Lisa Guerrero rips Patriots fans
Posted by Anthony Stalter (09/30/2008 @ 11:05 am)
As SPORTSbyBROOKS.com reported less than a week ago, former MNF reportor Lisa Guerrero is now blogging for the L.A. Times. In one of her first blogs, she takes aim at New England Patriot fans.
Let me get this straight: Boston fans suffered through 80 years of Red Sox disappointment but can’t sit through the first Patriots loss in 21 regular season games?
I, of all people, should not be surprised. From 1992 to 1994, I was the director of entertainment for the Patriots. Believe me, those bleak years were anything but entertaining.
Back then, they played at Foxboro Stadium, best known for having the worst field conditions in professional football, in front of maybe 20,000 fans, best known for urinating off the upper terrace and assaulting women in the dirt parking lot. Really!
In other words, this was a drunken, dirty, obnoxious crowd. I don’t mean that in a good way.
Those fans were an embarrassment. The team stunk — 6-10 in 1991 and 2-14 in 1992 — and there wasn’t a lot to cheer about. Remember Dick MacPherson? Exactly.
But isn’t that when true fans continue to show up … and know how to use the indoor plumbing?
Well, exit Hugh Millen/Scott Zolak and enter Drew Bledsoe/Tom Brady. Guess what? The crowds started showing up again.
It’s easy to be a fan when your team wins three Super Bowls in four years, but one loss at home in a couple of seasons and the rats jump off the sinking ship like Tom Brady jumped off Bridget Moynihan.
This past Sunday, when the Pats took a beating, their fans couldn’t take a hit.
In fairness to Patriot fans, anybody would have left with the way Ronnie Brown was shredded New England that day. But Guerrero brings up a good point and it’ll be interesting to see how loyal Pats fans are if the team starts to go down without Brady.
Lisa Guerrero now blogging for L.A. Times

Remember Lisa Guerrero? (See the photo to the right if you need a refresher.)
Well apparently the former Playboy pin-up and Monday Night Football sideline reporter is now blogging for the L.A. Times according to SPORTSbyBROOKS.com.
Inspired by one part T.J. Simers & one part Barack Obama (no, really), the former sideline strutter and Playboy pin-up has decided to lend her talents to the blogosphere. And in the first entry in her new column, modestly entitled THE FABULOUS FORUM, Lisa talks about her presumably favorite subject – herself.
Here’s a small sampling of Lisa’s literary skills:
When I told a friend that I’d be writing for the L.A. Times, she told her husband. His response was,
“Really? Did she get fat?”
Now I know from experience that the camera adds 15 pounds, but I had no idea that picking up a pen and pad would give me a big butt. (Ed: I like big butts, and I cannot lie.) However, one glance at the sportswriters in the Dodgers press box would confirm that theory.
When you’re hidden behind a laptop instead of preening in front of a camera, there’s a natural tendency to inhale a few more Dodger Dogs and let those pounds add up.
Riveting.
Guerrero promises that future columns will be “fueled by a strong cup of joe – but most strong opinions.” So, all you fat sportswriters better watch out – Lisa’s coming after you, and she’s not pulling any punches!
The over/under on how long she makes it: 90 days. The Scores Report is now taking all wagers.
15 Hottest Female Sportscasters
Posted by Anthony Stalter (09/12/2008 @ 5:04 pm)
SPIKE.com did something somebody should have done a long time ago: Have people vote on the 15 hottest female sportscasters.
Erin Andrews
The former Gator’s Dazzler dancer works for ESPN where she started as a reporter for the network’s National Hockey League coverage. She has since added college football, college basketball, college baseball and Major League baseball. In 2007 readers of Playboy magazine voted her “America’s Sexiest sportscaster”.
Leanne Tweeden
Leanne Tweeden is part Spanish, Filipino and Norwegian and got her break as a model after being discovered whilst working at Hooters. From 2000 – 2007 she was a correspondent on Fox’s Best Damn Sports Show Period. This year she is the host of NBC’s Poker After Dark. Also this year, as a part of Hooters 25 anniversary, she was named “The Top Hooters Girls of all time”.
Lisa Guerrero
Lisa Guerrero started her career as a cheerleader for the Los Angeles Rams, dabbled as a soap actress then moved into sports reporting. The Los Angeles Times named her “the hardest working sports reporter”. She’s best known as the co-host The Best Damn Sports Show Period, which she left in 2003. She’s now a correspondent on Inside Edition. In 2006 at age 41 she posed for Playboy.
I know a lot of people would vote for Andrews, but there’s just something about Leanne Leeann Tweeden that I can’t put my finger on. (Maybe it’s because she’s hot? I don’t know, I’ll have to do some more research…)
