To this date, many victims of that situation criticize the network for its action.

Nonetheless, Jade, who was full of vigor and possibilities, found her spot at NBC Sports Boston. Since September 2018, McCarthy has been active as the host of the network show Opening Drive, which is a New England Patriots pregame show.
