The sports guy pulled me over and said, the weekday guy pulled me over and said, women don't do sports.
I know this sounds like 1892, but it wasn't.

And I went into that same news director and I said, hey, you're starting this morning weekend thing.
I want to be the sportscaster for that.
And he said, that show does not have a sportscasting position.

I made it up and I gave it to myself.
And at this point, I was his top reporter.
I'd worked really hard.
So I was the nightside reporter.
