Deadspin
We really don't mean to pick on Rachel Nichols, who seems like a nice enough person and has some legit journ cred. Or at least she used to, before she became a sideline reporter. The muscle memory of that ridiculous job led Nichols to ask that ridiculous question of David Stern at his Donaghy press conference, in which she asked to "Can you take us through the range of emotions that you felt when you first got this phone call from the FBI that someone had possibly corrupted what has been your life's work?" If Nichols has written "Game Of Shadows," the whole book would have been about how Victor Conte felt when he was rubbing clear on Barry Bonds' chest.
Anyway, we only bring up Nichols because PopJocks compiled a list of odd facts about SportsCenter anchors, and we found out that Nichols is the daughter-in-law of film director Mike Nichols, which makes her the stepdaughter-in-law of Diane Sawyer. It all makes sense now. Also, Kenny Mayne was once Randall Cunningham's backup. News we can use.

Rachel Nichols also likes other peoples' blood.
I don't care. She's still hot. The elf ears only make her hotter.
Yet I find her strangely attractive....
how Victor Conte felt while he was rubbing clear on Barry Bonds' chest
Oh, I think we all know the answer to that.
God, every time I see her interview anyone I just want to cock slap that shit-eating grin off her face.
I can't stress enough how fugly Rachel is in person.
Rachel Nichols colletcs hobo skulls.
Wow. Those were just about the least-fun facts I've ever read.
Yes. (But I'd feel a little guilty about it after the Stern presser.)
Also, I "unanimos"ly hate her.
I agree with Burnsy. Total horseface. She may as well the sports version of Camilla Parker-Bowles.
Blink, goddamnit.
Bonnie Bernstein was once a reporter before she joined ESPN. True story.
That picture is giving me some serious wood. Do all the chicks on the Detroit Demolition look like her?

Rob Neyer: Penis is fully erect when thinking of Zack Greinke.
@Detective Bunk:
I met her while covering the NCAA Tourney in Woucester a few years back. I had to get down on my knees to shake her hand. Then she led me to a mystical land made of gumdrops and gingerbread. If only that were true, it would explain her complexion.
Shelley Smith: once ate a boatload of Haitian refugees.
Will, you couldn't come up with a better file name for that photo than "rnichols.jpg".
There is loads of potential here, sir.
Pedro Gomez: takes steroids.
@twoeightnine: To this day, she still changes her pads after three periods.
If using wikipedia is wrong, I don't want to be right.
Fortunately, using wikipedia means I'm never that right to begin with.
Staurt Scott once killed a drifter to get an erection
Chris Berman: Besides You're With Me Leather once spelled the word cyberspace S-I-B-E-R-S-P-A-C-E.

@Hit Bull Win Steak:
We Haitians taste better than Cubans.
@Detective Bunk:
I would compare to getting a boner from adding a fifth layer of paint to your house.
@twoeightnine: So, I have an idea for a new reality show... lets take a group of obnoxious 18 year old Laawngilanders and stick them in a land where the radio plays nothing but the mid-90's grunge and Nickelback. We'll surround them with chubby farm girls, rednecks in rusty Camaros and Canadians only there to play hockey. We'll call it Oswego State!

@Disgruntled Goat: her inability to blink is so fucking hot
Someday, I hope an athlete/coach/commissioner, when asked, "How do you FEEL about blahblahblah?" will break into "I Feel Pretty" from West Side Story. Unfortunately, it will probably happen during a figure skating competition, so I won't be watching.
Fantasy Team Name: Kurkjian's Gherkin?
