So my dad raised me, and he's a huge football fan.

I grew up watching Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell and the other guys with my dad.

Constantly there's a credibility issue; you're judged on how you look. If you look good, people assume you aren't credible. It's a battle you'll always fight if you're on TV and a female.

So I plan to prepare thoroughly and have several outfits waiting in the wings in case of inclement weather.

When I'm anchoring, I miss chasing stories in the field.

I've always been the only girl in those environments. It's comfortable for me - I prefer it, actually.

I'm comfortable with my femininity, and I don't try to change what I look like just because I'm reporting on football at the end of the night.
