FanHouse ErinAndrews

The FanHouse Podcast: Because bloggers are much sexier on the phone.

In Episode 26, Hot Clicks' Jimmy Traina joins Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson to talk about Erin Andrews. Because, well, she's fun to talk about. In addition to the news that she wants to appear on Dancing With the Stars, we also get the lowdown on what that big shiny rock on her left ring finger signified.

Oh, and we also talked sports -- Jimmy's a huge Yankees fan -- before Will inevitably turned the conversation to Twitter. Listen after the jump.

She's the sports world's sports girl, and she may be coming at you from a completely different perspective if Erin Andrews can somehow get her way. Andrews, the darling sideline reporter for ESPN, admitted that she is interesting in appearing on "Dancing With the Stars."

I think we all can agree she's cuter than Kenny Mayne.

Dan Steinberg over at The Sporting Blog caught with Andrews and got some great stuff from the 31-year-old, including her admission to wanting a seat on DWTS in the future.

Erin Andrews. Google her name and you'll get about 771,000 results, many of which are blogs that obsess over the ESPN sportscaster's every word. But meet her in person and you'll find a woman who may seem like you or I, stunning good looks aside. She loves sports, remembers old Nintendo games, and yes, does get her feelings hurt from time to time.

FanHouse recently had a chance to chat with the most popular female sports reporter at the NCAA Football 10 premiere party to find out what drives her, what gets under her skin, and whether she'd drop her career to be a backup dancer for Britney Spears. Our full interview with Andrews is below.

Another NFL draft has come and gone, and it's possible that you spent much of your weekend glued to a television set laughing at the Raiders and screaming for your team to find the next Tom Brady at the bottom of the sixth-round. If you're like me, you live in an area of the country where your only option for draft day coverage is ESPN's wire-to-wire mayhem.

If you happened to miss the draft, or watched it on the NFL Network, here's what you missed.

The power of social media took another step during the 2009 NFL Draft when the Patriots reported -- before ESPN mentioned it, before Roger Goodell said anything and before anyone in New York City knew -- that they would be trading their first-round pick.

And they announced it via Twitter. Of course; who could possibly think it's jumped the shark? The more important question though is: "Who did the Patriots trade with?" The answer: "The Baltimore Ravens." Who promptly took Michael Oher.

As I wrote a few minutes ago, Oher fell down draft boards quite quickly. Baltimore, who has a fantastic history of making first round picks, obviously saw something in Oher and made a deal with the Patriots to pull a trigger.

Those of you who follow my work here at FanHouse know that I am the furthest thing from any sort of gossipmonger there is. Obviously. And I usually refrain from writing too much about Erin Andrews; she's awesome, of course, but she gets a lot of coverage.

However, my colleague and podcast partner Ryan Wilson pointed out to me that during Andrews' recent interview with FanHouse, she was flashing some serious bling. Bling that just happened to be placed on her left ring finger (close-up after the jump) while she was telling Ariel Helwani that she wasn't interested in him.

NEW YORK -- Any sportscaster would love to be featured in a video game. Erin Andrews is getting to fulfill her virtual dream by being featured in EA Sports' NCAA Football 10.

My dream? Heck, it was to interview Erin Andrews! Sadly, though, things took an unexpected turn at EA's Draft Night Premiere IV in New York City when Andrews left me out of her dream. Confused by all this dream talk? Check out the interview below.

ESPN's Erin Andrews just reported on the air that Illinois point guard Chester Frazier suffered what is being called a bruised hand in practice Wednesday. She said it is "highly doubtful" that he will play at all this weekend, but the team hopes he can play next week in the Big Dance.

Andrews also mentioned that Frazier didn't want many details released, which makes be believe this is worse than being reported. How would a bruised hand not be cleared up in a week, and why would it be a secret?

The otherwise adorable Erin Andrews -- nicknamed Erin Page Views among the keyboard class -- is fighting back against what we assume is uncomfortable chatter among the Interwebs. We can only assume some people are saying things a bit less gentlemanly than the usual hottest/sexiest sideline reporter stuff that dominates most copy about her.

Appearing on radio station ESPN 540 in Milwaukee for a casual chitchat things turned serious as Andrews revealed she's going all legal eagle on us in addressing "false" internet chatter she's found distasteful. Relevant quotes straight from Andrews herself after the jump.

According to Playboy, Erin Andrews is America's Sexiest Sportscaster. As such, she's subject to a whole lot of speculation on the blogosphere, particularly in terms of her looks. And -- just like every single group of people in the entire world -- the internet has a few bad apples.

Sometimes these bad apples say things that are a touch over the top; and it's not hard to imagine Andrews has heard/seen a few of these things before. And, it would seem, according to a recent interview she did with ESPN 540 in Milwaukee (via Sports Radio Interviews), not only has she seen those things, but she's had legal counsel help her address them as well.
