Count me in the “bub-bye, Hazel (kiddie hand-wave)” camp. I don’t watch sports shows for the babes; I watch for the sports. Hazel’s incessant flow of obscure, sometimes ambiguous, and ALWAYS annoying euphemisms detract from her delivery. She uses them to make her appear to be one of the “in” people, but have the reverse effect of putting her out of touch with the viewers. On balance, she is an amateur competing with genuine professionals. I have never understood how she could have been given the anchor desk.

I like all of her colleagues at NESN better, but I have a little advice. First, don’t EVER again drop to her level, like Kathryn did in that hockey-puck, snack, sniping ad she did with Hazel; that’s a definite low point. Second; take elocution lessons. Stumbling over simple words and phrases can turn an attentive audience off.

Third; get to know the sports, teams, and individuals you cover. Tina Cervasio never seemed to care much about the Sox, but we got the sense that she spent some time studying them. TC seems on top of every team. Kathryn can hold her own on a Bruins panel of other local journalists. John Chandler crisply and clearly delivers the sports news, but you have the sense that he could be in any city. Jayme’s been here forever and handles all of the sports, both professional and school, with professionalism.

I hope that whoever lands the lead anchor desk position exhibits all of these qualities.

Hazel was on Rogers SportsNet in Toronto until her affair wit hthe Toronto Maple Leafs GM became public and she came to Boston. She is a bit wacky on camera and that is her draw.
