Trenton Makes, The World Takes: Tracy Wolfson

ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews is all the rage on the Internets and in the Blogosphere. And rightfully so.

While several of her sideline roaming cohorts are barely worth their salt, male or female, Andrews looks poised to become the evolved sideline spawn of Suzy Kolber, Pam Oliver and Ren-fave Michelle Tafoya.

At HHR, we were admittedly slow getting into the whole "sports blog" game, but we feel in our short existence we have made great strides in being entertaining, witty and not taking sports and life as serious as too many folks do. If we had any time and talent, hell, we might even be somewhat informative.

Well, while folks clamor to Andrews, HHR is kickin' it back to the old school, because we are old fools, and we are so cool.

And by old school, we mean a little station based out of Trenton, NJ, known as WZBN. ZBN was a launching pad (ok that's a stretch, but if Tony Caputo can make it on a statewide channel in FRONT of the camera, that's saying something) of sorts for on-air personalities, basically covering county news, local high school sports and the area's two minor league draws - the Trenton Thunder AA baseball team and the Trenton (Titans) Devils hockey squad. Back in the day before the rise in popularity of blogging in general, we used to watch a gal on there named Tracy Wolfson.

You may have heard of her or seen her wandering around college football sidelines or around a tennis court or two. Look, we understand that Wolfson isn't exactly the cream of the crop when it comes to her profession. But we like to think that we "knew her when," and are hereby adopting her as this blog's very own. Eat your heart out, Erin. Tracy, you can captain our CarStar Team of the Day, any day.

I'm right there. I know Tracy from when she was at ZBN. I was broadcasting a lot of High School stuff over the internet and she was at a lot of events I was at. I know she works hard and she looks good on TV. The Michigan thing is a problem, though.
