It's easy to say she was an OG. One of the originals. The sportscaster that anchored over 5,000 episodes of Sports Center. But while the boys were coming up with catch phrases like "Back, back, back", "It's deep and I don't think it's playable" and "Booyah!", LINDA COHN was highlighting the games, the plays and made it about the games, not herself.
A hockey fanatic from when she was a little girl, she broke barriers, broke records and then broke into the boy's club by being the first full-time U.S. female sports anchor on a national radio network when she was hired by ABC.
Delightful, real and incredibly interesting, this episode of The Approach Shot is a must listen!
