Alert: The new honey on Fox Soccer Report makes my ears bleed

mmmmm... honestly? who cares? she's hot and its better than watching Nick and Eric!

mmm Temryss Lane.... and it looks like she's single... we can dream!

The guy 'Jetski' kind of annoys me though, I mean, who calls themselves 'Jetski'... he sounds British not Russian!

 

could be - seemed to only trip on Heerenveen and Belenenses today - and who doesn't trip up on those.

 

I'm the only one who's noticed she's calmed down a bit and is doing better? she does have a very thick canadian accent, maybe some people are reacting to that? sometimes there's a flat "a" where most of us would use the schwa "a" in america and then there's the "o" being oh , as in oh-fense instead of the more conventional ah-fense.

at least she's there to be a newscaster and a professional, ol' tammy lane on FFF can't even read normal words in an email, there only as a gimmick for sure. and tammy knows this and is o.k. with it.

 

She was a bit better tonight. Even the saying of JuvenTOOS didn't really phase my ears. The power of viewer comments to FSC I guess.

 

until she said "HAVI" for Xavi. or "May-ORCA" for Mallorca. Even Jeremy St. Louis looks perterbed.

 

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that. Perhaps he knows like most of us that her 'sexy read' to the camera is a simple facade to hide the fact she has no idea what she is talking about. Sorry Lara - read sexy all you want but the elementary writing will give you away every time.

 

One of the things the new honey can do is during pre-production, ask her broadcasting partner how to pronounce certain names/words. If I were the recipient of such a query, I will be appreciative of her humility and willingness to learn, not that I know how to pronounce everything. That way, the new honey shows humility and ingrains herself to her mates ===> her on-air success/failure is now inexplicably tied to their willingness to help her.

 

It has seemed that she's changed a bit - more understated, more subtle - although she cranks it up to 11 every now and then. If her background in the game is accurate (and her adlibs make her seem light years ahead from where Terri Leigh was when she first joined) you would think she should know most of these names already and/or she's a bit stubborn with her pronunciation. I mean - saying "(H)ellas" when doing the Greek highlights or saying River PLAH-tey during Argentina highlights - I can't tell if she's being stubborn or trying to show some international sports street cred. But then it goes away when she says HAVI or CAG-liari. Maybe she's just a slow/stubborn learner.

The other thing is I don't know why it bothers me so much more than the others. I think because of the bubbliness.

 

Seeing her along with Terri Leigh on the same set. *sighs* Help me, Holy Ghost

 

It's sad that producers feel eye candy is the way to go. Give me honest commentary (man or woman) over a pretty face any day. If I want to look at a pretty face, I can pick up a lads magazine or just two steps on google...

 

sadly, knoeledge costs money.

 

Many of the highlight clips supplied by Reuters and SNTV (AP/IMG) come with pre-written scripts.

CNN International's World Sport had to use some of those pre-written scripts because the anchors and producers have limited knowledge of some of those sports.

I suspect that Global Sportslink (2000-2001) and FOX Sports World Report (2001-2007) used those pre-written scripts.

I would not be surprised if FOX Soccer Report is using some of the pre-written scripts as well.

 

lol are you serious? then what the hell do these guys do all day?

 

Work on pronunciations??????

 

Aside from Bob all the FSC guys are clowns. Given the realistic options, I'll take Lara anyday.

To each their own I suppose.

 

lol.

 

No, they write their own stuff actually. They have mentioned it in interviews themselves.

 

They write their own "wraps" and they edit many of the highlights themselves now that FSR is 100% soccer.

The video highlights services (Reuters and SNTV) do provide pre-written scripts to go with the video clips.

 

have you ever heard Nabil Karim do video clips? there is no way those catchphrases are coming from Reuters.

 

yeah - I heard one about Gerard Butler or something the other day. That's "Boom Goes The Dynamite" quality.

 

In the early days, the FSR guys (& gals) used the SNTV/Reuters stuff but now they are expected to have the base of knowledge and likely just use the pre-written scripts as a guide. I've seen those scripts having worked with companies that use those feeds and they are general to say the least. The 'color' comes from the anchor writing - Nabil, Derek, Jeremy, etc. though Lara may use some of that material since she is starting at square one.

From what I've heard - she is somewhat humble and DOES ask for help (which she obviously receives) but then will paint herself into a corner so to speak. It was obvious she went off script the other night w/JSL as he looked somewhat miffed at having to read the copy she decided to ignore. I'm sure he had a word w/her after the show about that one being the senior anchor and all.

I agree with a previous poster though - she will only go as far as her co-workers take her. FSR is a small operation and if either of the ladies there go 'diva', we could be looking at new faces in short order.

And I'm not sure that they are hiring 'eye-candy' as much as they are trying to diversify the talent. I'll say what I've said before - the openings are always open to everyone so if you think you can do better - apply. Criticizing them not having any knowledge of what they do on a daily basis to get the show out is just pure ignorance.

 

....hig-ooo-win?!?!? seriously!??

 

Come on, please. Enough is enough already.

Pretty straight forward premise to a 'Soccer Report' show. Introduce the teams playing. Talk through whatever incidents or goals are being shown. Move on to the next set of highlights.

WTF was the setup for the Tottenham game tonight??? Utterly cringeworthy.

'New honey' trying hard but not working for me, sorry. It's about the football, luv, not you.

 

I havent watched FSR in a while but I tuned in twice this week and noticed it was Nabil and Lara..is Terri Leigh gone along with the other guys?
