Erin Andrews Bares All (Textually)

Continuing to take cues from the blog world, the Chicago Tribune is the latest mainstream publication to grant a profile to the ever frothed over Erin Andrews. What cell phone number juicy tidbits would she reveal? Can you make it to the end of an article with no pictures? I'll try to cull the highlights for you.

My dad is Steve Andrews, an investigative TV reporter in Tampa. He's incredible, the reason I'm in sports. He has two daughters and no sons. Even the golden retrievers were girls. He's a huge sports fan from New England but was never into the Patriots because they weren't very good. (Ed. note: Sound familiar?)

Hmmm. A sister? /Darth Vader voice

Well, what girl doesn't want to think she's sexy? But I am so opposite of Playboy's Sexiest Broadcaster, it's hilarious. Right now my travel gear is a pair of jeans, sneakers, a vest and a long-sleeve shirt. As much as people think you get glammed up for television, I'm a huge tomboy.

Oh, yeah. Great point, Erin. Low maintenance girls give me a huge softie, right?

The coolest thing that happens is when I get a text message from Lesley Visser or Linda Cohn or Shelley Smith. Shelley texted me to say: "You're doing a great job with this Indiana (Kelvin Sampson) stuff.'' These are women who have been in the business a lot longer than me and have dealt with a lot of stuff and they're giving me support. They're giving me credit not just for being Playboy's Sexiest Broadcaster. That means more than they will ever know.

Everyone makes a big deal that Bruce Pearl is texting Erin, but I'm sure Linda Cohn is just as into her.
