About time and well deserved.
Beth Mowins is the first woman in 30 years to call the NFL on TV

...I didn't even notice there was a woman calling the game until I saw this thread....
I sort of have the game on "background noise", checking in from time to time to see the replay when there's a good play. I noticed she did a good job analyzing those replays. What did she say about Stewie?Seriously? Do you have toe game on mute?
She has already made two Breanna Stewart references.
My sister likes Jessica Mendoza too.Beth is doing a great job. I didn't even notice there was a woman calling the game until I saw this thread.
I like Jessica Mendoza too. She was a tremendous collegiate softball player (multiple AA at Stanford, and still holder of many college offensive records) and Olympic champion, and really knows the MLB game.
While not commenting on her fine game calling
(at least to these ears), I thought that someone (or more than one) at ESPN had done a poor job of sound-checking her mike and the quality of sound delivery vis-a-vis background noise.
It was poor to the point of sabotage.
I caught some of it. I always like Mowins' work on both basketball and football. Shame they stuck her with Rex Ryan. I thought he did poorly as the color commentator.
This morning Rich Eisen, now on Fox Sports Radio, trashed Rex Ryan's MNF debut pretty good. Competitor though, so hard to accept it as totally objective. I thought Rex did "OK." Hard to be his regular Hard Knocks X-rated self on MNF broadcast.A guy who knows what he is talking about, Trent Dilfer said: “She was great, very hard job and she killed it,” Dilfer wrote. “No comment on the rest.”

They played a little of Beth and her side kick on Imus in the Morning and mocked it. Part of 2-3 others who were made fun of. I was not really listening at the time, so I can't give you chapter and verse.
What a surprise. A negative reaction from such a putz is a +.
