Jennifer Hale is a study in contrasts.
The Fox Sports sideline reporter, who will work Sunday’s Saints-Tampa Bay game in her chosen hometown of New Orleans, is an LSU honors college graduate in political science who also earned a master’s degree in broadcast journalism from Northwestern University and spent time on a fellowship in Germany studying U.S.-German relationships since the fall of Communism.
Some serious cap-and-gown stuff there.
But while at LSU, Hale also was a cheerleader, homecoming queen and Miss LSU who won the swimsuit competition in the Miss Louisiana pageant.
Some not-so-serious stuff, depending on your point of view.
