    Well, she is certainly more of a journalist, commentator or comedian than you'll ever be, so there's that

    Nolan is the overbearing but sometimes funny Boston sports fan you can find seated behind you at any Bruins game who just happens to be an attractive young woman. It's a tough fit, because Simmons kind of cornered the first part of that act a long time ago.

    Yeah this right here basically sums up how people jump to stupid conclusions around here and take things out of context. Well done

    You should Google better; you might actually find something funny, which you are obviously incapable of creating on your own.

    Comedy is really hard to get right, and one of its inherent dangers is that when it goes wrong, it goes really wrong. (I am not telling you something you don't know.) I agree with you that nightly makes it tougher. So much material to produce. Weekly is probably right, with special appearances around big events, maybe. But for the life of me, I can't figure out how you have a funny, smart, attractive woman under contract and you don't have her on the air for... What's it been? Five months? Yet you find a prominent place for a ghoul like Bayless.

    I don't know anything about anything, but I'd love to know the whole story here.

    Sexual harassment. Abrupt firing of Horowitz. Attractive young woman in Katie Nolan who has not been on air. There might be a workable math formula in here.

    Yeah, I'm not sure guessing at such things is a good idea.

    I will say that it would probably be better, career-wise, if she were a huge fan of LA or Chicago sports teams.

    You don't think The Simpsons (and more specifically that line) is funny?

    Can't help where you grow up as a fan.

    Nope. Just ask someone from Buffalo.
