    It's official. The Eunuchs at NBC Sports possess the cranial capacity of a canary and the ability to publicly mire themselves worse than a dung beetle.

    I guess some form of self flagellation resulting in retardation is a prerequisite to be considered for a managerial position there.

    Meanwhile KRON is apparently doing a set remodel. They only had that set for like 5 years after having the previous one for decades and now it's changing again?

      Um, they did a set/newsroom remodel in the early 2000s. I worked there at the time and watched them go over budget and mess up on even the simplest things; for example, when they finished they realized they had designated no desks for the writers! ("Oh, yeah, guess we forgot about writers," the EP at the time, Chris Archer, told me.)

    Maybe she should have posed with her blouse cut open about 6 inches lower?

    How could somebody who spells her name "Kelli" hope to make it in sports?!?

    Maybe she could take over for Amy G. She just plain sucks at interviewing. There's no flow to her. She isn't natural.

      Totally agree. Amy is horrible and Kelli no doubt would enliven the between innings segment. And, she is much easier on the eyes.

    Kind of feel bad for Kelli Johnson. She is doing Giants pre and postgame tonight, but I wonder if this is her last day working there. That's really too bad.

      Agree. She was professional. I remember the all-woman panel interview that included Kelli--how difficult it is for women to thrive in the sports media world and reading in this blog how she was treated by Papa. I hope she finds work soon.

    NBC Sports just committed suicide. No K.J.
    Go center span and jump clowns!

    I feel bad for Kelli, she dedicated 18 years of her life to NBC Sports in various markets and this is her reward. She's smart, funny and does her homework on the Giants
