ESPN SportsNation’s Michelle Beadle
First of all, Yes, I realize it’s been ages since I’ve updated the site, please stop emailing me. Now, let’s get to the business at hand: I’ve been seeing Michelle Beadle on ESPN a lot lately, mostly because the net is hyping up her new sports show SportsNation, which she co-hosts with some guy. Bonus brownie points: she’s a fellow UT alum — albeit from San Antonio. But hey, close enough.
Her bio from ESPN:
Michelle Beadle joined ESPN on June 1, 2009, as co-host with Colin Cowherd of the studio show SportsNation on ESPN2 after spending time with 1050 ESPN New York as the New York SportsCenter anchor for ESPN Radio’s The Michael Kay Show. Beadle, who was the pre- and postgame reporter for the New Jersey Nets, also has been a studio anchor, reporter and host for the YES Network on shows such as the Emmy Award-winning Ultimate Road Trip; SportsLife NYC; and Yankees on Deck.
In addition to her work at YES, Michelle was hired in 2007 by People Magazine and People.com, for which she hosts the online feature What You Missed over the Weekend. She has been a Red Carpet reporter for the Golden Globes, Grammy Awards, SAG Awards and the Tony Awards, and contributed for People Magazine on television, appearing on The Today Show, The Early Show, Extra, Access Hollywood and Entertainment Tonight.
Michelle has been the host for Major League Baseball Production’s magazine show Cathedrals of the Game, which brings viewers an inside look at baseball’s most historic stadiums and venues. She was a feature reporter for the NFL Films syndicated program NFL Under the Helmet, which gave an up-close look at the players, coaches and fans of the NFL.
Beadle previously was a primary host and anchor for College Sports Television (CSTV), where she co-hosted the network’s flagship program, The #1 College Sports Show, in addition to CSTV pre- and postgame sports shows and specials.
Also, she hosted the Animal Planet series Animal Planet Report; co-hosted the Travel Channel’s Beach Week series; hosted the Discovery Channel reality series Get Packing and the network’s one-hour specials Inside Orlando’s Resorts and Outrageous Room Service; and hosted I Want Your Job, an original series on the Fine Living Network.
Beadle got her start in television as a reporter for the San Antonio Spurs and Fox Sports Net (Big Game Hunters) and soon moved on to TNN, now known as Spike TV, where she worked as a sideline reporter on the network’s coverage of Professional Bull Riding (PBR). During her time at TNN, Michelle also worked freelance as a reporter for ESPN’s Titan Games and CBS Sports on its coverage of the PBR.
Michelle, who now splits time between New York City and Hartford, Conn., is a graduate of University of Texas-San Antonio.
Also props to Waterdrinker for reminding me of her.

Michelle is fantastic! Smart, pretty, funny and knows sports. It doesn’t get any better than her.

Cute kid. Seems like Cowherd’s kid sister.

Michelle is the total package. She is hot, funny, and she knows her sports. Out of all the sports chicks out there, I think I have to put her on top.

Yeah? You and what army?

She is really hot!! She is also smart and quick witted.
BUT!!!!! You can tell shes worked for the YES network on Sportsnation because she clearly favors the Yankees. As a Red Sox fan its great to look at her rocking body…..but we all wish she would shut her mouth and stop sucking on the Yankee power tit.
P.S……She hates the Pats too!!!

She is very funny. It’s nice to see a beautiful woman into sports as she is. Her knowledge is amazing. I can say that I tuned in just to watch her, and see what she comes up with next. congrats to espn for this find.

I just heard her comments on ESPN about Michael Vick, the debate was whether or not you would support his return. Basically, because “of how she feels about dogs” she “would never forgive him for what he did” and therefore not support him.
Yeah whatever, who cares what you think?
I bet you’re just a perfect human being….right?….right
Get over your righteous self blonde!
let he who hath no sin throw the first stone or should I say Bone.

I would love have a couple beers with her and watch a football game. My next life I want a girl that loves football and beer!

shes the best talk show host on tv sports or not. beautiful girl, smart, funny, and she actually knows sports about time you get a host with all those qualities.plus a ut grad hook ‘em horns.

I am in love with this woman. She is, as others have stated, smart, funny, and gorgeous. She and Colin have great chemistry…definitely a great TV show couple.

Shes ok but a little 2 manly for me

Perky and smart, she’s the perfect counterpoint to the argumentative and sometimes smug Colin Cowherd. Michelle can stay with Herd retort-for-riposte and stuff him when the situation arises. She’s attractive, professional and very fast on her feet. ESPN has a true win-win proposition here: Michelle Beadle and this new show. Let’s hope Michelle eventually graduates from SportsNation and its motley message-board geek audience.

Stunning. Always quick on her feet. She has a lot of knowledge and uses it very tastefully. She is breathtaking and is the by far the best female broadcaster to ever be on the T.V. Keep it up!

Michelle is very eloquent and has a high level of sports knowledge. She knows how to state her opinion without being overpowering. Is very attractive with excellent features, a terrific smile and a super body.

I got hooked as soon as I flipped to SportsNation and saw her. Then I actually listened to her and now I’m hooked on watching the show on a regular basis. Quick-witted was my first impression of Michelle. Then I noticed her acumen in sports matters. Finally, I saw how she can easily dish with Colin Cowherd. How can you not love this chick!

beatoff material!

Michelle,
Hi, it’s me again, Kerry G. I wanting to thank you again for wearing THE PINSTRIPES. But, what I would really like, is for you to let me buy the Yankee Jersey you wore the other night on Sports Nation. I am a die hard, long time Yankees Fan and would love to have the Yankee Jersey you wore that night. Please make my day.
