Amy G...

....is a BOAT ANCHOR on the Comcast Giants Games...Where do they get these people? There are so many talented women broadcasters out there and they come up with Amy G-I'm Terrible?

You can tell that Kruk and Kuip couldn't care less about what she has to say....

They found someone who actually makes Cammy Blackstone look good!

Hate to pile on, but it's true...Poor her...incredibly in the wrong spot. It's like she came right out of college...

On the other hand, Jaymee Sire with the A's is great. Adds good insight and fits the part perfectly...

I can't imagine Amy G has many fans...

Comes down to the bottom line.....Budgets!
You get what you pay for.

Most, but not all, TV gals on "the sidelines" of a sports event provide
fluff: How can we forget that infamous December 2003 interview with
Suzy Kolber interviewing Joe Namath?

Here's a Virginia Tech person's view of male & female sportscasters, going
back a few years...pay particular attention to Page 26:

Gary Rabbinich mentioned Amy G. the other day. He said he saw her before a game last week -- KNBR Day at AT&T Park -- and went over to say hi.

Amy G. gave him the brush, I believe with a dismissive wave of the hand.

G-Rad laid it off to her being young and concerned more about preparing for her day's work.

Wow...Radnich refuses to bag on her the few times he has a chance to. So if that is the case...I don't feel bad for Amy G. at all...

Exactly right. But I think it's also a matter of courtesy, politeness and professionalism. It sounded to me like she "big timed" him -- "I'm too important to be bothered right now."

(That's my impression -- I wasn't there to witness it.)

She recently started wearing glassed on camera and she started to sound smarter. I love her. Would rather look at her than Kruk or Kuip or Greg Papa

I think I saw Geroge Bush with glasses on the other day as well...

With Radnich's KNBR simulcast beginning this Fall on Bombast Sports Net,
I can probably understand why he would not bag on her...
