In the morning, I reach for the sports page.

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

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

In terms of broadcasting, you have to make decisions about where you want to spend your time.

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.

And that Michael Irvin would care more about his wardrobe than I would?

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.
