    LOL. At least we can look forward to lots of Cleavage Cam shots.

    This move is pretty obvious.
    She wants to transition into entertainment.
    She will go from Bristol, CT to the vapid entertainment nexus of the planet.

    I saw Erin Andrews once while covering a Big Ten football game. She was shorter than I expected.

    Good for her on going to Fox. Hope it works out.

    Maybe ESPN will move Jenn Brown up as the main sideline reporter. If that's the case, this was a win-win for everyone.

    I think Jenn Brown recently got demoted in favor of Samantha Steele on some ESPN thing.

    If by "vapid entertainment" you mean hosting a college football pregame show and working on NFL and MLB coverage, then yeah.

    Fox announced she'll be part of the coverage team at the ASG next week.

    Awesome.
    Though I preferred her work in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" more, that's such a great clip.

    Will this leave her more time with Will McAvoy?

    To be fair, Erin isn't bad at her job.

    I don't have a problem with Erin.

    I have a problem with sideline reporters. We don't need them. Get rid of them. I mute the halftime coach interviews I hate them so much.

    Agreed. The provide very little, if any, insight to the game. The coaches obviously hate it too. It's just an obsession with TV to get as close to the game as possible.
    It will be interesting to see how Andrews fares in her new gig. Didn't really see her Gameday hosting role.
    She does get to cover the ASG, World Series and Super Bowl this year. Doesn't seem liek a bad move, at least for now.

    Of course not. They would never hire a pregnant woman!
