Cuba Gooding Jr. appeared on SportsCenter today to promote his new film Red Tails (which, as far as we can tell, is fully unrelated to sports) and performed some awkward impersonations, including one of Allen Iverson which ended in an aborted-too-late "rock out with your cock out!" We're pretty sure that's an impossibility for Linda Cohn, though only our former editor would know for sure. [ESPN] More »

Robert Griffin III's nickname is RG3 because he's the third consecutive Robert Griffin in his family—hence the III. While this has been a problem for ESPN before, it's never created so many issues as it did for Linda Cohn tonight on SportsCenter, who despite dropping several "RG3" references continued to call the Heisman Trophy winner "Robert Griffin Jr." We imagine the Baylor quarterback—who announced plans to enter the NFL draft Tuesday—would reply with a smile and a "Please, Linda, call me RG3. Robert Griffin Jr.'s my father's name." [ESPN] More »

I don't remember now what was in my letter, which I'd addressed to the very nonspecific "SportsCenter anchors." I'm sure it was your standard fan mail—"I'm a big fan, I watch every morning, I want to be on ESPN one day." I don't think I asked for a reply, and I definitely didn't ask for signed headshots.

We're generally fans of Linda Cohn, but last night's 11pm SportsCenter was bizarre. It started with a cold open featuring Cohn lamenting the onset of some kind of holiday-related depression, then continued to the above segment in which she seems genuinely surprised to be interviewing the New York Rangers' Derek Stepan. She alludes to some kind of past between the two—and she's confessed to being a Rangers fan on-air before—but Cohn is reduced to schoolgirl giggles for most of the interview so we don't get a lot of details. (Because you're already asking, Cohn is 52 and Stepan is 21.) More »

At noon today, two female SportsCenter anchors handed the baton off to two other women, a first in the show's long history. Truly this is a monumental day in the long struggle for women's rights. More »

The fiery red may have inflamed too many passions, but paired with a sensible skirt the kicks are still considered an appropriate compliment to Nets highlights. Duly noted. More »

The first thing you notice about Linda Cohn is the voice. It's a definitive Long Island accent that is so pronounced it sounds like someone doing a bad Long Island accent impersonation. "Coffee Talk" in the flesh. And she laughs a lot. A giddy, crazy laugh that ‘s a bit jarring. We met in the lobby of the Sheraton Hotel on Tuesday night to go on our "date" as some sort of convoluted scheme I cooked up to help promote her book. She shook my hand like a professional. The book, from what I've read, is much different than what I expected. It's a very personalized memoir that covers all aspects of her life and her eventual ascent to ESPN prominence. It's a little uncomfortable to read about Linda Cohn's love life and the unraveling of her marriage. But, you know, that's why I figured a date would be appropriate. She's newly single, I'm newly single, let's let the ponies roam, right? More »

This photo was taken by Gawker photog Roger West who was assigned to photograph my big date in New York City with ESPN's Linda Cohn, who's doing press for her book, "Cohn Head: A No-Holds-Barred Account of Breaking Into the Boys' Club". She's a classy lady and one who appreciated my attempts at wooing her: Flowers. A hearty meal. Wine. A $12 tie. More »

In that book thing we just wrote, we referred to Linda Cohn as "competent, and seemingly pregnant every three months." We're not sure that's true anymore, but it really did seem like that for a while, didn't it? Every time you turned on "SportsCenter," there was Linda Cohn, all preggers again. We remember when the same thing was happening with Trey Wingo. More »
