    She is boring.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She is credited with switching the role of female sportscaster from a novelty to working journalist.
    She was the first female major network sports anchor on a weekly show.
    She said: 'And when I looked around at the people who were sportscasters, I thought they were just people who grew up in the United States, too. So I thought, why can’t a woman do it? I just assumed everyone else would think it was a swell idea.'
    She was the first female sportscaster hired by ESPN (1983).
