1980 ESPN Report About Pool Shark Is Ron Burgundyishly Hilarious

On a slow Christmas news day, WAVY-TV (Hampton Roads, Va.) unearthed this gem from 1980: longtime sports director Bruce Rader's feature on a pool shark who happened to be female. It aired on ESPN, which was just a year old at the time and which in those days would apparently ask local stations for stories to pad out a thin broadcasting schedule.

Inexplicably accompanied by the sidling sax theme from , Rader's feature is a nice fluffy throwback. Jazz should be used in more reports these days.
