I'm pretty sure this is how a lot of them get the gig. Denise Lewis during the Olympics was a reminder it's not just football where this happens. A few years back Sam Quek tried her hand at the NFL show because she once played hockey and wanted to work in the media. She was rubbish. Show a BBC exec your medals/caps and they're hypnotised.
