Just starting a new thread; I didn’t want to hijack Fred’s… The night after I saw Fred, I had tickets to see Tig Notaro, followed by a show called “The Set List”. Paul Provenza would come out and introduce a series of standups one at a time, and each would be given a series of goofball topics

In the first sentence of the Variety Obit it says that she was “one of the first leading female sports broadcasters...” Which got me thinking, why doesn’t it say she was the first leading female sports broadcasters? She premiered on NFL Today in 1975, can anyone think of a woman in that field
