https://lukeford.net/blog/?p=149944 “Jayne [Kennedy] was something else. She was great,” Fishman said, “but Brent [Musburger] was really cruel to her on one particular show. For some reason he was ticked off at everybody on that particular day—maybe it was because of all the notoriety she was getting, I don’t know. We came up to halftime and I remember this clearly. Brent would do the score rundowns and then he and Irv would do the highlights. And this halftime Brent said something like, ‘We’re back live at The NFL Today studios in New York, and Jayne, why don’t you take us around the league [and report the scores of the games]?’ She looked like a deer in the headlights. It was awful. I remember hitting his headset and saying, ‘That was a real son-of-a-bitch move.’ But Brent just ignored the comment.
“He threw her a curve ball. She wasn’t prepared for it. She didn’t know what team was leading what, and it was just awful. She’d read the team that was losing first. Why would Brent do that? So cruel.” 8
As she attempted to read the scores, she was shaking. They were too scared of Brent at that point to reprimand him. Fishman’s comment in his earpiece was as tough as it got. They knew Brent controlled everything on the show, and they didn’t want to ruffle his feathers. Producer Mike Pearl did approach Brent about it, however.
“I told Brent that it was wrong,” said Pearl. “He said he was just trying to have fun with it. There were no repercussions. I apologized to Jayne, who as I remember, took it in stride. Second-guessing myself, if we were just doing a score segment, we should have had just Brent and Irv on the set.”
