ERIN ANDREWS IS NOT HOT, MICHELE TAFOYA IS A BRAWLER.
Addicted To Quack states without reservation that Erin Andrews, renowned college football sideline reporter/hottie, is not hot. As a Florida grad and fan, we feel obligated to stick up for her, debate, insist that she’s tre fine, etc…but we like the curvy, knife-carrying type with a master’s degree or two. That ain’t Andrews.
Nice, but does not own a knife or master’s degree.
What Andrews is: a competent, knowledgeable sideline reporter who doesn’t feel like ass and titties grafted onto the hide of an otherwise fine football broadcast. (Hallo, Jill Arrington.) Andrews is out and done in thirty seconds or so, usually leaving behind something relevant to the game unfolding in front of you. And that, for someone not into the overcontested skinny blond with big boobs category, is her hottest attribute.
Though this…
Then one morning you wake up, roll over, and realize that you just spent your evening fucking the brains out of Michelle Tafoya.
…is just uncalled for, since we know for a fact that Michelle’s got verve, dammit, and that can lead to some spicy indoor leg wrestling, indeed. But don’t believe us…believe the internet:
Michele caused a bit of embarrassing national controversy for herself as she attended the 2003 University of Michigan-University of Minnesota football game at the Metrodome. According to reports, a drunken Tafoya did not take kindly to rowdy fans below her suite. She dumped a cup of beer [2] (perhaps two) on the fans, drenching many others below, hitting one 13-year-old girl in the eye.[3] Witnesses say she also went on a profanity-laced tirade. Police were called to her suite, removing her from the game.
THAT’S a woman we can watch a game with, sirs. The record of public drunkenness and fighting, an MBA from Southern Cal, and every other factor is adding up to one very important sum: Sugar Momma. All you have to do with her is pay bail and watch the game with her, something we do with half our friends and family members anyway. You get Erin Andrews, and we imagine you’ll be competing in the World’s Emotionally Strongest Man Contest in no time flat whether you liked it or not.
We’ll opt for Tafoya any day, especially because of her Latino blood, since as the governor of California reminds us, they are “hot” and “They have, you know, part of the black blood in them and part of the Latino blood that together makes it.”

Tafoya: beer-tossing, pantsuit-rocking potential.

Speaking of a woman I can watch a game with, I am proud to announce that Mrs. RedDevilEA and I just found out that we’re having a baby. And no, it will not be named Woody Tressel Griffin George Pace. Texas doesn’t know what’s coming.

All well and good, but ’tis a shame that you could go an entire post without mention of your favorite sideliner, The Holly Rowe.
Have you moved on? And if so, be prepared for The Rowe to shiv Tafoya in knock-down, startlingly violent sideline showdown ,ending with a blood-drenched Rowe victoriously holding the severed ear of Tafoya aloft and calmly saying, “Back to you, Ron!”

#2 - I once told Holly Rowe, “I masturbate to [her],” from the second row of Kinnick. She pretended like she didn’t find it charming, but she’s probably gone so long without hearing it again that she longs for the golden days of 2002, when she gave one special Hawkeye fan a semi.

I guess it’s known that Suzy Kolber prefers a nice plush carpet opposed to devouring a meat popsicle… but are we sure Michelle isn’t of the same mindset? BTW, met Jill Arrington a few years ago on the sidelines at Army/Navy and even amongst the sea of military females, she was still not attractive. As a proud graduate of one this country’s military academies, I can attest that that’s a tough feat in itself.

EA really is a good sideline reported. I like the fact that coaches will admit stuff to her because they’re looking at her D’ecolletage. I really don’t think she’s all that hot but I’m not into blondes or non-flexible proboscises.

I used to think Michelle Tafoya was hot until someone pointed out that the object of my masturbatory intentions was actually Hannah Storm. This Michelle Tafoya troubles me. I like the fact that she’ll cut a bitch but her fingers look like creepy little sausages.
Even with mittens I couldn’t do her. Sorry, Michelle!

Cal Berkeley Dept:
Ms. Tafoya is also a Cal grad, so she must drive her hubby nuts when he tries to pull a fast one on her.
I do not know, but is having a relationship with a woman that is way smarter than you, and with a mouth like that worth it? I could probably take equal or a little smarter, but that’s it.

