Who is her husband?

Gray, honey, it's too early to be cracking me up like this. So, now you're insinuating that being married to Dick Stockton got her where she is. Yeah, I bet Dick had a lot to do with Leslie being the ONLY woman inducted into the NFL hall of fame. I guess taking the cheerleader route to broadcasting is more credible and admirable. lol

its not sexist

in the real world women DONT play football-men and women are different physically and mentally

men are stupid-we sit in a stadium with 70000 other men screaming with passion following 22 men running around with a ball-yet when we get home we'd be accused of"not showing emotion" by our lasses heheh!

as bill shankly said"football is not a matter of life than death

ITS MORE THAN THAT"

I live in NZ where i think apart from america they have mixed teams at schools to play football-or GRITS TEETH..."soccer"
how pc can you get.....

men and women are different-period

though anybody who calls FOOTBALL-"soccer' should be shot

I could do without all commentators, personally.

Good lord, can't we even watch the opening/closing ceremonies of the olympics without Bob Costas telling us that we're seeing a whole lot of drummers? I can't hear them with your idiotic commentary.

Lebron James just dunked the ball? I saw that

That quarterback just got tackled? Yeah I saw that

She fell off the beam. That will cost her some points? Yeah I figured that out too.

GOOOOOAAAALLLLL? Tough to miss those.

it's all unnecessary.

progress has been made in getting Kiwi's to call it football.

if were talking crap commentators I'm nominating Tommy Smyth from ESPN
buffoonery is rife any time this man is near a microphone.

it is alright to have mixed teams as all kids who want to play should. I've coached junior teams (still do) and it is the kids attitude not gender that decides what sort of player they are.

No, of course not. I know women who can't talk sports all day, who live sports.
Few and far between . .. . But they exist.

Who says they never played?
Male commentators don't play every position and how many of them were ever linemen?

How's it a different topic? I may be wrong, but I don't think JB played football. So is he ONLY qualified, over say Leslie Visser who's been in the game for decades, cuz he's a man?

Did u wake up on the wrong side of the bed? My comments apply to ANYONE who has NOT played football. I don't know if JB played or not so I can't speak 2 that.



Graycap23 that is such a lame response. Sorry, but you can look it up at Wiki or Google.

Brown graduated from Harvard with a degree in American Government. A standout on the basketball court, he received All-Ivy League honors in his last three seasons at Harvard University and captained the team in his senior year. He was selected as a fourth-round draft pick by the NBA's Atlanta Hawks and a seventh-round pick by the Denver Nuggets. In 1996, Brown was inducted into the Harvard Hall of Fame.
JB's continued interest in athletics extends to his recreational pursuits. An avid golf fan, he has participated in several celebrity tournaments and plays whenever he gets the chance.

He is dedicated to personal fitness and adheres to a consistent workout schedule. With more than 20 years of martial arts training, he is skilled in Tae Kwon Do Karate, Wu-Shu Kung Fu and BANDO.

Ummmmm. . . no I didn't, but the topic of the thread is men vs. women sportscasters and you said that being in the trenches is the only way to know what's REALLY going on in football. rolleyes Unless my eyes are deceiving me isn't that what you typed? To which I responded that there are men that didn't play that are sportscasters, so why are they acceptable but women are not? Why the double standard?

BTW, I'll listen 2 Lisa Guerrero report on ANYTHING.



No one listens to her! She is terrible. She can't even read the facts right on the piece of paper she's holding. I was so glad when they got her off Monday Night Football. The cheerleaders have tits and are prettier.

Scott Erickson, whoever he is.

From Wiki,
Guerrero began her show-business career in the 1980s as a cheerleader for the Los Angeles Rams. After being a cheerleader for the Rams, she moved on to be the entertainment director for the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots. Later, in the 1990s, she moved on to star in Aaron Spelling's Sunset Beach. In 1997, she became a sports-anchor on Los Angeles' KCBS station and later KTTV station.

In 1999, she moved to the Fox Network, where she participated in such shows as Sports Geniuses, Fox Overtime, Fox Extra Innings and the Toughman competition shows. She travelled to Egypt to tape the special Opening the Tombs of the Golden Mummies. Guerrero also starred in the San Diego Chargers magazine-style television show. She also co-hosted The Best Damn Sports Show Period, alongside Tom Arnold and Michael Irvin, among others.

In 2003, she left The Best Damn Sports Show Period to join ABC's Monday Night Football television crew. Her performance on the broadcast was heavily criticized. She defended herself by saying that the show hired her with the intention of going in a totally different direction with the job of sideline reporter — personality-driven and feature-driven — then discarded all of that and told her to just do the job in the usual fashion. She said that she never would have taken the job if she had known that they would change their minds like that. [1] The following year ABC replaced her with Michele Tafoya.

The Los Angeles Times has called Guerrero, the hardest working sports reporter. The Hispanic Business Journal named her one of the 100 most influential Hispanics in America. On February 3, 2004 Guerrero married professional baseball pitcher Scott Erickson.

In December 2005, the then 41-year old Guerrero posed nude for the January 2006 issue of Playboy. [2] After her pictorial, Guerrero said that Playboy had asked her to pose for the magazine in the mid-1980s but as a young model it felt like crossing the line. [1] It was said director Michael Lesner had discouraged her from doing it at that time.[citation needed]

On June 15, 2006, Guerrero became a correspondent on the TV newsmagazine Inside Edition. Guerrero also became the co-host of VH1's game show The World Series of Pop Culture. Since Guerrero's arrival at Inside Edition, the show's ratings went up 17 percent. In February 2007, Inside Edition viewers got the chance to dress Guerrero up for the 79th Academy Awards. Viewers voted online to choose what Guerrero will wear to the show.

Personal life

Lisa Guerrero lives in Malibu, California and Lake Tahoe, Nevada.

She has posed for Playboy [2], FHM and Maxim magazines and hosted the Hispanic Heritage Month banquet at The White House in 2003. She guest-starred in Seinfeld, Frasier (the 'Odd Man Out' and 'Frasier's Imaginary Friend' episodes), The George Lopez Show and as scheming Francesca Vargas in NBC's Sunset Beach.

Recently, Lisa has appeared at Quiet Cannon banquet center at Montebello, California to honor the top ten students of each grade level for the high school Cantwell Sacred Heart of Mary.

I would give my opinion but I think only experienced sportscasters are qualified to give their views on sports commentary. Unless you've been in the trenches with a faulty mic. or an overly loquacious colour commentator you can't possibly know what it's all about.
