Benedictina Arnold…  :p at least she’s experienced covering mediocrity!

Good for her...

Bears will be a fun team to cover with Fields there, new coaching etc. Plus she's back home. Usually not a bad place to be.

Meh...she was never one of us. She seemed well-spoken and she asked good questions in pressers (TOMASSON!!!), but her opinions were atrocious. I think she thought Mackey and Judd knew what they were talking about.

ESPN...Didn't they used to do sports or sumthin?

Mackey riding shotgun?

Lee must be devastated…  B)

I don't think Courtney is a bad person, but taking the Viking's beat for ESPN was probably just part of her plan to get back to Chicago. She was in San Jose before she came to Minnesota, covering sports for the newspaper there I believe. Probably has family and friends in Chicago as she was born and raised in the northern 'burbs there. 

Sports media today is looking for opinions, takes, driving a lot of diversity and women into the industry as an initiative for the last 20 years. Probably overdue, actually. The 24/7 sports news cycle needs a ton of content to operate. I don't think she was the best, but I don't think she was the worst either. There's nothing that makes her qualified to talk about sports necessarily, but get in line with about 70% of the other people talking sports now. Its irrelevant. Opinions are all that matters and everyone has got one.
