No, I'm kidding.That's what my dad said to me.When I asked him aboutbeing a sports broadcaster,I would say, start studying now.When I first started out of school,all I knew is about the Florida Gatorsand my dad said to me,there's a lot more than justone team, your favorite team.Start learning about allteams and all sports.Read as much as youcan, look at magazines,newspapers watch, you know, docu series.There's a ton of stuff.There's a ton of information right now,especially with social media.So get as educated as possible.

Of course,you've got the faithful withthe 49ers, Dallas Cowboys.I mean, they're everywhere.They're like the NewYork Yankees of the NFL.So they're super passionate aswell.

Yes,I was finally able to meet Melissa Starkprobably 10 years ago and I told hershe was my Michael Jordanof sideline reportingand I think she thought I was crazy.I was also profusely sweatingat the time because I was soexcited to see her.
Ialso copied her haircut.She had a short blondesituation.
I did that too.After defeating cancer andinforming the public of herexperience, she partnered witha women's health diagnosticcompany, Hologic to launch a campaign.The campaign called WeCan Change This STAT,encourages women to go to thedoctor for their annual exams,as well as getting men toencourage the women in their livesto take their exams. Yeah,that meant a lot to me.I kind of felt like it was kind of my dutyto let men and women know.You need to tell the women inyour life to go get checked.It's such an important thingand as I found out nota lot of people did.So I was glad I was ableto be vocal about that.Okay.

AaronRodgers or Erin Andrews.Well, a physical fight.I have no idea because I don't fight.I actually don't even knowhow in a verbal fight.He's pretty smart.So I feel like he would justsay something super smart.Everyone would be like, all right.So I don't know, but youshouldn't fight physically,that's just mean.
Moving on,YouTube.[upbeat music]This is when I did Watch WhatHappens Live with Andy Cohen.Erin's pink blazer brought me here.
LOL.I guess people talk alot about my blazers.I felt like that one was agood one to wear that hot pinkone because who doesn't lovehot pink and I was trying toget up early in the morningand be funny on Andy.But yeah, I love a blazer,I really kind of amterrible at dressing myself.So I feel like blazersare the best accessoryand the other reason why was no lie,I was just watching an Instagramstory from Cindy CrawfordObsession, and she was sayingher favorite thing to wearwhite t-shirt, blazer, jeans and heelsand she can get away with itanywhere, dressy or non dressy.So the other day we went todinner and I thought I'd make aneffort for my husbandcause I haven't been home.I've been workingfootball and he was like,why are you so dressed up?
AndI was like, Cindy Crawford.I didn't wear the heelsso, just my feet hurt.Loved By You, I'm going to miss Erin,she was so good in the interview room.Her pep talks, her friendly jabs,her emotions.
