For us "older" members NFL Today was thee show for pre-game analysis in the 70's.  Brent Musburger, Irv Cross, Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder and of course Phyllis George were must watch TV on Sunday mornings.  She wasn't just a pretty face, and was a trailblazer for women in sports broadcasting. RIP

Getting offended by something you see on the internet is like choosing to step in dog shite instead of walking around it.

Yep, she was quit a trailblazer for women.  I remember her as a young kid.  She was essentially hired to try the concept of putting a pretty female on a football show.  She admittedly didn't know a lot about football but rather than just skating by as a pretty face, she really put in the work to educate herself about the sport and about broadcasting and actually became pretty good at it.
