Veteran sideline reporter Michele Tafoya is leaving the fun and games of the NFL for the full-contact sport of politics.
The Atlantic reports that the 57-year-old broadcaster, who has worked 327 NFL games including Sunday’s Super Bowl, will co-chair Minnesota Republican gubernatorial candidate Kendall Qualls’ electoral efforts. Qualls is an Army veteran and a Republican.
Tafoya plans to put herself on the answering side of the microphone, appearing on programs where politics and current events are discussed. That, she hopes, will evolve into a gig with a weekly or daily show.
