Wow! I'm sorry, I get she's eye candy, but she seems like about as big a sports fan as my grandmother. Not well knowledgeable. Obviously she is if she's getting hired by ESPN, but my point stands. I'm thrilled to see her go, I just wasn't a fan. But Jesus, if that means the even bigger moron Dan Hellie takes over. Yikes. Let's face it, ever since Arch Campbell, George Michael and now Bob Ryan left, this damn network is a farce. I gave up on it totally after Ryan left, and should have done so after they freaked over Arch and George. May this network finally die, die, die the way it deserves to after how it's treated it's core talents.

Anyone who went to any of the Red Sox fixtures back in 2009 (the three biggest-selling home dates in Nats Park history) will have seen the worst-case scenario - the twerpiness was so heavy you couldn't cut it with a chainsaw or blast it out with C4 or Semtex.

It could get a bit anti-intellectual in there at times (OH WOW MAN DID BRIAN ZIPPERMAN JUST HIT A TOUCHDOWN???) but I can't see it getting as bad as a Red Sox Nation invasion. No one does insufferable bandwagoning (without the boorishness/edginess of, say, Red Wings or Penguins hockey bandwagoners) like the legions who consider themselves part of 'Red Sox Nation' simply due to having attended some fancy-pants prep school or university in that region (but who, prior to October 2004, would have been hard put to name anyone on the Red Sox roster).

'Red Sox Nation' was fun during the 86-year drought, all the stories about the Curse of the Bambino, Pesky holding the ball, Buckner's grounder-heard-round-the-world etc...it is perhaps unfortunate that the drought ended when the city generally was having an 'up' on the sports front - several Patriots Super Bowl victories during that time, the Celtics ending a two-decade drought of their own, and now the Bruins winning their first Stanley Cup since Bobby Orr's heyday. Today they're simply the most entitlement-besotted fandom in sports.

Washington, on the other hand, doesn't have all those championships - apart from the local soccer teams, no one here's won anything since Super Bowl XXVI. And then factor in the transient nature of this area, with many people arriving here from outside the area who keep up loyalties to their old hometown teams. We may get mildly twerpish bandwagoners but it won't be Red Sox Nation.

[While I'm on the subject of Red Sox Nation - lamest T-shirt ever, seen a number of times round Nats Park, most recently during the Orioles series - a white Strasburg T-shirt with the number 37 using Red-Sox-jersey typeface. Very poor taste, in my opinion.]

 :clap: :clap: :woop: :woop:

I feel the same way about Boston fans and Pittsburgh fans in general. Pirate fans are excusable, they are an ever worse off bunch than us lol...

The Men and Women Terps did give us bball titles, so we did have that... UMD is close enough to D.C. to count.

That's another one in the book for ESPN from our area. They took Sarah Walsh, Sage Steele and now Lindsay Czarniak. ESPN probably pays more and for a lot of people that is the place where they want to end up working. They'll probably have her doing ESPN news or covering NASCAR.  :rofl:  They also took Bram Weinstein but he doesn't count.

That should make the rednecks happy. She used to do NASCAR before G Michael brought her on board.

Didn't know that.    I'm not a fan of hers.   In fact, I don't think much of any of the local sport's anchors (at least their news segments).

I don't even know who is currently doing channel 7 but the dude from channel 9 is awful and probably the absolute worst.

She's pretty cute. Erin Andrews, while overrated, is still the cream of the crop, but Nix is awesome.

I'm not disputing that. I just wanted to know why PANatsFan likes her.

Not a big deal but looked at mlb page on ESPN and didn't see a mention of the game and streak. The A's had a page talking about their 6 game win streak and how weeks is doing good.
