If Jason Kidd's wife had it her way, she wouldn't attend just basketball games.
Joumana Kidd, the Nets star's wife, said she'd love the chance to replace Melissa Stark as a sideline reporter on Monday Night Football, according to a report in Saturday's Newark Star-Ledger.
"I could definitely see myself doing that, sure," Joumana Kidd told the newspaper. "No one has talked to me about it. But I'm definitely not in a position to be picky."
Joumana, who is repeatedly seen with the Kidds' son T.J. at Nets games, has had a budding television career. She has worked for the entertainment show "Extra!" and for NBA Entertainment.
And while Joumana hasn't done football, she said she knows the game.
"T.J. was born during a Monday night football game," she told the Star-Ledger. "So it's always been special to us."
Joumana Kidd has been in the headlines over the past few months, after sports columnist Bob Ryan was suspended by The Boston Globe for one month without pay after saying on television that Joumana, who was allegedly the victim of domestic abuse, needed someone to "smack her."
Ryan, who has since expressed regret, made the comments Sunday night during a segment on WBZ-TV's Sports Final show.
Jason Kidd said Boston fans insulted his wife and 3-year-old son during Game 4 of the 2002 Eastern Conference finals at the FleetCenter. Fans taunted Kidd with chants of "wife beater," referring to 2001 charges that he had struck his wife.
