    I got tired of her presence at games and basically the role of sideline reporters in general. But man, if she hasn't had a whirlwind to deal with personally in the last few years, from the peephole video to the boyfriend muling coke into a vegas pool party and now this. Glad she beat it back for now. Hope it stays down

    A very, very strong woman. Prayers to her, although it appears it did not spread.

    Bielema may have had to answer an uncomfortable question or two last night at home about this...

    Her job at FOX has elements of "if you don't show up, you are easily replaced".

    I imagine she showed up out of fear to keep the gig.

    If she was out, FOX would have just moved in Charissa Thompson to work with Joe and Troy and ask the two questions at halftime.

    Once the execs saw that Thompson was more attractive, Andrews would be at risk of asking her two questions at halftime of Louisiana Tech-Rice on FOX Sports Shreveport and not Packers-Falcons.

    and that's why a lot of people don't respect what they do. You might as well send supermodels out there to ask questions.

    Isn't that what they're doing already?

    ESPN tried her on the anchor desk for GameDay in the first hour and it just didn't work. She isn't a smooth ad-libber. Just not a good anchor.

    She's like an NFL quarterback. She must absolutely maximize these years because, after 40, they'll always go younger and hotter. Pam Oliver and Suzy Kolber are the exceptions but Pam has the contacts and Suzy can actually anchor.

    Erin can ask her two questions.

    I always thought Erin's appeal was that she wasn't completely unapproachable. Hot, yes, very cool. But not like Emily Ratakowski or someone so damn attractive it's distracting

    First person I thought of after reading this was Jill Arrington, who was the it girl before Andrews, so I hit the Wikipedia to see where she wound up. Sportscaster at KCBS. Not a bad landing spot at all.
