Lesley Visser

“What kept me going through all the years? More than anything, the love of and respect for competition. That's what it comes down to for me. That's why I do this.”

“I went to the top of the Cotton Bowl by myself, sat down and cried.”

“I don't know if everybody is ready to hear a woman tell them so-and-so is going to run off left tackle. But you know what? They're going to hear it.”

“Guys do not have a genetic blueprint that allows them to understand or love sports.”

“Everything is working.”

“For years, I stored my sweaters in the oven.”

“My schedule has slowed a little. I've cut back on some of my assignments. But I still have the enthusiasm for the sports world that I had 38 years ago.”

“I'm proud of my status as a pioneer in this business.”

“All the cameras shifted from the players to me.”

“That I've lasted is one of my greatest accomplishments. Maybe my greatest.”
