Top 10 women sportscasters
http://www.wptv.com/content/specialreports/story/Top-10-women-sportscasters/r7hY0vFOZUyo5NVsqPptrg.cspx

10. Cheryl Miller
9. Pam Oliver
8. Shelly Smith
7. Rachel Nichols (no way)
6. Jeannine Edwards
5. Pam Ward
4. Kelly Naqi
3. Doris Burke
2. Mary Carillo
1. Dottie Pepper


Mary Carillo should be #1 on this list. And Rachel Nichols does not belong on here at all.

1. That's a better list than most I've seen
They used some lesser known names from lower profile sports. Along those lines, I still think diving commentator Cynthia Potter is the best female sportscaster I've ever heard, instantly critiquing intricate twists and turns. She didn't seem quite as impressive as typical in the 2008 Olympics but her overall level for 20 years or so is astounding.

Otherwise, I agree Nichols doesn't belong. Edwards should be higher, and utilized more. Funny that Dottie Pepper is ranked first but she receives mixed reviews on golf message boards. Many prefer Judy Rankin to Pepper. Of course, those golf forums tend to dislike any golf announcer not named Feherty, even though Feherty is absurdly overrated.

Strange choice of photos on that link. It's the worst picture I've ever seen of Edwards, and I'm not sure it's Rachel Nichols at all.

2. Pam Ward --is she the trainwreck that does the undercard noon Big 10 game on Saturdays with some
dottering old fool. Worst tandem in sports.
