Women need to make sure they know what they're talking about. You can't just plant yourself in front of a camera and be pretty because that's just not good enough. It's just not a respectable way about building one's career - in sports or anywhere on TV.
Career wise, I think the dream for many of us is some kind of late night type of show. Something where you're allowed to be funny and you get to write, you have guests and you get to do silly skits. That is my ultimate, bucket list career moment.
I thought I was going to go into politics, but that became disheartening. You see that a lot of stuff doesn't get done, people walk around all self-important, and it's just depressing.
I live a much more interesting life in other people's minds.
Moving back to New York is perhaps what I'm most excited about. Alternate side of the road parking. Flip flops on the subway. And any food I want, delivered. Sometimes more than once a day.
I'm going to miss the wind tunnel between Buildings 3 and 4. The ways in which the parking situation forced me to get 'creative.' Bob Ley and his snide comments. Trey Wingo and his snarky comments. Meeting so many people who I respect the hell out of. And the bizarre if not dysfunctional 'SportsNation' family.
Ever since I started all of this TV weirdness, I just tried to make each year better than before professionally.
There's just something about fresh tortillas.
My favorite part of being a sportscaster is the access afforded us to some of the greatest moments in sports. Mine came when I was on the sidelines at the Rose Bowl when Vince Young carried the Longhorns to a fantastic win over Colin's USC Trojans.
