If you’re a sports fan, Jaime Maggio may look familiar, but that’s only because if it’s a job on television in sports, she’s probably had it, and most likely while balancing a bunch of other jobs. Maggio started as a correspondent for Fox Sports Network shortly after college in 2006. From there, it was a gig as courtside reporter and studio host for the Philadelphia 76ers that caught the attention of several national outlets. She served as a courtside reporter for the NBA playoffs for TNT and a correspondent for Inside the NBA.She also helped cover the baseball postseason on TBS and found time to cover the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. On weekends, she served as a sideline reporter for the NFL for CBS. It was that job that caught the attention of the NFL Network, which hired Maggio in 2012 to host its NFL Fantasy Live show. That’s one crazy schedule, but taking a look at her, it’s clear she must also find time for the gym.

Heidi Watney is one of those broadcasters who gets a lot of attention, positive and negative in the world of sports. Accused by some of sideline reporting during her time covering the Red Sox for the New England Sports Network that wasn’t exactly hard-hitting, Watney is actually a National Merit Scholar who earned a scholarship and graduated from the University of San Diego.
During her time with the Red Sox, she was romantically linked to catcher Jason Varitek, but those rumors were shot down by Varitek’s wife. Watney was hired to cover the Lakers in 2011, but her employment with Time Warner Cable Sportsnet was short lived, lasting just a few months and before she ever appeared on television. Watney has settled in with MLB Network. Her cousin is professional golfer Nick Watney.
