Apologies if this is being discussed elsewhere but Jenny may not be long for NESN:

Hmmm. Wouldn't shock me either way if she takes it or stays at NESN

Damn - that link is spam central. I need to give my phone a shower.
Which one? I can redact if in my post.

It definitely takes her out of the "journalist" class (damn those quotations marks are contagious). I will add however that all the guys who cover the Sox who have co-written books with players they currently are paid to be objective about are pretty much in the same category.
So he went from a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader to a former UMass cheerleader. More fodder for those who question his recognition and selection process.

The ghost/cowritten autobiography has always been a real logical flaw in the facade of sports journalism ethics, even for the supposedly pure old guard. Dick Schaap was in fiduciary bed with half the people covered. Also the whole "drink at the same bars and ignore everything" thing.
I have a hard time recalling why I should care if covering sports is treated with the same regard to the "public trust" as real news, that goes triply for team-produced local television, and I'm not at all concerned if the local media is too close to the players. On the rare occasions when the sports media needs to cover a Real Story, I'll trust there's enough variety and separation to let some professionalism rise up alongside the inevitable shitshow (which happens not at all because of 'agenda' and entirely because they're just not good at it).
As always, my position is the state must show a clear public need to institute regulations that will result in a decrease in the overall amount and frequency of hot women having sex. With sports in general, I don't buy it.
"Sideline repoters" are hardly journalists. Really what has Dell or Watney contributed other than a pretty face? They repeat old news and give ballpark food reviews. So the fact they give up the inkwell for the company pen is meaningless. It's fun for us to talk about though.
Makes sense. Two good-looking young single people are attracted to one another. Do I care how it affects her coverage of the team? Not really. Good for them.
Talk about positional flexibility . . . yeah, yeah . . . And in this case Middlebrooks might be better off at second base . . . yeah, yeah.
I'm not sure how this affects coverage of the team or relates to journalistic integrity. Will Jenny start having a more difficult time asking Will "How did it feel to hit that home run?" Because that's about as hard-hitting as her questions to anyone ever get.
Yeah, I wouldn't have gone near her that night looking like that, let along bang the shit out of her.Foulkey Reese said:Can we please talk about how dreadful she looks in this picture?
When has that orange face look ever looked good? If you can get past that, that Supergirl is very bangable.
I can very easily get by that and I bet most here could as well despite their internet musings.Red(s)HawksFan said:

I'm pretty sure Will's family own farmland, which technically makes him
Farmer in the Dell
That's a ways to stretch it.

She's a 6 on a good day.
She's a 6 on a good day.
She's good looking, and she looks like fun, but she's not remarkable or anything.
The problem, I suspect, is that she thinks she's far more attractive than she really is. Further, she strikes me as the type that will, over the next 10 years or so, fuck up her natural good looks by desperately attempting to never look a day over 29. Those are, ironically, the women that tend to age the worst.

I agree, why? I don't think she (or he) would be going public if her job was in jeopardy. Can't imagine any of this is news to the NESN folks, anyway.
Besides, if NESN thinks there's a conflict of interest for Jenny to be "covering" the Red Sox, they could simply switch she and Jamie Erdahl...Jenny on Bruins telecasts, Jamie on Sox games.
In response to a Dell/WMB "is it an issue" question, Chad Finn answered:
The bolded part hadn't occurred to me.
In the broader newspaper sense, they'd move her to another beat. Then again, she can barely do the job to which she's already assigned. (YMMV)
