I think Aldo hit the bullseye on Alice. She’s cute AND knows her sports more than some of you people think.

She obviously enjoys what she’s doing. You don’t hear her on Fat-HA-HA Talk Radio, and she never makes herself the story. She pretty much has the opposite characteristics of the people many posters on this board rail against. What’s not to like?

What you mean is you wish you had her SCHEDULE. If you only had to, um, “work” two hours per day, three days per week and have others do all your heavy lifting, you could spend the rest of your week staying in shape too. Ever wonder how in 20+ years as a reporter, she has managed to avoid breaking so much as one meaty story?

Jumping in the wayback machine, I give her an approve in 1988.

How does anybody give a rat’s ass about a local sports reporter these days, let alone one who is on camera for about three minutes a week?

We may as well be discussing our favorite dinosaurs. Do you prefer a triceratops or a tyrannosaurus rex? It doesn’t matter! They’re both dead.

She is still goddamn hot for someone her age. I would have crazy dinosaur sex with her.

Approve!

We criticize Buckley, Ordway, Shank, etc. for making themselves part of or more important than the events they cover and for thinking that their opinions are more important than the facts of the events they cover, and then we criticize someone like Ms. Cook for being bland and innocuous.

I’ll take someone like her over Buckley and Shank any day.

Also, I suspect she knows more about sports than Burton anyway, although that’s faint praise to say the least.

If by ‘contributed more’ you mean he was about ten cards short of a full deck then you are correct.

So she’s short on ‘zip’. Alice just goes about her job without bringing any attention to herself.

Alice Cook – a career in sports media that never was.

Zip Rzeppa contributed more to Boston sports reporting

This has no relevancy whatsoever to either the approving or disapproving of Alice, but I did work with her sister about 20 years ago and the sister (red hair, green eyes, nice bod, great laugh, loved to party) was was a lot of fun and just a nice person.

Oh, yeah. Approve of Alice, too.

I assume she’ll be back on Ch. 4’s Patriots Gameday show this fall, Jon (Sunday mornings at 11:30 before the NFL Today if you want to see her work). She also occasionally does the Pats game recaps on the Sunday night Sports Final program.
