Popular sports broadcaster, Bonnie-Jill Laflin, talks to mens interest portal Xposed.com about the barriers faced by women in sports journalism and how celebrities guard their public image.
(PRWEB) July 1, 2005 -- Popular sports broadcaster Bonnie-Jill Laflin talks to mens interest portal Xposed.com about the barriers faced by women in sports journalism and how celebrities must guard their public image.
San Francisco-born Laflin refers to former Monday Night Football sideline correspondent Lisa Guerrero in an Xposed celebrity feature this week, as well as comedian/MNF vet Dennis Miller and actress Tara Reid.
You have to be on top of your game or you lose your credibility and youre done," she says, citing Guerrero, who lasted only one season on MNF.
Like Guerrero, Laflin is a former NFL cheerleader, model and actress. She hosts ESPN2s Speed World" and the Cold Pizza" morning show, while also doing sideline reporting for CBS Sports.
(Female sports broadcasters) still jump over hurdles now because there are females who make it hard for people like me because they use their sexy ways and dont know sports. Girls like that wont make it long. I want longevity. I dont want to be a flash in the pan."
Laflin would love to one day sit in the big seat at Monday Night Football.
When Dennis Miller was on there, I had to put my TV on mute. I couldnt even listen to him. He drove me nuts," she says. He didnt know football, and I dont think hes funny."
When it comes to posing for sexy photos or playing the hot girl roles, she said shes game -- to a certain point.
Im not guarded about doing anything sexual. I just think now, with the line of work Im in with the broadcasting, you have to be careful what you do. Credibility is everything. You cant be doing some things because then you are perceived a certain way, even though you may not be that way. Some girls show too much and it gets them in trouble, like Tara Reid. Shes out there partying too much and sleeping around. She isnt even considered an actress anymore. Shes a party girl."
In the Xposed.com interview and non-nude pictorial, Laflin also talks about her experiences as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader and dating Joey Gilbert, one of the boxers from the NBC show The Contender".
