Episode 104 – Interview with Female Trailblazer Shannon Eastin

Today’s very special guest is Shannon Eastin, the NFL’s first female on-field official. She was brought in during the 2012 season when the NFL locked out officials prior to the season. Shannon was brought in for four preseason games with one of them as an alternate. She also worked three regular season games. She was scheduled to work a fourth game in Arizona, but the league brought back the locked-out officials prior to that game. Currently, she is the director of officials for the Canyon Athletic Association. To purchase Shannon’s book, go to: https://rowman.com/ISBN/978153....8181607/Lady-Ref-Mak the Pro Football History Nugget of the Week, we discuss the historic accomplishments of Terri Valenti.
