A few minutes prior to the big announcement that Joe Blanton was signed to a 3-year, $24 million contract extension, CSNPhilly went LIVE! to the press area where some of the reporters were scrambling to get a front row seat for the big event.

Notice I said some.

Others, like… uh I dunno, DAVID MURPHY OF THE DAILY NEWS (pictured in the hooded sweatshirt) were hanging out in the back of the room chatting it up with CSN’s Amy Fadool (on the right) and her unknown friend, who I can’t identify at this time but is probably just as hot as Amy.  Now I’m no body language expert, but from the looks of it, there ain’t no baseball talk going on there.

If I know Dave (which I don’t), he was probably talking about his fancy sportscar(s), celebrity friends, and penthouse apartment in Center City (which he may or may not have).  And if that didn’t impress the ladies, Murphy also showed off his superior reporting skills when he took charge and asked the first question of the press conference.  If I remember correctly, it was something about how Joe feels with the security of a multi-year deal, but that isn’t the point.  Women love a man that takes charge.  (I read that before)

So Dave, next time there’s a presser at The Bank, be careful when those cameras come on because there might just be a creepy blogger watching who has nothing better to do than take the screen shot and call you out on your flirtatious behavior.

UPDATE! The girl sitting next to Amy has been identified as booking producer for CSN, Colleen Wolfe. Who is, as predicted, also hot.
