@dont-forget-where-you-came-from-cheese mac: Well, that's a good question. Are football players considered employees in New Jersey? I believe in some states (Florida?) pro-athletes are considered contractors.
I'm not sure an attorney, (and I am sure Deadspin, LLP will step in here), would automatically dismiss this claim based solely on the "independent contractor" element of this incident. My understanding is that the courts would be willing to examine claims of someone functioning as an employee, even if they are a contractor.
Isn't this along the lines of the sexual harassment case that HP CEO had to just settle with one of their contractors to avoid going to court?
@The_International_Poise_Conspi...: I just looked her up. The only way she could look more wholesome would be if she was to hold an apple pie in every single broadcast.
"I felt that I had to have every angle covered and triple-checked, just in case. I wonder now if I did that merely because I wanted to be prepared, or if I did that because even if there aren't the catcalls to prove it, I still have the underlying sense that I don't really belong on the other end of that phone in the first place."

My question for the author is this; If Inez Sainz was dressed more modestly, say from a conservative market station like Milwaukee, but still an obvious beauty and was still catcalled by the Jets players, would you still have the same reaction? Or would her lighthearted coverage still not be good enough for your standards of what makes a person qualified to talk about sports? (And remember, you are answering this question on Deadspin, home of the exposed athlete penis and ESPN memos. Lighthearted is one of the things that this site does best.)
@WaffleCopter: Not exactly "new-found religion" considering he was fined by the NFL for writing "PFJ" (Playing for Jesus, something Kurt Warner also used to do) on his cleats his rookie season.
Just because there is a link to many of their products, word on the street from all of the places I buy bras from is that Goddess Bras (whose quality has been going down for years) is going out of business. If you like one of their bras, buy as many as you can in your size once you know they fit. (As I have been doing with their Everyday Fit Style 106 in a 34H all summer.)
1/4 tank? Both of our cars have handy little trip gauges on them for how much gas is left in the tank. It's like a game to see how far I can keep driving the car before refueling.
"20 miles left? I can get all the way to Santa Monica and back!" "15 miles? Pbbbsst. I'll fill up tomorrow." "10 miles? Stop on the way home." "Oh shit, it just says FUEL now. That means I have five miles left. The closest Mobil station is about three miles away, but the shitty ARCO is about a mile... Let's see if I can make the Mobil."
