For every Tony Romo who is a natural you have a million others like Jemele Hill, Matt Millen or Bob Trumpy.

I think there are thousands of people in the industry who'd love to trade careers with any of those you mentioned. Regardless of how you/we felt about them, Millen and Trumpy were the lead analysts for their networks for years. Jemele Hill let her politics interfere with her work. She seems to have derailed her once promising career by doing that. She went from cohosting a popular afternoon talk show to co anchor of the evening Sports Center. She has nobody to blame but herself for being in the position of "pursuing other career opportunities.".

Personally, I was pretty indifferent to her as a reporter, but you can't help but respect the hell out of doing something like she does for 22 years.

 

Professional, photogenic, took the middle road often. 22 years is a great run in that business. She and her partner have a child now. But I assume they'll remain on TV, maybe even golf.

I always enjoyed Kelly's work and will miss her.

 

I was watching live when she made the Tiger comment and knew immediately that it was an unfortunate turn of a phrase that was said without any malice whatsoever. It is unfortunate that she was vilified for it.

 

I was also watching and completely agree. The phrase she used is extremely common in the south. I hear it at least once a week and often in a professional setting. I honestly do not believe most people say it with a full understanding of the meaning behind it. It's something they grew up hearing and have allowed to become habitual in daily conversation.

 

With that said, we're all pretty lucky not to have the worst moments of our lives caught on national television for the world to judge in perpetuity!

Kelly my darling, you are my sunshine;

When we're together I feel fine.

Your smile is so lovely; your hair is so clean;

You make me feel that the whole world is mine.

Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly,

Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, K-E-L-L-Y ...

Why? Because you're

Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly,

(pause) Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly,

Kelly of mine!

Okay she was a little monotone and rough. The limelight is not easy. Okay, I get it. She's like 48 years old and still reasonably attractive, right? This is the prime time when a broadcaster has enough experience to speak about the past having lived through it. Leaving when her input and experience would be of most valuable to the "average" viewer - this is very unsettling. There has to be more to this than what is being told in the media.

I hope you're not referring to "lifestyle rumors". I doubt the parent company would be bothered by that, even if true. Where there isn't smoke, there is rarely fire. Why not take it at face value... after 22 years, maybe she's just not enjoying it anymore. She made a good living, is worth over $5 million. Why not just do what interests her, or maybe just enjoy life?

From her farewell note, I would deduce that leaving was not her choice. Usually when it is they will talk about what they want to do/plan to do instead.

 

My guess is that NBC/Comcast wants a fresh new face. They are always chasing after the younger demographic for ad revenue reasons.

For everybody here ripping her as protected by Arnie, shes been there since day one and hes very loyal to people who are loyal to him. If all you can remember about her is the bad comment about tiger which was obviously just poor wording and her matt every interview that brought up an issue he was battling with then shes done her job. She was a pro through and through. If you guys wanted her canned for those things just remember tiger was doing a perp walk for a dui just about this time last year. Was not suspended and that incident has not been brought up once on any telecast of a tourney hes played in so far this year. lets not get on our high horse ripping kelly for those things. She actually really helped nick faldo get his chops on TV and open up and show us a different side of his personality.I get she wasnt everyones cup of tea but bringing up those 2 things a bunch of times... pretty petty in my eyes.

Reasonably attractive? How about still hot?

 

I think if we’ve learned anything from the short camera crew strike, we’ve learned how cheap and wanting to stick it to the employees that NBC can be. I think it’s all about money.

I don't know the context, but I tried to look it up in her wiki page today. She said "They should lynch him in a dark alley". Hard to defend when not knowing said context. It was mentioned this is a common expression in the South and wasn't intended as it sounded(?). It's certainly not common in the circles I travel.

It's Lara Cromwell time. And you may have noticed that Paige McKenzie has settled in, is now married, and looks like a serious broadcaster at the moment. Those are the two that come to mind. They need a lot more female broadcasters. The roster is by far outweighed by males and some just fail. I like the Champions tour and would watch a lot more if it weren't for Larry Watkins.

I thought she was kind of hot when she was younger.

Dude, I can't speak for you, but putting her broadcasting appeal aside, in my opinion, she's still plenty hot. Lot of women in their late 30's would love to look as good. Forget the fact she's ten years older then that.

Well, I agree that she's still rather attractive. But the years are showing. Its unavoidable.

She's a Myrtle Beach local, (from a very prominent family) so I always wanted to like her work. She sure knew how to suck up to Arnie... Her job was secure as long as he was around. LOL. Only thing more bland then her studio work though, was listening to her or Rich Lerner fawn over every player from the booth. She had a good run, nobody will remember her much after she's gone though.

 

This man's got a way with words. Succinct and distills right to the point. I like it.

A common expression in the South?? I don't want to turn this thread into that direction, so I'll just post a link - take it how you will. She did get suspended by GC for a couple weeks.

It was a mistake and she apologized for it directly to tigers face and he told her not to worry about it because he knows whats in her heart. He accepted it and moved on. it was a freudian slip. When Phil was winning the bellsouth in 2006 i believe by like 13 shots one of the broadcasters i cant remember who said " the only chance these guys have today is to kidnap phil and take him into a dark alley" stupid things get said all the time. She made an honest mistake and owned it. Tiger almost killed someone and/or himself a year ago and alot of people have completely forgotten/forgiven him. Its well past time to stop bringing that up.

I lost all respect for her when she annonced a shot by Tiger as the "shot of the year" .....it was a practice round shot, sheesh! ...only exceeded by Mark Rolfing declaring Tiger "fit" after watching him get out of his courtesy car in the parking lot at a tournament...ugh

 

Im biased, but for me, that guy can do no wrong. best on course guy ever really. Also a cancer survivor.
