E. Andrews still the most pathetic SL babe ever, I don't care what y'all think

Absolutely horrible. Horrible!

Tonight to the kicker's parents:

"How nervous were you in the car driving up here?"
"What do you think of soccer now?"
"Do you know who Sid Vicious is?"

omg Erin. Live on your looks, sweety. Don't speak.

 

First of all, PointOfOrder could not be any more correct. More on that in a moment.

At the risk of sounding like one of those 30-something dorks with a gut hanging over his belly who says he wouldn't hit a knockout...that picture does not make her look good. She looks like she's battling a case of hemorrhoids. Look at the face and the positioning of her back hand. And carrying around a bevy of hair care products is extremely vain.

Now back to PointofOrder's, uhh, point. It is even more embarrassing watching her in person than watching her on the air. She's completely unprofessional, hugging ballplayers in the locker room, stopping into the weight room and basically flirting up a storm. That she and Rick Sutcliffe, the two biggest dopes in the industry, get to work together sets ESPN back 28 years (would love to know which one of those foofs called Terry Francona "Love Muffin" last month at Yankee Stadium). And she sets female reporters--print, sideline, electronic, whatever--back 50 years.

There. Somehow I missed this thread when it started so I'm glad I got this off my unenhanced chest.

 

You know, I'm sure there was potential for some real hard hitting Edward R. Murrow level journalism in that kicker storyline with the right person asking the questions, but maybe, just maybe, you're going a little overboard? She's a sideline reporter being asked to add some human interest stuff to a college football game. I'm sure all your work is perfect, but sometimes other people's won't be. Give it a rest.

I've known Erin since she was in college. She's a sweet girl who got placed on a national level far earlier than she should have been with TBS as studio highlight girl on Braves baseball because her father had great connections (longtime Tampa TV reporter) and because she is smoking hot (yeah, they are real). She struggled there and eventually was let go. Since then she has worked extremely hard to become, in my view, pretty good at what she is asked to do.

 

Do you mean to say an influential father got her a job? Color me astonished!

 

professionally, makes you long for the days of Dr. Jerry Punch. However, this pic if fine. She's hot...period. Whomever said it first, I'm right there with you...I'd hit it.

I guess that's all well and good as long as you have never criticized any person for their (lack of) performance in their profession. And here I thought it kind of came with the territory of being on ESPN every week. Silly me.

 

Criticizing once is one thing. An ongoing rant seems a bit much. Again, what were you expecting from anyone in that role that would have been so much vastly better? As the thread indicates, most here feel Erin's about in the middle of the pack of her field on skill and higher than that on looks. Repeating you can't stand her another two or three times isn't likely to sway that.

 

Give me Tafoya. Give me Dr. Jerry Punch. Give me Adrian Karsten (RIP). Give me a producer who will not put her on air unless she can contribute something (and yes, I do hold the producer, and her daddy, and whoever is giving the producer marching orders [because the schtick probably sickens the guy running the show] all partially responsible for her on-air hijinks.)

 

That would be Lugnuts.


Enjoy. ;D

 

E-e-e-e-a-a-a-s-y now... Let's not get carried away...
It's like saying "Give me Holly Rowe" only with a teensy bit more sports knowing thingys...

Once upon a time a few years ago Erin Andrews was very, very nice to Ralph Waldo Henderson, which is all I have to say, so I'm going to refrain from any professional criticism because she seemed like a very nice lady, not a big-timer or a jock-sniffer.

 

slappy, here's your sign.
