"Mr. Stern, how would you feel if I offered to give you a little of my private time, if you know what I'm getting at?"

That would have been much better if Etan Thomas wrote it.

to be (sort of) fair, I'm sure she was just trying to get him talking so she could grab a sound bite. But this was definitely not the best way to do it. Problem is, is she a sideline reporter at a press conference, or a journalist who works as a sideline reporter?

@Muggsy Bogues:
According to good ole Wiki, reporter who does investigative reports and previously worked at the Washington Post. Having not seen her work, I'm not sure that answers the question (or whether it matters)

@Lisa: "Investigative reports". She was pretty vapid at the WaPo if memory serves.

Equally mind-bending was her SportsCenter report, which began with a proud: "I asked David Stern what kind of emotions he felt..."

@Lisa:
Having lived in DC during her stint at the Post as the pre-marriage Rachel Alexander, she started off covering the Washington Capitals and was pretty awful. Then moved to sports features and got better.

I'm just waiting for the day someone asks that kind of question at a press conference, and they respond with insults and questions of how they were able to ask that kind of question. I can't be alone right?

SLAM Online's commenters make us sound like a Mensa meeting.

@Carson: werd

I heard the question live, and I was just amazed that she was able to put together such a mind-blowingly retarded question. I try not to be sexist, but a question like that doesn't do much to help out the cause of female reporters/announcers in men's sports.

"Well, Rachel (wiping tear from his face), I was shocked, then angry, then numb. I felt hurt, betrayed, taken advantage of. I sat alone in my office, but I felt as if I was alone in the world. My innocence, nay, the innocence of SOCIETY, has been taken, and I don't know how I can recover. Now turn around, bitch, I got a use for you. Besides, you got nothing better to do, and I'm bored."

Now, "Rocket Queen" is my favourite. Let me quote that, when we get to it.

He said "nay". Huhuhuhhuhuh...
