“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.”

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.

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

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.

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.

Always do one thing less than you think you can do.

If you have an over-preoccupation with perception and trying to please people’s expectations, then you can go mad.

You can’t live someone else’s expectations in life. It’s a recipe for disaster.

I guess I’ll never measure up to anyone’s expectations. I surely don’t measure up to what I’d like to be.

I find it really interesting that people are shocked by the raw, natural representation of a woman and a man’s body.

People who believe in a divine creator, trying to live their lives in obedience to his supposed wishes and in expectation of a supposed eternal reward, are victims of the greatest confidence trick of all time.

We don’t have a lot of expectations [for Donald J. Trump] because the American administration is not only about the President; it’s about different powers within this administration, the different lobbies that they are going to influence any President.

Americans love marriage too much. We rush into mariage with abandon, expecting a micro-Utopia on earth. We pile all our needs onto it, our expectations, neuroses, and hopes. In fact, we’ve made marriage into the panda bear of human social institutions: we’ve loved it to death.
