TMI from columnist on Erin Andrews in Cubs locker room
The Big Lead uncovered this disturbing column about Erin Andrews' visit to the Cubs' locker room, in which she is described as wearing inappropriate work attire and being a smidgen too friendly with the jocks, and in which the Cubs shamelessly ogle her.
This column achieves a rare double.
For one thing, it besmirches a generally well-liked, well-respected pro who has been remarkably patient and good-natured about her status as the sports media's unofficial sex symbol of the moment.
For another, it blatantly violates man rules. Over the past quarter century I have heard dozens of comments uttered by athletes, coaches and fellow writers when in the presence of attractive female journalists. But I never even thought about repeating them in an article. Holy cow!
Male journalists - all males - have an obligation to fight sexism, discrimination and harassment of women. But guys making harmless comments to other guys about a woman's level of attractiveness?
Dude, that stuff stays between us!

Biast,
Way to go!
What does Jason Varitek -- and his wife -- have to say about all this?
Hint, hint.
ESPN needs to talk to Erin Andrews and tell her what she can and cannot wear on the air. The fact that she did what she did last night is crazy. What she trying to score a date with a player on the Cubs? Come on here. Lou Pinella had every right to be angry at Andrews. I'm sure all female sportscasters are not happy with the stuff that Erin Andrews pull last night.
Shame on you, Neil. You're a total fraud.
if she had no breasts would anyone care about her?
Worthless without pics. Bad job outta you.
Mex was right: women shouldn't be in a major league dugout or clubhouse. Sounds like Erin needs to have a refresher course in Professional Dress.
There's something about Erin Andrews I like, but I can't put my finger on it.
This Nadel character has the biggest accompanying headshot I've ever seen, and it's not close. How about if he quits flaunting his scalp and we'll call it even?
