You know what I hate?

Proof that good looks, not necessarily talent, are what will get you and keep you a job at NESN:

NESN, New England’s most watched sports network, announced today that Heidi Watney and NESN have agreed to a multi-year contract extension. Watney joined NESN in May 2008 and served as the network’s Boston Red Sox game-day reporter delivering pre-game, in-game and post-game updates and interviews from the ballpark. Heidi also works as an anchor/reporter for NESN SportsDesk and contributes to NESN.com with a weekly column.

“Heidi is a talented reporter whose versatility and work ethic help her deliver the news and stories that consistently connect the fans with the team,” said Joel Feld, NESN’s executive vice president of programming and executive producer. “We are very happy to extend her contract and expect her to take on an even larger role with NESN and NESN.com.

The woman knows as much about baseball as I do nuclear physics. But she sure looks pretty trying to say the phrase “toeing the rubber” – let’s give her an extension!

NESN makes the baby Jesus cry. That’s all I’m sayin’.
