Erin Andrews named Sexiest Sportscaster by Playboy

Hey, Ms. Andrews IS a journalist.

 

Ashley Russell, from Rivals.com is a new find for me.
She seems to be damn fine, and seems to know what she's talking about.
Anyone worked with or know of this woman?
Really a beauty.

 

Thanks for checking in, Ashley.

 

I would put Erin and Ashley in different categories. This thread title, "Sexiest Sportscaster ...." doesn't fit Erin.
I think she is spectacularly beautiful, the kind of woman you want to hang with, then marry and live happily ever after. But I don't think of her as sexy.
Ashley is sexy personified, the kind of woman you want to go clubbing with and show off to your friends who know she is out of your league.
Then there is Rachel Nichols ... very scary looking to me. Not attractive at all. I don't know where she is from or her background, but she is the typical eastern girl -- most of them have one major flaw. They might have a good bod and great hair, but fucked up teeth because most of them smoke. Or they have a great smile, but a huge nose or a mole on their chin. Or good bod, nice smile, but ridiculous hair.

 

"Whores!"

 

"Yet one more reason why I'm better than all of you."

 

I guess I understand that your looks are probably fair game if you're a sideline reporter, and probably part of the reason you got your job, but why are we cool with having this endless debate every three months?

It's one thing to debate and joke about the fake beach balls stapled to the chest of Tim Tebow's anonymous girlfriend, but now we have people calling Rachel Nichols ugly and saying Erin Andrews' teeth are too big, etc. Weak shit.

Let me just say that Rachel could fucking write circles around 95 percent of us (check the Washington Post archive if you don't believe me), and Erin, if you've seen her at a college game, works harder and hustles more than 90 percent of us. They're good people, from my experience. And snarking about their looks (or oogling their asses over and over, but especially snarking about their looks) is lame.

I've said this before 100 times here, and I'm sure it's a big fat wet blanket that makes sweaty press box hounds everywhere groan and roll their eyes, but there is a difference between ripping on celebrities for the cracks in the facade of their perfection and doing it to people in our business. I wish some people could realize how pathetic it makes all of us, not just those making the comments, look.

 

Great post to end this one.
