Just one blogger’s opinion, but there’s way, way too much attention on Michael Phelps and his Olympic heroism in the pool and not nearly enough on the liberation of broadcaster Melissa Stark. Recall that the Maryland native once captured the Monday Night obsession of male football fans coast to coast. Then she left MNF for a middling correspondent’s gig at NBC. Then she disappeared into broadcast Siberia (MSNBC); here’s how the hosts at sidelineshotties.com put it:
“ABC blonde cutie Melissa Stark went from working Monday Night Football and the Superbowl to doing anchor duty for MSNBC. So basically she went from being seen by half the world‚Äôs population to being seen by Fred and Jane in Iowa.”
Well, NBC’s broadcast partnership with its cable sibling for the Olympics means Stark is out of very low rated cable news witness protection and back where she belongs: in high definition for about a billion sets of eyes. A gold medal moment indeed.

Hot.
I prefer that line to read:
“Recall that the University of Virginia graduate once captured the Monday Night obsession…”
Melissa Stark — UVA grad
Bonnie Bernstein — UMD grad
Advantage: push
Somebody’s donned weekend beer goggles. You might get a ‘push’ from Erin Andrews with Ms. Stark, but Bernstein? Can she even compete with Suzy Kolber? Stark actually shut down West Coast office buildings (en masse) during her MNF run. Husbands conned their spouses into elongated grocery shopping trips those nights — for some alone time with the sideline shrine. I don’t know that Bonnie has prevented any television viewing man from making a restroom break during a stoppage in play and her reporting.
Not all that much to see here:

Now you want UM broadcast talent, CNN’s Heidi Collins.
Just saw Lindsey Czarniak on the telecast interviewing the US Women’s Rowing Team.

Have none of y’all ever heard of Jill Arrington?
