I know I'll be under a spotlight, I know I'll be under the microscope. |
There's that initial reticence for some athletes to take you seriously. |
In the morning, I reach for the sports page. |
On my morning run, I listen to sports talk radio. |
You just have to hope that they'll grant you an interview. |
I'm not going to relate to an athlete as a peer. |
I've always been around dudes and sports. |
I want to know about what makes an athlete tick. |
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. |
I grew up watching Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell and the other guys with my dad. |
