She’s gone from Toronto bartender to face of Toronto FC to one of the most sought-after talents in sports broadcasting. Now she’s at the Super Bowl.
Quite the week for the Kelce brothers. On Sunday in the desert Travis and Jason will become the first siblings to oppose each other in aLesser known than the other Kelce boys, already with one Super Bowl ring apiece, Raphael is prolific in his own field — a multiple employee-of-the-month winner at a Tupperware sales firm. The runt of the litter, it appears, can still be a winner.
“I do feel that we have come so far. I don’t know if the things that I make would have been made five years ago,” Bonnetta tells the Star. “There have been times when I have sent a video to my boss asking ‘is this OK? I’m poking fun at Bill Belichick!’ What I do is not typical, it’s not the norm. So for the NFL Network to be moving the needle in that way is so cool.
“I’d dropped out of school, was bartending but broke,” says Bonnetta of the time around late 2011 when she’d parked a broadcast journalism course at Seneca College. “There was an incredible sushi restaurant down the street from us at Bathurst and Bloor. I’d go to the bathroom and they always had this stack of nice toilet paper. I would be like ‘I’m just gonna take some of these!’ Times were tough, you know? It was really dicey.
“Hockey was in my household. My dad raised me to hate the Leafs. Yet we watched them like every single game. It was this very weird relationship we had with them,” she says. “My uncle is [NHL coach] Bruce Boudreau so then it shifted to ‘wherever he is, we’re all gonna cheer for him’. Cheering him on extra hard lately with everything that went on with the Canucks.”If Bonnetta wasn’t exactly where she wanted to be at the time neither was Toronto FC. These were the down years.
“Within six months of starting that MLS job, I had an offer from ESPN and Fox Sports at the exact same time,” she says. “I was just like ‘OK, wow. Let’s do L.A. Let’s keep working towards this dream.’”
