“We’re already seeing women breaking down those barriers in what was once male-dominated. There are opportunities for women to fill those roles.”

Hopefully, there isn’t any adjustment at all in terms of what I am doing and what I’m preparing. Obviously, there’s going to be goose bumps. There’s gonna be an adrenaline rush.

If more women would watch women’s sports on TV it would urge [TV] executives to put more on.

I haven’t had anything said to my face. … I don’t know what goes on behind closed doors. I did understand it was out there. That’s one of the reasons I like my partnership with Secret and calling the NFL.

You have more flexibility to switch flights, switch airlines or even leave the airport and get a rental car to drive to your next destination. If the airline has your bag, they also have you.

I always knew I wanted to do it [broadcast]. I was always playing [sports] and I talked a lot too.

In most instances, at all costs, do NOT check a bag. Especially during the holiday season.

Much to my mom’s credit, she said, “Yes, you can.” It didn’t matter to her that no other women were doing it at the time. It didn’t matter to her that there was a double standard. It just mattered that her daughter had a dream and she was going to help her pursue that.

Initially, the only thing that mattered to me – I was too young to understand the politics of the day – was that there was a woman who was covering the NFL.

Don’t be afraid to ask people ‘why,’ ‘what if.’ Don’t be afraid to attack your career. Get in the game, don’t stay on the sidelines.

I have really tried my best to ignore any double standard. I can’t control the expectations of other people. I can control my attitude and my energy, and that’s always been very positive.

For years, more women were steered toward the studio or toward being a reporter. If that’s what you want to do and that’s what you love – by all means, go do it. That’s OK to be ambitious and do things that are out of the norm if that’s the route you want to take.

Every game is an away game. Sometimes its hard to keep up with real life.

The most immutable barrier in nature is between one man’s thoughts and another’s.

There is no age barrier when it comes to Christlike service.
