Topics
Michelle Tafoya: 我在体育广播领域取得了成功，并在NFL、NBA、奥运会等大型赛事中担任记者。我的职业生涯始于体育电台，之后进入电视领域，最终在NBC的《星期日夜橄榄球》节目中担任记者。我始终以NFL为目标，因为我从小就是一名狂热的橄榄球球迷。在第49届超级碗比赛中，我亲眼目睹了Malcolm Butler的拦截，并采访了他。在比赛中采访教练是一项极具挑战性的工作，需要大量的准备和人际关系维护。在职业生涯中，我始终保持高度的准备，因为失败不是一种选择。我曾因滑雪事故摔断手臂，但没有得到任何额外的危险津贴。我曾在《The View》节目中担任嘉宾，但这段经历非常不愉快，节目氛围压抑且充满敌意。在最后一次超级碗转播时，我深刻意识到自己职业生涯的幸运与特权。我目前居住在明尼苏达州，对该州州长Tim Walz毫无尊重，认为他毁了明尼苏达州。我正在考虑竞选参议员席位，以表达我的政治观点，并为明尼苏达州的未来而努力。 Kurt: 作为一名体育迷，我非常欣赏Michelle Tafoya的职业生涯和成就。她是一位非常出色且经验丰富的体育记者，在直播电视节目中表现出色。 Tony: 我同意Kurt的观点，Michelle Tafoya是一位杰出的体育记者，她的职业生涯令人印象深刻。 Neil: 我对Michelle Tafoya在《The View》节目中的经历感到遗憾，这反映了当前美国政治环境中存在的偏见和不宽容。
