Politics is quite draining. There are so many heated discussions and press conferences to cover during a convention.

MTV Awards are fun - it's MTV! You never know what's going to happen. It's a slice of pop culture in the moment, and you can't take it too seriously.

Do the best work you can do and try not to worry about the fact that you are a woman covering the NFL and you have never played the sport before. Just focus on the story and study, prepare and deliver the best report possible.

Michelle Tafoya - best NFL sideline reporter - period. She is always prepared and professional.
