These two have matched up numerous times on the pre-game show this season but I'm only now realizing what a complete mismatch this truly is. Heidi Watney is at least twice as hot as Amalie Benjamin, hands down. There's no arguing it. With all due respect to Benjamin, who seems like a very nice person and is as solid a beat writer as they come, she can't touch Heidi with a 10-foot makeup brush, or microphone cord, or baseball bat (or any other instrument that is in line with their respective professions and fits my general cliche mold).

Bottom line: Putting Amalie Benjamin and Heidi Watney side-by-side on the pre-game show is like putting my neighbor's 3-year-old's finger painting next to a Monet at the Museum of Fine Arts. Different people like each of them for different reasons, but in the end, the majority of rational, clear-minded human beings agree that one is significantly superior when compared to the other.

Although I'm sure some legit supermodels would go up against Watney and get pummeled Ali-style, so it's saying a lot for Benjamin that she can typically hold her own. At least it's better than just looking at Ken Macha's mug and listening to him stutter through pre-written lines for an hour prior to each game...
