it as "exposure." Translation: Make her the female Scott Van Pelt, who's doing one job too many at ESPN, at least.
