“It's an interesting dynamic living in New York in general as a Boston fan. It's kind of fun that way. It's fun to be the contrarian when everyone hates you as long as your team is winning.”
“I wanted to go to school for public relations, and I also wanted to minor in dance. And Hofstra had two really good programs for both of those, so that's why I ended up there.”
“I think the vision for FOX is to have a network full of people who have opinions as opposed to people who say news. If my message doesn't fit in, but I get that platform, then I'm reaching the people who most need to hear it.”
“I went by Kyle, and I made friends on the team as Kyle. It went on for a pretty long time, until I went to a birthday party in a dress and all the hockey players were like... 'Kyle?'”
“Not every woman goes to sporting events to find men, but 2-3 percent of women do.”
“I try to limit my time with Michael Davies to as little as possible per week, and he is pretty good with that, since he has a bazillion things to do. When I do see him, I try not to talk about dental work or anything like that because I know the Brits get very sensitive.”
“I make sort-of funny videos for the Internet that are watched by a handful of people.”
“Women in sports television are allowed to read headlines, patrols sidelines, and generally facilitate conversation for their male colleagues. Sometimes, they even let us monitor the Internet from a couch.”
“I miss Boston so much and want to get back there someday.”
“'Garbage Time' was the name I came up with. Midnight was my decision. Were they the right decisions? I dunno.”
“My first sales assessment, they tell you your strong points, and they told me I was the emotional salesman, the one who could really connect with people by making them feel comfortable. Once someone told me that, I couldn't get past how manipulative it made me feel.”
“It is very easy to try to type cosmopolitan.com and accidentally type foxsports.com, if you just got your nails done.”
“Am I the next Bill Simmons? I don't think so. I haven't built a media property. He's the best at finding voices he likes and paying people money to work for him.”
“Garbage time is that time at the end of the game when the points don't really matter, and nothing you do can really affect the overall outcome, but the rookies usually get a chance to play on the big stage.”
“I make funny videos. I hate saying I'm a comedian because then people stick their finger in your face and demand you tell a joke. But the other thing people call me is 'a YouTube sensation,' which is even worse.”
“I live in New York City, but I live in Hoboken because it's cheaper there, and I can own a condo.”
“When I review my contract, it is to make sure that I am not going to get in trouble or not paid. Then afterward, people say, 'Did you make sure they gave you a green room,' and I'm like, 'No, I didn't get any of the cool stuff.'”
“A lot of people like to justify women's supporting role in sports media by saying, 'Well, they've never played the game, so they just aren't qualified to speak about it.'”
“I am not going to say I have never spoken with Bill Simmons because I have. I respect him greatly.”
“I have no other network to compare it to, but FOX has treated me lovely.”
