Back in the day, she was the designated hottie on NFL pre-game show. Am I right that she was married to Frank Gifford at one time?

She was a classy lady.

Google Phylis George/Roger Staubach Interview.
Her response to Staubach’s comment is priceless...and that was a time when personal comments were Not put on TV as they are now.
RIP Ms. George

Before that she was in one of the oddest couples ever when she was married (briefly) to Robert Evans, Chinatown producer and one of the biggest cokeheads in Hollywood history

I always heard that she and Jimmy never really got along off camera. Never saw any tension between them on camera though.

Football pre-game broadcast teams still try to have the same type of people although they are more former coach and player heavy.
