[Zarathustra]

I always enjoy Maria's thoughtful questions, interviewing style, and her smile!
Best wishes in the new position! Z

Best of luck to her. She really didn't do much for me, so I won't really miss her.

I have to say I have found her questions insipid and obvious. Nothing personal, but her predecessor on SNY, whose name I can't recall, was a exemplar of what a sports reporter ought to be -- cutting to the chase and asking hard questions as opposed to "hey, Geno, Lou really carried the team tonite with 45 points, were you pleased with her play?"

If you have nothing nice to say ………..

I suppose one’s evaluation of Maria’s style and performance might have to wait until we can see who replaces her.
She isn’t exactly cutting edge or provocative, but that’s not what she was hired to be.
Maybe she wants to take on a more challenging and/or involved role.
Wish her good luck in her next endeavor

 

[YKCornelius]

A superb young sports reporter who has the right mentality in a tough, take-no-prisoners profession. It has been a pleasure to watch her spread her wings over the past few years.

cant remember, who was before her? Was it Kerith Burke?

 

[Goodgood]

Best of luck to Maria. It seems like they can only last 2 years max at SNY.

A step down from Kerith Burke.

A step down from Kerith Burke.

She was there for 5 years.

Justine Ward, the blonde ND grad, was Maria's immediate predecessor. Kerith came before Justine.

See, we do agree on some things.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Best wishes to Maria. I'll miss her!

 

[Rowdy831]

I live in the south so I don't get to see too much of her live but I thought she did a good job. She obviously enjoyed covering UCONN and my perception of her was she had a very pleasant personality.

 

[Bald Husky]

Justine Ward, the blonde ND grad, was Maria's immediate predecessor. Kerith came before Justine.

Yes, both of these ladies were very good. To me, Maria seemed to labor when giving us a report. I don't know if you know what I mean, but she was not very smooth in her delivery. Still, she was our reporter for SNY and I wish her luck in her new endeavor.

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

I enjoyed her reports and feel she has a lot of potential as she goes on with her career!

 

[Bama fan]

Good luck to her, and now there is an opportunity for someone new to step up.

Maria did have a weird staccato delivery, but she was fine. I wish her well.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

Tough crowd.

 

[Bone Dog]

She had some annoying speech habits -- odd for someone pursuing a career involving speaking -- but she was direct and didn't hesitate to ask a blunt question. I wish her well -- and maybe get some voice coaching.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Go rock it Maria! Thank you for sharing your talent and professionalism with us.

In her profession, this position is merely a "stepping stone" on her path to her ultimate goal, whatever it is. I too wish her all the best going forward in achieving her ultimate goal in the business.
