Blog Show No. 51: ESPN’s Erin Andrews
By Jamie Mottram | June 3, 2008
Since interviewing her last Thursday for Blog Show (video below), a lot of folks have asked, “What’s she like?” Well …
We met in the hotel lobby, made small talk, did the interview and took goofy photos all in just 30 minutes, so it’s kind of hard to say, though she was surprisingly gracious, jocular and unguarded. And while she’s even prettier in-person than on TV, it’s not in a sexpot kind of way. She seems more like a best girl friend than your best friend’s girl, so to speak.
She’s also the type who says “scandal” after spilling water on her iPhone, describes SI.com Hot Clicks editor Jimmy Traina as “so cute” and uses jargon like “good get” when discussing her interview with Jon Lester.
All of these things endear her to you as she’s somewhat of a sensation, yet you’d never know it in talking unless you brought it up. Of course, it is brought up in the following interview that’s rather difficult to watch; if only because no one looks good when sharing a screen with Erin Andrews.

Ok, now cover your wife’s eyes and tell us what you really think.

My favorite part was when Jamie gave Agent Steinz a “Whoa there, buddy” look after he dropped the workout clothes line.
Someone needs to parse that and make it a separate YouTube video. It’s got dramatic chipmunk potential, methinks.

By the way, could she come off more likable?

Jimmy Traina owes us a week’s worth of Hot Clicks links for this.

Absolutely not on the more likable part.
Personal favorite part = Dan’s laugh when Erin suggests no one will read her blog.

@Postman: Agreed, that was terrific.
She seems pretty damn cool. Fist bump for Jamie, since he managed to keep his composure. If I were her, I’d be glad you were sitting between Dan and me. Yikes.

Personal favorite part II = “you should start your own blog.”
“Do you think anyone will come? What if no one comes?”
Oh, Erin. Don’t be coy. You know there are a few thousand people sure to come.

“Being awkward is one of our things…”
Classic.
