A pretty face which came and went.
I'll stick with Storm in terms of her knowledge and longevity.
However, George did precede Storm.

I'll stick with Storm in terms of her knowledge and longevity.
However, George did precede Storm.
Miss America from Denton Texas, national TV football analyst, actually knew her stuff
irv cross was also on the show with her I believe he was the 1st black to have such a position
Covering the NFL for CBS over a 9 year span as the first woman to do so is came and went? Tough crowd.
Even Storm called her a trailblazer.
Phyllis George, Trailblazing Sportscaster, Is Dead at 70 (Published 2020)
Four years after being crowned Miss America, she became a celebrity, and drew criticism, as a co-host of the CBS show “The NFL Today.”
OK guys, I'll concede, Phyllis George blazed the trail for Hannah Storm and others.
Yeah, I got it wrong. I could play the "I was hacked" card like Jay Williams did when he tweeted that
the Celtics hired their first person of color HC team history. Doc Rivers, ML Carr, KC Jones, Satch Sanders, Bill Russell for Christ's sake in the late 60s. But I fess up.
Jay Williams must have dirt on someone because he sucks behind the mic.
Jalen and Woj are the best in the business.
I was commenting on your horribly strained simile or metaphor or whatever that was. VBG
Eh. I give her a break because the whole format of that show is garbage. Way too many cooks in the kitchen.
That's nearly every ESPN show that's specific to a single sport. The more people involved on camera, the fewer sports associated with the show,. Which also means I am less likely to watch it.
All NBA shows are trying to be Inside The NBA and their format. I personally think almost all ESPN commentary shows are garbage except Jalen and Jacoby. (Jalen is the best in the business).
Highly questionable, etc is like watching a group of Ivy League band camp rejects. No offense to anyone, but I do not want to hear them talk about sports.
NFL Live is equally as bad as Inside the NBA. Single sport with one person in studio trying to control and moderate a bunch of people vying for screen time against each other.
You sure that wasn't the Kentucky Colonels? ABA?
Yes, the guys that owned the St Louis Spirits were the ones that really made out getting a % in perpetuity of the NBA . I think the NBA finally bought them out but that was better than a big oil well in your back yard just bringing money in.
1/7 of the annual TV rev share money of the ABA teams that came over or something like that.
Yeah they were getting like 2% overall. I think the 1/7 was just the ABA teams that joined. They sold out finally for 500 million and I think they/heirs still get a little trickle in but likely the greatest deal in sports history .
That's it.
There's even a connection to Hannah Storm. Her dad was Mike Storen, GM of the Pacers and then GM and part owner of the Colonels, then ABA commissioner. John Y. Brown then bought the Colonels, fired and bought out Storen.
When the ABA/NBA merger came, Brown refused to pay a $3M entry fee and instead accepted $3M to fold the franchise and make its players available in a dispersal draft.
artis gilmore and dan issel were on that team 2 future nba all stars with franchises now worth north of 2 billion john y brown made a terrible decision.
