No disrespect to Tony Siragusa and Armen Keteyian (okay, maybe a little), but don’t you sometimes wish they’d get off your screen? Does Texas-Oklahoma really need a sideline reporter?

However—if we’re going to have to deal with one, we’ll take ESPN’s Erin Andrews. No Sopranos shtick, no pontificating pomposity. She reports, she gets the facts straight, and yes, she can wear the hell out of a sweater. But then, if you’ve gotten hip to this whole World Wide Web thing, you already know this. And most everything else about her—how she was on the dance squad at the University of Florida, how she started out covering the NHL for a local channel in Tampa, how drunk college kids across the land propose to her every time she roams the sidelines. (One “fan” who went way too far: the creep who shot that peephole video of Andrews in her hotel room.)

So how about a few things you might not already know?
1. She’s ready to bolt Atlanta, where she lives, for New York City. “Jesse Palmer always says to me, ‘What are you waiting for?’ ” says Andrews, 31, referring to her on-air colleague. “I have no ties to Atlanta, so
ideally, I’ll get there ASAP and start playing.”
2. She’d like to graduate someday to the NFL.
“No doubt. But right now, the college game, I ’m enamored with it. I grew up in the South. It’s a religion.”
3. Yes, she plans to say yes—eventually. “I’ve always looked out for my career first. That’s not to say I don’t want to have kids and get married. But the guys I’ve dated are happy I’m not calling them twenty-four–seven. They’ve got their own stuff going on; that’s a good fit for me.”

Got that, fellas?—adam rapoport
