Sportscaster

The Resume

Why she might be annoying:

    She has been accused of race baiting on several occasions.
    Although well known in the sports media world, she mainly came to national prominence after being the subject of an unflattering leaked recording by Rachel Nichols in which Nichols appeared to suggest she had been elevated as a response to ESPN's 'crappy longtime record on diversity.'
    She tried to use the incident as leverage to get 'Stephen A. Smith money' but the two sides couldn't come to an agreement, resulting in her getting quickly snapped up by NBC.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She played volleyball and basketball for the Georgia Bulldogs.
    She was named to the All-SEC volleyball team three times.
    She first came to sports fans' attention when she remained cool after being snapped at by Nick Saban over a post-game question about his two quarterbacks.
    She responded to the controversy over Nichols with class, saying in a tweet: 'During the dark times I always remember that I am in this position to open doors and light the path that others walk down...Remember to lift as you climb and always KEEP RISING.'
