Being a sideline reporter isn’t exactly the hardest job in the world, nor is it really that necessary. I mean, when a player gets injured and then heads to the locker room, they show it on the broadcast. There really is no need to go to Suzy Kolber and ask her for news on it when all she is going to say is “He’s gone back to the locker room for further evaluation.” We know, we saw it.
Still, networks know that a nice way to keep that male demographic they cherish so much watching is by putting some eye candy on the screen. It’s why Erin Andrews is so popular, but at least in Erin’s case she actually knows what she’s talking about. The same cannot be said for Fox sideline reporter Danyelle Sargent. She interviewed new San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Singletary before the game - and before Singletary’s epic undressing of Vernon Davis - and let’s see if you can figure out where she went wrong.

Other questions Sargent meant to ask Samurai Mike included, but weren’t limited to: Who are you going to vote for next month - Al Gore or George W. Bush? Are you going to start Joe Montana or Steve Young today? And finally, how much marble could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck marble?
Maybe Mike should have sent Danyelle to the locker rooms early as well.

Wait - Bill Walsh is dead!?!?!?

I wouldn't mind seeing Danyelle sent to the showers. I'd get a front row seat with shampoo & a loofah at the ready.

Last week, she asked Lovie Smith if he was going to use Refrigerator Perry for any 1-yard TD runs.
3:31 pm on October 27th, 2008
Guess Danyelle won't be taking Pam Oliver's spot anytime soon.
3:34 pm on October 27th, 2008
Mike Singletary's reaction was priceless - "What the hell are you talking about?"
3:36 pm on October 27th, 2008
If that was Joe Namath, he would have answered with a big, wet kiss.
3:43 pm on October 27th, 2008
And the week before last, Danyelle asked Jim Zorn if Joe Theismann's leg was healed up enough to resume playing.
3:59 pm on October 27th, 2008
And the week before that, Danyelle asked Mike Tomlin if Terry Bradshaw & Lynn Swann were all set to play.

Danyelle is also known as the "what the f*** was that!" girl who got fired from ESPNEWS.

It's also great that she started off by first saying "Bill Wash". Someone didn't double-check their notes.
4:15 pm on October 27th, 2008
Fired by ESPN, probably about to be fired by Fox…is Comcast hiring?
4:25 pm on October 27th, 2008
Poor Danyelle must have been slightly intimidated by the sight of coach Singletary. Good thing he was wearing sunglasses to cover up those intense eyes.
4:26 pm on October 27th, 2008
It would have been great if Danyelle ended her Singletary segment with, "Bill Walsh is dead? What the f*** is that?"
4:28 pm on October 27th, 2008
I'd let it go and give her another chance, on account of she's pretty hot.
4:38 pm on October 27th, 2008
You're saying chicks like Erin Andrews, Ashley Ruseel & Danyelle Sargent aren't necessary? What are you, gay or somethin'?
(Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
4:56 pm on October 27th, 2008
The video's down. What did she say?
5:04 pm on October 27th, 2008
She asked Singletary about calling up Bill Walsh as soon as he was named 49ers coach. The problem is that Bill Walsh passed away last year.
5:21 pm on October 27th, 2008
Maybe Mike was holding a seance to contact Bill's spirit. We are close to Halloween, you know.
5:22 pm on October 27th, 2008
Ah. Yeah, that's kind of dumb.
5:24 pm on October 27th, 2008
secho:
That video's hilarious. And it's not like she said it under her breath, but shouted it as loud as she could.
5:34 pm on October 27th, 2008
Bill Walsh is dead? I didn't even know he was sick.
5:43 pm on October 27th, 2008
are you kidding?…is dead?…
6:39 pm on October 27th, 2008
Danyelle also asked the Packers if Vince Lombardi was looking forward to playing the Cowboys in the Ice Bowl.
6:42 pm on October 27th, 2008
Not a good day for Mike, was it?
7:54 pm on October 27th, 2008
President Francisco Franco is still dead, too.
7:59 pm on October 27th, 2008
Samurai Mike must have stopped her cold. He's part of the defense, big and bold.
8:11 pm on October 27th, 2008
Shouldn't the Fox fact-checking department be up on this? Or at least warned Danyelle ahead of time?
8:22 pm on October 27th, 2008
Sounds like Danyelle has all the integrity & truthiness of a Fox NEWS reporter.
8:27 pm on October 27th, 2008
So she slipped up on a question. Give the poor girl a break.
8:32 pm on October 27th, 2008
Don't let this get you down, Danyelle. Keep trying!
8:40 pm on October 27th, 2008
As Charles Barkley would say, "That's turrible."
10:41 pm on October 27th, 2008
How can anyone that attractive be that dumb?
Or did I just answer my own question?
11:12 pm on October 27th, 2008
If they can have sexy cheerleaders on the sideline, why not sexy reporters?
