Here's my take:

GUERRERO FLUNKS FIRST TEST 8/6/03 - Stephen Nover

Is it too late to bring back Melissa Stark?

Lisa Guerrero is certainly not too hard on the eyes as the new Monday Night Football sideline reporter. But judging by her performance in Monday's Hall of Fame game between Green Bay and Kansas City, looks are about the only thing she has going.

Looks and maybe the ability to read a rehearsed question, that is.

What's with having to peak at note cards while doing an interview? This isn't some in-depth 70-inch New York Times article. It’s knowing a few statistics that almost all fantasy football players memorized long ago.

If you don't know Priest Holmes' numbers from last year, you have no business being part of this broadcast coverage team.

You can say it's too early to form an opinion, but I disagree. The tip-off on Guerrero occurred when she asked Holmes what he needed to do to get physically ready for opening day.

Holmes didn't go with a standard ‘jock’ answer. Instead he said, "Get paid, because I'm ready."

Guerrero blithely chuckled when hearing that, seemingly unaware that Holmes desperately wants a contract extension and a $10 million signing bonus from the Chiefs.

Stark - or any other serious reporter with a semblance of journalism experience - would immediately have seized that opening for a pertinent follow-up asking if the contract situation was much of a distraction. Even a question asking if he was more ready physically or mentally would have been acceptable.

It's the ability to think on your feet, ask appropriate follow-up questions and frame your question in such a fashion as to elicit as much information as possible that makes a good reporter.

Yes, it's only been one game. But do you believe Guerrero has these traits and abilities? You can say that she's just a sideline reporter. Yet, no sideline reporter draws as much attention as the one on Monday night.

It's another example of TV executives favoring looks and fluff over substance when it comes to broadcasting football.

After all, in this day and age of Terry Bradshaw and Chris Berman, there are some of us who watch football for football. There are other channels on the dial for looks and fluff.

Don't be surprised if, by the time the season ends, Guerrero joins Eric Dickerson and Marcus Allen as the worst sideline reporters of all time.

***not gonna disagree here (or agree) but i will say that after reading some of nover's kiss ass columns lately - you can make a case for nover being one of the worst reporters of all time, too. if nover spent less time on his knees kissing up to prominent vegas people and more time doing HIS homework people wouldn't be laughing at the crap he writes, too.

to do the sideline reporting. During cold weather games he could try on different Isotoners and shrug his shoulders for entertainment value.

I had no problems with Lisa and as you say it's easy on the eyes when you're watching 20-30 year olds strut all over the field after each tackle for 3 hours. It was her first sideline experience after always being in a studio or anchor desk format so give her some slack. It's not like I'm going to learn anything about football from her but with Al and John in the booth one doesn't need a super scout on the sidelines. How much did Phyllis George or Jayne Kennedy have to add to NFL Today when the female was introduced to football viewers?

Nover is just another mainstream media wannabe who is going to knock people doing a job he could only dream about.

Talk about a non-issue. Nover is getting desperate for materiel. If he can't come up with something a little more in tune with his readers, mainly sports bettors, with the NFL season around the corner, he is no better than Guerrero.

For Lisa not to show off her fake boobs was disappointing to me as a viewer. Why pretend? She is a terrible interviewer but that was not the reason she was hired.

I agree Wil,
If Novers idea of quality journalism is whining about Lisa Guerrero, then maybe its time to replace him! I say replace Nover with articles by Dickerson. They'll be every bit as informative, and i'll bet Eric willNEVER complain about a beautiful woman on the sidelines of Monday Night Football.
