Amina Smith moving on to ESPN



Looks like Amina will be moving to ESPN starting April 2nd. Her final day with NBC sports Boston will be March 20th.

Sad to see her go, but super excited for her. Well deserved and definitely one of the best anchors we’ve had. Curious who they will replace her with! I’m guessing Tom Giles will fill in for the remainder of the season

    I’ll miss her, I love how she and Eddie get along. He genuinely likes her and they are like brother and sister. I wish her well, hope they replace her – Tom G is stiff and boring.

    Does Claudia Bellafatto care for the job?

    best of luck to her! ill be honest i skip pre and post game and usually do stuff during halftime lol so ive very rarely seen her but from what ive seen shes a fine anchor

    Good for Amina… Proud of her. Boston sports has always been a great pathway for women to move on to the national stage.

    Good for her. Not sure exactly how it works but I assume she got more $$$.

    Fuuuuuuck i thought she was so good this year, I’ll really miss her. Love her chemistry with Eddie this season. Hope we get somebody instead of Tom as a full time replacement, he’s fine but pretty boring.

  7. Sad, but good for her. I thought she was great. Knows how to work the room, when to dial energy up vs. down.

    I hope this doesn’t mean we have to listen to Eddie House waste more words to barely communicate a vague opinion stated as fact.

    She’s been great. Best of luck to her. She had a great rapport with the guys.

    Good for her.
    Hopefully espn won’t have her saying ridiculous stuff the way they do everyone else they employ.

    How does our local sports media always get poached ?

    Can Scal move on to ESPN? Most condescending analyst towards coworkers I’ve ever heard. Not to mention everytime someone on our team falls down, he yells out like they’ve just suffered a season ending injury

    Happy for her but I hate ESPN/ABC and hope they lose out on NBA coverage. Watching the Finals in 720p (highest resolution ABC offers) is awful.

    She is great, but I gave up on the pregame show. They are all-in on talking about betting and I’d rather do pretty much anything else than watch people talk about betting lines.
