Erin Andrews is a sideline reporter for ESPN. She began by covering the National Hockey League, and has since moved on to College Football and Major League Baseball after ESPN downgraded their hockey coverage. Her father, Steve Andrews, is a six time Emmy Award winning television news reporter.

Quotes
"We have to be in 15 different places at once and listen to the broadcast. A lot of time you are praying that you're in the right spot at the right time. While I might be on one side listening in on the huddle for the defense, on the other side of the field, someone could be pushing and shoving, there could be an altercation going on in the offense's huddle. You just hope you're in the right spot at the right time. And, oh, by the way, the announcers could be talking about something they'd like help with and, meanwhile, you're poking your nose in some huddle and trying to listen to some coach. There's just a lot of stuff happening at once." - Erin Andrewshttp://blog.pennlive.com/davidjones/2009/12/erin_andrews_trying_to_get_bac.html
"Traveling for my job makes staying in shape really hard. I've been working really hard this past year. I got a trainer and he's taught me how to exercise on the road, which really matters for me. I now have a routine I can do with my iPod." - Erin Andrewshttp://www.examiner.com/x-20836-Celebrity-Fitness-and-Health-Examiner~y2009m12d31-Bowl-games-hottie-Erin-Andrews-sexes-up-ESPN-sports-reporting-from-the-sidelines