#11… I’m telling you… when you stand toe to toe with her and talk with her for even 5 seconds, all attraction goes out the window. Making small talk with her was about as awkward as a retard humping a football. No offense to any retards reading this right now.

I really liked Michelle during the NBA Championship.
Michelle: I spoke with Coach Popovich when he was coming out of the locker room. He said that the Spurs needed to play better defense, cut down on the turnovers, and knock down more shots. He also made a point that the Spurs need to stop the Cavs from getting open shots. Back to you guys.
Only ESPN/ABC/Disney/Satan could give you in depth reporting like that.

Agree with Cruzer. Jill Arrington is HOTT. I spent the better part of a 52-0 UF assraping of MSU in the Swamp screaming at Miss Arrington so as to avoid the debacle on the field. Things such as, “I know you’re real name is Tiffany, girls named Tiffany are naughty and dance for money!” I haven’t been served with a restraining order….yet.

Robert, the make-up was on pretty thick as well. On second thought, maybe I was expecting too much out of her to begin with. If we’re simply talking about pounding her flesh canyon with disregard for simple conversation as a medium to get us to the bedroom, I’m sure my opinion could be swayed.

I’m sorry if this sounds like an overly harsh generalization, but anybody who doesn’t think Erin Andrews is hot is a god-damned commie fascist al-Qaeda sympathizer who hates everything good about America, and is probably also homosexual.
Now, as for Jill Arrington — yeah, she’s hot, but Michigan Gator hit the nail right on the head. Her postgame interview with Mark Richt after the ‘02 UGA-SC game, in which she referred to David Pollack as “David Po-lack” — as in “someone who hails from Poland” — was the jump-the-shark moment at which she became just another dumb blonde. I’m convinced that she was the inspiration for the character of Jillian, Brian’s girlfriend on “Family Guy.”

I tell a tale of a girl, but I call her a woman
She’s a little bit older than me
Strong legs, strong face, voice like milk, breasts like a cluster of grapes
I can’t escape the ways she raise me
She’ll make you feel like Solomon be one of your babies even if you had no one
(And while we’re at it baby, why don’t you tell me one of your biggest fears?)
Took my sleep after setting my loins on fire

Just out of fairness Michigan Gator, do you really think she’s going to get into some deep intelligent discussion on the sidelines with a stadium full of (mostly) young men yelling things at her?
Heck the extent of my vocabulary during the game boils down to “Whoooooo!!!!!” and “Fuckingthrewitrightathimpullyourheadoutofyourasssomebodyshootme”

Erin was at UF this year and ripped on a bunch of UF sorority girls for thinking they could do her job because they have tits and an ass. And remember, she got her start with the Tampa Bay Lightning and wasn’t too bad. If she can hang with hockey players, she’s a cool broad.
Another note for EA…there is a picture of her in the mens’ room at Swamp Resturant with the rest of the 1998 dazzlers. Hooray!

I used to work with Erin and I can confirm that she was beautiful in college and has only gotten more so after graduating. For those who babble about curves, I don’t know what you’re talking about. She is exceptionally curvy, she just doesn’t have a gut. She is also freaking tall, which is great and she knows a SHITLOAD about sports. Whoever lands Erin will be a lucky, lucky guy.
I also met Jill Arrington a couple times working as a reporter and she is really not that hot. She looks like Ann Coulter except without that word-vomiting evil behind her eyes, and Arrington has a little bit of a mustache.

Tafoya used to fill-in on the “Sports” talk station up here in Minneapolis, and my opinion is that ESPN has dumbed her (and perhaps others) down so their viewers will understand what she’s saying. I think she used to take an akward joy in making Vikings and Timberwolves fans seem retarded(er?) by destroying their views on what happened in games.

On a more serious note, I’m also an expectant father (what kind of horsesh*t language is that phrase?)— I’m working out a plan to get headphones large enough for a severely pregnant woman’s stomach, so the kid can start his college football addiction early.

Great Contest Dept:
In the doldrums of the college football off-season it would be a good idea to see which sports reporter babe would win he “hottest” babe contest. Dump them all in a sweet 16 and each week have vote to see who would win. I do not think EA would win, though.

