We're starting to push the envelope in terms of the expectations, and you can also have your own style, personality and sense of humor, because now we're allowed to.Collection: Humor
You mean the fact that Tom Arnold would spend more time with the hair and makeup people 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.
There's that initial reticence for some athletes to take you seriously.
I grew up watching Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell and the other guys with my dad.
When I found out I got this job, I cried, of course - I'm a girly-girl - and then I called my dad, and he cried, too. On so many levels, this is a thrill for me.
I'm proud of being Hispanic.
And I'm proud of what I do as a professional, too.
Being attractive and being credible can and do go together.
And that Michael Irvin would care more about his wardrobe than I would?
I've always been the only girl in those environments. It's comfortable for me - I prefer it, actually.
I know I'll be under a spotlight, I know I'll be under the microscope.
My approach is a very human one, as a fan.
I'm not going to relate to an athlete as a peer.
I want to know about what makes an athlete tick.
So I plan to prepare thoroughly and have several outfits waiting in the wings in case of inclement weather.
I love color and I love to dress like a woman.
No, one of the great things about my three-year deal is that it's year-round. They've offered me an opportunity to cover a lot of things in the offseason, too.
In terms of broadcasting, you have to make decisions about where you want to spend your time.
When I'm anchoring, I miss chasing stories in the field.
I was so afraid that the athletes wouldn't talk to me because I'm a woman.
You just have to hope that they'll grant you an interview.
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.
