We had so many people reach out about this episode with LINDA COHN, we are running it again!
Linda Cohn, the only sportscaster that anchored over 5,000 episodes of Sports Center.

That would explain why she authored the book &quot;Cohn-Head: No Holds Barred Account of Breaking Into the Boys Club.&quot;
A hockey fanatic from when she was a little girl, she broke barriers, broke records and then broke into the boy's club by being the first full-time U.S. female sports anchor on a national radio network when she was hired by ABC.
