Annie Apple & #8207;@SurvivinAmerica 2m2 minutes ago
I am beyond excited to be joining the ESPN family and quite honestly, happier than a Kardashian in an NBA locker room. #Blessed
Apple writes a blog called "Survivin America: Making it through with humor and hope." After the draft, she wrote a first-person column for Sports Illustrated about the experience, and soon thereafter she visited ESPN's Bristol, Connecticut, campus to appear on "His & Hers," NFL Live and several other studio shows.
"Annie caught our attention during the NFL Draft, and when we met her in-person at ESPN, we were blown away by her relatability, her sense of humor and just how unafraid she is to speak her mind," said Seth Markman, senior coordinating producer for ESPN's NFL studio shows. "Annie brings a very unique perspective as the mother of a current NFL player and as a fan, and we look forward to exploring a variety of different story ideas with her on Sunday NFL Countdown."
"She's not going to change," Eli Apple said Monday, after the Giants' first practice during organized team activities. "She was like this way back when I was in high school. She's not going to do anything different."
Well, she is getting a new job. Starting this fall, Annie Apple will join ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown as a contributor. Annie Apple will offer player profiles and other stories for ESPN's Sunday morning pregame show.

"I am beyond excited to be joining the ESPN family and to have the platform to rep sports moms' perspectives, energy, contributions and fantastic awkwardness to viewers around the world," Annie Apple said. "Moms are the heart and backbone of all sports. We are our kids' first coaches, trainers, nutritionists and cheerleaders."

Eli Apples mom got old the first time i read anything she had to say, and then even worse when they had her on NFL Network the next night being interviewed by Lindsay Rhodes. The one thing is what she has to say/offer is just as irrelevant as what Skip Bayless or Curtis Conway (useless garbage) has to say.
The thing that concerns me though is the people who find Apples mom funny" or even close to interesting. Just a weird way to get attention I guess, be the loud mouthed mom of a first round NFL draft pick.
Message boards where fathers of players would post before, during and after their sons played. They offered a unique perspective And always enjoyed reading what they hd to say.
I feel like some people think that those who watch pre and post game shows take what is said on there as gospel. Its not. I form my own opinions but enjoy hearing those of others amd why. Adding a perspective we rarely get to hear from is interesting, IMO.
But nothing ever wants to stay what you began paying attention for in the first place. ESPN moves away from sports, mtv no longer does music, the food network doesn't teach cooking any more. It's too bad and where does that market find its outlet now?
Modus Operandi, you dumb fuck she is sassy and can crack jokes because she is older than all the players and doesnt give a fuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Mommas know their stuff!
What perspective is that? Whh at does she say that isn't said here every day?
The perspective of a mother of a player in the NFL. Thought that was obvious. I dont expect some crazy insane football insight, but I think hearing her opinion on things like safety would be interesting. Id love for her to answer a question like "If you had to di it over again, knowing he would make the NFL, would you let your son play?"
I dont follow her on twitter and dont care about her jokes. Again, On College websites hearing the perspective of parents on the team was interesting to me. Doesn't have to be for you.
License Plate Guy and Annie Apple don't belong in the same sentence, unless you know anything about Annie running a loan sharking operation.
And the thing is I believe she has been tweeting since Eli was about 13 years old and apparently enjoys it and it pretty good at it and has a decent following in her own right.
This notion that she is doing this because her son was drafted is silly. Do people expect her to cease what she was doing because her son now has notoriety? Would they ask that of their own mom?
As far as ESPN, I think they recognized that the women is a natural and view her a a likable personality worthy of taking a chance on. She may just be a talented lady who will excel in front of the camera.
Yeah or whatever she was talking about low rent Odells stupid Tweets she was making. Who gives a shit? Like I said, the night she was on the NFL Network being interviewed and like I said I dont give a fuck what she has to say. I immediately changed the channel and turned on the hockey or whatever else.
Im not the only one, every single article about her (an article about a players mom, lol) has people bitching about the coverage of her. I honestly wouldnt be surprised if there was a Real Moms of the NFL, I did say though what she has to say will have the same impact on me as what Skip Bayless has to say, nothing. It doesnt mean I have to like her or find her not annoying. Good for her.
LOL, oh no. I didnt mean to sully the name of Annie Apple by comparing her to LPG because of the loan shark shit, even though LPG was being bashed years long before the minute the loan shark shit surfaced on here. Like I said, her and Miko Grimes can be on a show on Oxygen sometime together.

Didn't we have a thread already suggesting it was time she goes away?
One week after the draft?

Ah, but if he doesn't...
Hooooo boy.
Never in a million years would I have thunk it.
Damn, learn something everyday.

And maybe t was obscure sports back then. It dammit, it was sports. Now it's like the View
I don't understand the resentment of her.

Because we found her annoying right away? OK?
We (as BBI) bash License Plate Guy constantly on here, lol. I've read far worse on here.
