Confirmed with Link: Jamie Erdahl to replace Naoko Funayama

[ksp1957]

At least I won't have to tear my eardrums out listening to another Naako interview.

 

[Scotto74]

Thank GOD

I also miss Rob

 

[Kelly23]

Perfect choice!!!!

 

[NinthSpoke06]

This is great.

Love that chick.

I've been impressed by the job Jamie has done with NESN and the Red Sox telecasts this year. I'm sure she'll be a huge success. I wish Naoko well in her new endeavors (motherhood?). She did a nice job. It wasn't easy replacing Rob Simpson.

Very well said

I love this chick hopefully she knows a little about hockey.


And lots of love for rob on here... He was a cool guy sat near where he stood one and chatted with him a lot. I was also like 15 then so I'm sure I annoyed the hell out of him but whatever

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Good news.

Only thing better would be to give her Kathryn's old job and send old man Arnold back out to pasture

 

[chippa13*]

Hope she wears more revealing outfits that nako wore!

 

[GloryDaze4877]

I really liked Simpson, quirky but good, and he grew on you.

I don't get the Naoko love? I thought she was absolutely abysmal. Seemed like a nice lady, but nearly unwatchable.

Erdahl is cute. If she knows anything about hockey and doesn't sound like nails on a chalkboard, I am not sure how she would not be an immediate improvement on NF?

 

[GloryDaze4877]

Jamie and Johnny getting wet

 

[WickedBruinsGirl]

I thought you two were laughing at me - she's a short timer here lot of talent besides the looks

Could have been. jk
PS your daughter is going to training camp both days. She was wondering why you had me text her to ask. LOL

 

[GloveSave1]

Lovely.

Thanks NESN. Did it right.

...While I liked Rob Simpson, just too much wacky comedy for one broadcast while Jack is around...One more and we'd have the three stooges...Jack is more than enough comic relief...

Sex sells and NESN knows this point well

 

[ODAAT]

I don't know who she is but I too miss Rob.

She has to be better at player interviews tha Naoko.

I`m clearly in the minority here of fans who think Naoko did what the job called for and what I see others in her position do which is ask creampuff questions that prompt cliche/creampuff answers.

I watch Elliot Friedman (who I like) on CBC do his between period stuff and it`s no different or hard hitting but then he`ll take part in the Hotstove discussions and I really enjoy his contributions.

The job calls for little more than filler stuff from what I see but who knows, I gotta face for radio

Maybe for some, as much as I appreciate beauty, I don`t tune in between periods in general anymore as I find the "interviews" mundane, hot or not

I to do not tend to watch the between periods interview because they are pretty boring but as you mentioned some really would tune in just for a beautiful telecaster and there is nothing wrong with NESN doing this

Agree 100% ODAAT, I'm wondering how do you feel about eliminating between period interviews altogether? I mean the players prob do not mind the interviews, but I'd venture to think they do not prefer them

Yeah. Let's all tune in to the intermission stuff because there's gonna be sex.

Am I missing something here?

 

[MerrimackBruin*]

We needed some new hotness... NESN delivered.

 

[Dellstrom]

But how is she with interviewing children at the game? Will she ask Z how he feels after they win?

 

[KuralySnipes]

I'm interested to find out about that tour. Will B's be involved?

 

[LSCII]

I was hoping she'd replace Dell on the Red Sox broadcasts, but this is a huge bonus for me. Love the move. Hated Naoko. She tried and she wanted to be good, but she wasn't.

I think I tried that once and missed puck drop

I heard that's why they went to 18 min intermissions.
