Lorrie Fair.. according to MLS Confidential.. Don't know what to think about this one just yet.. She's definitely eye candy and knows her soccer.. She appeared quite frequently on WIP radio in Philadelphia over the past three years and is quite good on the radio, however TV is whole different ball game.. Obviously she won't ever be as good as Wynalda was on the sidelines, but she will be (IMHO) infinitely better than the other chick (name escapes me at the moment) they had a few seasons back.. Should be interesting...
Booooooooooooooring. Who needs sideline reporters, anyway? Why do we need to hear the coach in the middle of the game say, "Well, we need to score a goal or two if we're going to win this match."
I have no problems with this. A) Lorrie Fair is cute. Not hottie hot like Mitts but really cute, like you wish your wife still looked like after she squeezed out a couple of kids. She's nice to look at but isn't so obviously hot that your woman gets miffed when you scope her or that it's so obvious why she's on TV. B) She's smart. They don't give degrees away at North Carolina, one of the better public universities in the country. And, as she's shown on her radio gigs, she's pretty articulate. C) She knows the game. Fair won a Women's World Cup in 99 and a silver medal at the Olympics a year later. She has over 100 caps, won three NCAA titles at UNC and was on a playoff team all three years in the WUSA, including a team that had the best regular season record in 02. D) She won't come across as a pompous know-it-all or have a women's soccer inferiority complex like Julie Foudy did when she was a commentator for the men's World Cup in 98. OK, I don't know this for a fact, I just hope it's the case. Plus, it gave me another reason to rag on Foudy for the bad job she did during WC 98. (Still, she wasn't as bad as Ty!)
Wynalda has been "promoted" to the booth where he will be doing color commentary, alongside play-by-play announcer Rob Stone.
...of crap. I would 10 times rather listen to a woman who is intelligent and knows her soccer, than see someone like Veronica. Eye candy is nice, but attractivenss is nothing without intelligence. Nothing is a better turn-on than a beautiful and smart woman, not to mention one that could school my arse on the pitch.
Veronica was a joke, actually she still is. She knows nothing about soccer, she was pure eye candy. Now they have eye candy who actually knows something.
Skank's got two standard definitions, and then it has a slang definition derived from the second standard definition: 1. The Skank is a dance related to Ska music. 2. Skank is a disgusting or unpleasant substance (like an oil slick on water). The slang definition is derived from the second definition above, and means a woman who has sex with a lot of people and spreads sexually transmitted diseases.
