The Sunday morning show has made a few changes recently in their staff, and I must admit I like the personnel moves.  The long-running show used to be hosted by the late Dick Schaap.  The panel of sports reporters have went from the boring slothful Jason Whitlock and the whiney Mike Lupica to a toned down (and better for it) Steven A. Smith, and a nice addition of Michele Tafoya.  Not only a was new voice of reason and point of view needed on the show to deflect on Bob Ryan’s old school pessimistic yet entertaining mindset, this gives women more of a reason to watch.  The show used to have an all boys club feel to it that would reject anything that was revolutionary and didn’t like changes in the status quo.  The hot buttons of sports like the “black quarterback” in the NFL, or anything that would get a rise out of people racially was not given their fair shake under the old regime.  Tayfoya’s skills were being severely under-used as a sideline reporter for NFL and NBA games.  No one could make those interviews interesting if they continue to keep it a serious tone rather a playful one done by current players poking fun of their fellow colleagues.  The only memorable sideline moment was Jim Gray’s blindside attack of Pete Rose on the celebration of Major League Baseball’s All-Century Team.  Good job for showcasing Michele Tafoya and hopefully more females will be able to join the ranks in the sports world.
