You are not just a funny person or just a journalist. Most people are hybrids of having a smart opinion and a great sense of humor.

Don't let... anybody in the Cowboys organization fool you into thinking they support Greg Hardy. They don't. They support sacks.

My first sales assessment, they tell you your strong points, and they told me I was the emotional salesman, the one who could really connect with people by making them feel comfortable. Once someone told me that, I couldn't get past how manipulative it made me feel.

Garbage time is that time at the end of the game when the points don't really matter, and nothing you do can really affect the overall outcome, but the rookies usually get a chance to play on the big stage.

My dad likes to tease me over this. We weren't there at Fenway, and it wasn't a consequential game, but Trot Nixon let a ball go through his legs, and from that moment on, I hated Trot Nixon. Really irrational. Based in nothing. But did not like him.

I went by Kyle, and I made friends on the team as Kyle. It went on for a pretty long time, until I went to a birthday party in a dress and all the hockey players were like... 'Kyle?'

Garbage Time' was the name I came up with. Midnight was my decision. Were they the right decisions? I dunno.

Women in sports television are allowed to read headlines, patrols sidelines, and generally facilitate conversation for their male colleagues. Sometimes, they even let us monitor the Internet from a couch.

I'm sure you're used to hearing that when people get to Long Island for the first time, it's a bit of a shock to the system. But I found Long Island people very endearing.

People are confused when you work for a national sports outlet and they've never seen you on a local affiliate.

I try to limit my time with Michael Davies to as little as possible per week, and he is pretty good with that, since he has a bazillion things to do. When I do see him, I try not to talk about dental work or anything like that because I know the Brits get very sensitive.

A lot of people like to justify women's supporting role in sports media by saying, 'Well, they've never played the game, so they just aren't qualified to speak about it.'
