Geez 2 pages already and no pics--you guys are slipping

She's way nicer to look at than O'Hara or McCarty.

Not so sure what that has to do with this bigmatt718 … suggest you do your own punching if that is what you mean.
If I did the punching I'd end you and I have too much going in my life to waste it on a gutless piece of **** like you.

My offspring would laugh at your baseless defense of this lady.
I get it now. Your Little Suzy or Tommy Boy put in for same or similar gig and didn’t get it. Whah, Whah, Whah.

Go spit at the wind.

Even though this hire is as a sideline reporter, I would argue that one of the best football analysts right now is a woman that never played sports in Mina kimes. She really gives well thought out detailed analysis. Knows more about offensive and defensive schemes than many of the male analyst that never played.

Not possible according to forum genius.

We realize Taryn Hatcher holds a law degree and played high school soccer. Beyond that what qualifies her for BTN - Rutgers sports? Maybe soccer ? Were former male athletes disqualified ? Or did BTN need a female face and take on the show?
While several sports analysts and reporters have never played the game(s), most of the greats have. One example is a guy who a long time ago ran a 4.1 40, still holds the NCAA record for tackles for loss and has the world record (which will never be broken) of 8' 1.5" in the high jump. I'm speaking of the late, great Howard Cosell.
I rest my case.

I'm wondering if an exception can be made and have a parallel thread where 90% of the posts aren't needed to fight an attention seeker.

I'm happy for Taryn... this is a coast to coast gig with a lot of new fanbases being introduced to her. It's about time that Rutgers alum get done air time on BTN.

BTW, she doesn't hold a law degree, so don't try to tar her with that brush. She graduated in 2014 with a double major in political science and journalism/mass media studies.

Big biker dude walks into a bar and loudly says ā€œall lawyers are a holes little guy at the end of the bar says,ā€ I objectā€. Biker walks up to him and says ā€œYou a lawyer?ā€
Little guy says no I’m an a hole

Why …it was a very honest take on what qualifies her? If you are trying to make me feel embarrassment for posing the question you are confused. She NEVER played at above high school . There are thousands of both men and women more deserving. I used to see her in Hawaii KHNL tv. It was done not because of her sports knowledge but to fill a box. I think she’s great but does not have practical experience in major college sports. The resume is lacking. Nice for Rutgers but it was only a week ago where names like McCourty, O’Hara were being proposed. Not as pretty? I will admit she does not lack for researching. But it was box checking time on a channel known for doing just that.
There are many male broadcasters who never played in college

I was going to add that a few times but Bob convinced me he knew way more about her than the rest of us

Bob gets facts wrong more often than not, it's comedy at this point. He'd find something wrong if BTN reeled in Kathryn Tappen from NBC despite being a student athlete during her time on the banks.

What qualifies you to staff a tv production crew?

You realize Taryn is a sideline reporter and not in the booth right? Right? She is more than qualified for her job, but keep digging the misogynist hole deeper and deeper. Bad look for you boomer

Nice job Bob of putting Rutgers fans in a negative light.


Naah, it just puts this site in a negative light since the misogynistic post in question was never deleted. Extremely embarrassing for all involved.

EDIT: How is this thread still going? Now we have another misogynistic poster (@Shelby65) questioning whether Taryn is "strong." What gives, @Richie O?

Hope Bob is banned from the board after that act of dipshittery. Anyone who causes the board to be the subject of ridicule on this magnitude deserves to lose the right to post on here anymore. Take it to TOS.
I can't agree with you here. Because I once posted some deeply sarcastic, satirical thing (I forget what I said) and it was reposted on Message Board Geniuses but without any of the context that made it so obviously sarcasm/satire.

I wouldn't have wanted to be banned for MBGs failure to recognize obvious sarcasm when they read it.

Also, if we banned Bob, then we wouldn't have rare fun threads like this that unite the entire RU forum community (in this case, in mocking Bob for his dipshittery). šŸ™‚
