I made a mock newscast with my friend Amy. We'd set up the camera, an old VHS camcorder, and I did the sports section and interviewed my brother who pretended to be Jay Buhner... against his will, of course.

You don't have to apologize for being feminine in a male space.

I had spent over 10 years in sports, and there's such a natural crossover between entertainment and sports. It's more common to have both of those in your arsenal.

Feminism means to me being comfortable with who you are as a woman and being unapologetic about it.

I was obsessed with my dad, and my dad would refuse to go to church with us on Sundays because football was on. So I thought to myself, how could I spend more time with my dad? I started watching football with him every Sunday, and it was just something I fell in love with.

I look at the Chrissy Teigens of the world, who I absolutely love, and I wish that I could say some of the stuff that she says. But I know where I want to go in my career path and I know that there are some things I can't say.

I have the best of both worlds. I can talk about Taylor Swift during the day, and at night I can sit in front of the TV and watch Thursday night football. At some point, if the two converge and it becomes one job where I can still talk about both, that would be amazing.
