More than a few former ESPN types have traveled a great distance, in television parlance, to escape the constraints of the Worldwide Leader's studios, from Keith Olbermann's journey to news to Craig Kilborn's excursion to late night television and subsequent obscurity.SportsCenter anchor Chris McKendry's jaunt to Melbourne to co-anchor the channel's Australian Open coverage represents the best of both worlds. She gets an all-expenses paid escape from Bristol for a couple of weeks as well as getting to keep her day job.
Not that anchoring the midday edition of everyone's favorite sports news show, as McKendry does from noon to 3 p.m. ET each weekday with John Buccigross, is a bad thing, mind you.
But getting out of the studio and experiencing the games firsthand every once in a while is a nice thing, too, not to mention escaping the cold and snow of the Northeast for the warmth of the early summer in Australia.
