So I plan to prepare thoroughly and have several outfits waiting in the wings in case of inclement weather.

Theres 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.

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.

So my dad raised me, and he's a huge football fan.

I know I'll be under a spotlight, I know I'll be under the microscope.

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.

In terms of broadcasting, you have to make decisions about where you want to spend your time.

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.

When I'm anchoring, I miss chasing stories in the field.

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.

I would feel infinitely more comfortable in your presence if you would agree to treat gravity as a law, rather than one of a number of suggested options.

You will never say goodbye to the past, until you understand why the flashbacks haunt you.

Your own hands falling out to catch youbefore you hit the ground. All the waysyou save yourself even when youdon't want to.Love is the way your body fights tokeep you alive.Day after day after day.

The thought of being alone when time goes on is a little bit scary sometimes, but not really.

Strictly speaking, the land does not exist; it is merely dehydrated sea.

Keeping kids safe is sometimes a delusion. The world is a perilous place. Sometimes the kitchen is a perilous place.

Please give me fifty more years of work and fun, then an instant death when I'm sleeping.

Choose to live by faith and not fear

He who, conscious of being strong, is content to be weak, he shall be the paragon of mankind. Being the paragon of mankind, Virtue will never desert him. He returns to the state of a little child.

Real craftsmanship, regardless of the skill involved, reflects real caring, and real caring reflects our attitude about ourselves, about our fellowmen, and about life.
