Erin Andrews Voted Sexiest Sportscaster

To compensate for the runaway train that was Erin Andrews in 2008's edition of "America's Sexiest Sportscaster", Playboy ramped up the difficulty this year, adding an additional round and expanding the candidates (as previously noted, there was quite a conglomerate of sexy upside potential.)



But in the end, none of it mattered, as Andrews, champion of Wordpress (read: "blog") photo galleries worldwide, walked away with the 2009 crown as Playboy's sexiest sportscaster (link leads to Playboy.com; NSFW warnings do apply.)

Sexiest Sportscasters of 2009 Narrowed to 5, Erin Andrews Still Around

Talk about drama: There are just a few weeks left in the hotly -- pun intended -- contested voting in Playboy's America's Sexiest Sportscaster 2009 poll. Since we last checked in with news on this all-important vote, the field has now been narrowed to five finalists.

To the surprise of no one intelligent, last year's winner, Erin Andrews, is one of the five finalists. The ESPN sideline reporter has been an internet sensation for the past few years. Her following is much to large for her to be defeated in the finals.

Playboy Is Accepting Votes for 2009's Sexiest Sportscaster: Can Anyone Dethrone EA?

Please prepare yourself for a discussion on a somewhat sexist topic (but appropriately handled by yours truly, natch.) See, Playboy magazine, well known for its brilliant articles, is holding 2009's Sexiest Sportscaster contest. You may remember 2008's event, in which Erin Andrews of ESPN and sandwich eating fame steamrolled the competition en route to winning the crown.

Not to mention bloggers' hearts everywhere. This year, though, EA has seen a little bit -- in my humble opinion -- of a downtrend in terms of popularity. She's still beloved and stalked and all that, but come on folks, aren't we a little sick of harassing her with pictures and signs at every single ESPN event? Aren't we ready for a new lady of sports sideline (or not sideline -- looking at you, Linda Kohn!) to dethrone Andrews?

But, "who!??!?" you ask, will take the queen of sexy sports media down? Excellent question. And it's precisely why Playboy.com just announced their nominees and they are ... (affiliated station in parentheses):
Erin Andrews (ESPN)
Now, I certainly don't think that anyone from Andrews' own network can beat the reigning champ -- that just seems a little too incestual and unlikely. I do, however, have a ton of faith in Charissa Thompson, Alex Flanagan and my dark horse special, Lindsay Soto, from the NFL Network. Don't believe me? Pictures after the jump.
