Sports broadcasting is a passion of mine, so you'll see me chime in on news surrounding the current and former careers of these fine men and women that never get the attention they deserve.

Or in this case...too much attention.

Remember Lisa Guerrero, the attractive sideline reporter that brought nothing else to Monday Night Football other than her looks? Well, she's back, but on film instead. Posing for Playboy or her lone appearance on the George Lopez Show didn't land her alongside Jeff Daniels ("You sold my dead bird to a blind kid?"), Henry Winkler ("eeeeeeeeeeeeey"), and Billy Baldwin (Billy is still around?). Guerrero's husband, former Twins pitcher Scott Erickson cast his wife in A Plumm Summer, as he is financing the movie.

Here is the plotline: "Set in Montana in 1968, two young brothers from a distressed home go head-to-head with the FBI to crack the kidnapping case of the beloved TV puppet, Froggy Doo."

After viewing the IMDB profile of the film, I think it's safe to say that Clint Howard's appearance as "Binky the Clown" will be the only entertaining aspect of this movie.

Speaking of bad actors, onto the world of soccer...

A reporter across the pond decided to play "goalkeeper" during a training session against an actual goalkeeper and former Manchester United star Raimond van der Gouw....

The result? Two broken fingers and a sprained wrist.

Swallowing his pride, he continued participation through to the end of the drills. Major kudos to this man, but hopefully his "reporting" is better than his goalkeeping.
