“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.”

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.

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.

Teach your daughters their battle cries are needed far more than their silence and hear them deafen the world with their fearlessness.

Tell your daughters how you love your body. Tell them how they must love theirs.

We already had an adopted daughter, 10-year-old Courtney, from my previous marriage.

They wrapped her up like a baby burrito to show to Mom. Here were a mother and her daughter and I love them both so much.

I’ve always loved music videos – I used to make my own for bands like Pearl Jam.

My favorite directors are Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, and Patrick Daughters.

I’m raising a daughter. I want to be able to say to her, “You can be anything you want. You can be the President of the United States.” I’d love that.

Mom loved my brother more. Not that she didn’t love me – I felt the wash of her love every day.
