"Watney, whose contract had also expired, is leaving to work for Time Warner Cable in southern California. Time Warner Cable lured the Los Angeles Lakers away from Fox Sports West and KCAL-TV last February with a landmark 20-year deal said be worth in excess of $2.5 billion.
Watney will work as a sideline reporter on the Time Warner Cable Laker telecasts, beginning with the 2012-13 season. She had worked on NESN's Red Sox telecasts and other Red Sox programming for the past four seasons. Her new job allows her to return to her native California."
Can the 2011/2012 offseason get any worse for Red Sox fans? Considering her Laker (vomits) job doesn't begin for another year, I wonder what Heidi will be doing during next summer's baseball season. I also wonder if this was a mutual decision. I could see the NESN replacing Watney with either some ugly chick or some dorky guy.
