    ESPN did her dirty. Always, always had mad respect for her broadcasting, her presence, and her knowledge of the game. I had _no_ idea she played before. Suzy is a true boss.

      ESPN has become a complete joke. Leftist politics have become the priority instead of good sports coverage. People turn to sports to get away from politics, yet ESPN is adding politics to sports. People have stopped watching as a result, so their response it to get rid of the people who are worth watching (Like Suzy) to double down on hiring political activists.

    I never knew any of this but I always thought she was uniquely genuine and passionate about the game. What a great story. I will never forget how classy and dignified she was during that particularly uncomfortable moment with a pretty drunk Joe Namath…a guy who I also have always loved and admired as a human being. Instead of being an offended angry victim, she actually behaved in a way that was incredibly kind and sympathetic to Joe..who she knew was going to regret making such a spectacle of himself on air. That it prompted Joe to give up a lifetime of drinking just shows how horrible he felt about disrespecting Suzy and himself. Suzy is an amazing sportscaster and this story needed to be told.

    She has some incredible knickknacks in that room. Did you see the display case with all the gumball football helmets you got out of vending machines at the supermarket or wherever? They came in those little plastic bubbles and you had to put the stickers and the facemasks on yourself. I had a ton of those as a kid.

    ESPN has two of the best female anchors who specialize in rough sports: Suzy Kolber for the NFL and Linda Cohn for hockey. That's not to say that women like Elle Duncan, Sage Steele and others (the list is too long for this), but Suzy and Linda are the ones that I associate most with North America's two roughest sports leagues.

    ESPN did Suzy so profoundly wrong. How the hell she gets laid off is simply beyond my understanding. The way she kept the Damar Hamlin situation on message, no speculation allowed, for instance. I so miss her NFL Matchup Sunday morning show of yore -- it was the best of its kind, period.
    The good news is: Suzy is tough as nails -- think of how perfectly she handled a very inebriated Namath; she was not going to pile on Joe, who clearly had a problem -- and will find impactful work soon enough.
    Me loves Suzy!!! (ESPN? A pathetic shell of its former self.)
