Suzy Kolber (born May 14, 1964 in Pennsylvania) is a football sideline reporter, co-producer, and anchor for ESPN and ABC Sports. She was one of the original anchors of ESPN2 when it launched in 1993.
She is a 1982 graduate of Pennsylvania's Upper Dublin High School and a 1986 graduate of the University of Miami.
The Namath incident
Kolber received national attention in December 2003 when, covering a New York Jets game, former Jets' quarterback Joe Namath twice stated, in a nationally-televised ESPN interview with Kolber, that he wanted to kiss her. Namath later apologized, and the incident was blamed on Namath's obvious intoxication. Soon after, Namath entered an outpatient alcoholism treatment program. The incident inspired the name of the adult-themed NFL blog, "Kissing Suzy Kolber", created in 2006 by five of the more popular commentators from the sports website, Deadspin.
Endorsements
Kolber's football broadcast narrative is featured on Sega's video game, ESPN NFL Football for Microsoft's Xbox and Sony's PlayStation 2. Kolber also is a national television spokesperson for Chevrolet and Pepsi-Cola commercials.
The Impossible Jump
On May 4, 2006, Kolber, along with Sal Masakela, hosted ESPN's telecast of The Impossible Jump live from Las Vegas, in which Mike Metzger was attempting to do a back flip of the Fountains at Caesars Palace, which was ultimately a success.
Monday Night Football
ESPN announced that Kolber will join the 2006 Monday Night Football crew as a co-sideline reporter along with Michele Tafoya.
