Sweet Jesus what happened to Gayle Gardner??

[Clarkmeister]

Not only does she look old and out of shape, her voice is totally gone and it seems she can barely talk at times. She used to be good. Wow.

[Sooga]

For christ's sake it's been about 20 years... man, I feel sorry for your future wife!

[Clarkmeister]

Hey, my future wife better be able to talk without her voice cracking in 20 years, that's for sure.

"And team USA wins 80-....88."

[Cleveland Guy]

I thought the same thing.

She was also talking really slow. My wife and I think she must have a medical condition - and that's why she left TV

Gayle Gardner is nowhere in the same league Pele is as a soccer player, but GG was a Sportscenter anchor from 1983-1987, and they brought her back for "old school" sportscenter. If you over-taped the ESPN WSOP on Tuesday by a few minutes like I do, you might catch a few minutes of her.

About any of the ESPN Old School stuff? I want the scores and the sports news, I don't care about the old announcers and all that talk about the good old days of 1997. I watched 15 minutes the other night and I won't watch again until the Old School stuff is over.

SportsCenter has fallen a looooong way. It's now just a vehicle for ESPN to promote itself.

Phil Mushnick wrote a column about this recently; I would try to find a link but I figure you can Google as well as I can.