This appears to be the essence of the Duck argument:
“The obsessives in the CFB blogosphere stare at these 20-something men all day every Saturday during the fall, generally see the likes of Holly Rowe, et al., and so when Erin Andrews comes along, they all go nuts.”
I would argue that a converse effect is actually true. When these fanboys sit around all the time watching near perfect women in movies, wrestling entourages, porn, etc., they build up an ideal in their head, so when someone who is just normally knock-out gorgeous (but yet not perfect, or perfected) they act unimpressed. Those same fanboys, if seeing EA on the street, would stop what they were doing, gawk uncontrollably, and then go lock their bedroom door.
Is EA “TV hot”? Probably not. Is she every day hot? Hell yes. Is she “college football” hot? Like the surface of the sun.

RDEA, as the uncle of 7, father of 0-and-staying-that-way, you are in for the ride of your life. Good luck to Mrs RDEA and you.
Now, back to the topic… everyone here must know that the one thing all pretty girls have in common is that someone out there is tired of their act.
Is it just me, or is Erin Andrews a wee bit wall-eyed? I know I can’t be too picky, but that’s a little unsettling. If it’s a bakeoff, I’ll take Tafoya and the spice.

RDEA, congratulations; be ready for the fact that leaping off the couch shrieking like a banshee while watching college football at home will 1) make small children cry, and 2) raise your wife’s suspicions about the quality of child-minding that you are providing. Or so I have discovered.
Will, when they are that close to bursting out, they don’t need headphones. My older daughter used to get gyroscopic in utero when J Lo songs came on the radio while my wife was driving - in protest, I like to think. Just turn the volume up a bit.

MichGator…”baby zipper”? Classic.
M. Tafoya got the heisman from Spurrier at Florida after a particularly bad first half several years ago…her expression recovered quickly, but not soon enough to hide her irritation with the pert comment from the OBC…and bunda or not, she still looked like 10 pounds in a 5 pound bag.

I have to laugh at Michelle T for pouring beer out of the luxury suite. I think sitting in those things just brings out distain for the “common rabble” in the rest of the stadium (even though nearly all of them are actually paid for by the public via tax write-offs)

HFS-that is more my argument than Addicted to Quack’s. although I think he and I are in agreement.
The bottom line is this-when I was in Athens and going to all the games, I wouldn’t have noticed Erin Andrews had she been on the sidelines. There was much better eye candy in the stands, and tailgating outside the stadium.
And if that’s not (or wasn’t) the case for you, you picked the wrong school.
And, for the record, I don’t much care for women that society seems to think are good-looking. My fantasy women are women like Sarah McLachlan or Kate Winslet, not women like Paris Hilton or Angelina Jolie.
I’m not “acting like I’m unimpressed” because EA doesn’t measure up to some ideal, I’m just unimpressed because she’s pretty average.

Erin: Hey guys, how are those milkshakes up there, huh? Thanks for sharing!
Mike: Those are delicious, Erin. You can have what’s left. We’ll send that down . . . You don’t look like you’ve ever had a milkshake, Erin.

So EA isn’t hot because she doesn’t compare to Southern college coeds? That may be an even more impossible standard than “TV hot”. Any idea what EA looked like in college?
P.S. Paris Hilton is a skank.
Comment by HFS — July 3, 2025 @ 8:49 am

Yeah, if you’re looking for people who actually think Paris Hilton is hot, you’re not likely to find any here. I think Paris’s sexual attraction has pretty much been limited to hormonal boys between the ages of 11 and 15 who would be hard-pressed to pick a vagina out of a lineup, and even then it’s a “Wow, she drives a Mercedes SLR and she’d probably put out!” kind of attraction. Doesn’t exactly appeal on a mature level, in other words.
Comment by Doug — July 3, 2025 @ 9:06 am

HFS-I do know what EA looked like in college, actually. I am not sure how this is supposed to matter.
Different strokes for different folks-I was just taking issue with the claim that I can’t appreciate some sort of painfully plain but still beautiful sideline reporter, because there’s some sort of ideal that she doesn’t measure up to. I think what is most beautiful about Southern coeds is that they don’t look like models-at least, not the ones I was into. In other words, I don’t particular like the “beautiful” types, and I also don’t care for EA. End of story.
Doug-I thought a few weeks ago in one of your posts, you said that you thought Paris Hilton was hot, which left me quite a bit troubled. I would actually agree with your assessment, I think she is one of the nastier human beings on the planet.
To that end, Doug, I think you could also add the media to that group that finds her attractive.
