    I don't think she was "asking for it" but when she shows up at Super Bowl media days in a wedding dress to propose to Tom Brady and measures biceps, she forfeits any right to be taken seriously. She made herself a clown act.

    I understand your point, but I think that Super Bowl media days are a whole different ball of wax.

    Is it like Halloween where you can dress up like a whore?

    Only if you want to blend in.

    Seriously, she dresses pretty standard for about any female hosts I have seen on Telemundo or Univision or whatever.

    A couple of male colleagues have asked my opinion of all this. If I say Ines Sainz was oversensitive, I feel like a traitor to my gender. But I wasn't there, so I don't know what was done and said.

    The latest AP story I've seen makes everything seem remarkably innocuous.

    Did something potentially inappropriate happen? Was something potentially inappropriate said? Probably. But it doesn't seem like this is anywhere near the level of the New England Patriots and Lisa Olson. But should it have to get that extreme before something is done? Absolutely not.

    Lupica: "I thought I was the sexiest reporter"

    This one has The Onion, Sports by Brooks and Sports Pickle written all over it.

    What exactly did she expect?

    I'd particularly like to see them do this with Lupica. Yeah that happens to every beat guy or columnist.

    Agree, PD. Hard to see what was done.

    The assistant throwing balls in her direction should get some heat/discipline -- harassment issues aside, he should be taking practice seriously a couple days before the team opens the season.

    I will state definitively that Ms. Saenz looks better in jeans than 99.9 percent of the sports writers on the planet.

    My god, I would punch 15 hobos to have one day to look like that in jeans.

    But yeah, if she was in those jeans and that shirt and stood there, near the other media and in the right place...then she did nothing wrong in this instance.

    Agreed.

    But when those jeans find themselves on the shoulders of the players...

    Do we know that this was even Ines' issue? It sounds like it might have been someone at AWSM (who may or may not have been there) fanning a brush fire, and then Christine Brennan blogging about it. I know the PFT note said she was "near tears" or whatever, but you can't honestly take that seriously when it comes to that kind of info/description. And from the T.O. video I posted earlier and the pics that have surfaced from media day since then, I just don't think Ines would have been complaining -- and it doesn't sound like that day represented much difference from her normal forays to practice and the locker room.

    'Ines Sainz: Now the #1 hot search on Google ahead of Nate Berkus' show, Lady Gaga's Meat Dress & Calvin Johnson's catch.'
