Heather Cox
Okay, okay, so I know I put the wrong Heather Cox here in the beginning. I knew it was the wrong person, I just never got around to fixing it, and thanks for all the emails telling me what a dope I was for getting the two similarly named persons mixed up. Anyways, here’s the correct bio for the correct Heather Cox — i.e. the ESPN reporter, not the American Idol loser. In my own defense, I’m not the only person who mixed up the two, and in fact the confusion still continues!
From Wikipedia:
Heather Cox is a sideline reporter for WNBA, college basketball and college football games on ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC. Played college volleyball at University of the Pacific. She is also a frequent guest of the 25 minute show.
Not much there. But oh well, you came here for the pictures, didn’t you? Well there’s only one good one, below, and a video.

A Heather Mitts wanna be. She isnt good looking enough to overcome her lack of talent.
December 5th, 2006 at 10:51 am
I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating crackers. But what the hell about being on American Idol made ESPN think she would be good for sideline reporting at football games? What the hell does she know about football? I’d rather have an ugly man or woman on TV who knows the game and can add something to my viewing experience. Otherwise, it’s just a dumb distraction that makes me wanna turn down the TV sound and listen to the radio.
February 22nd, 2007 at 1:21 pm
Umm, this isn’t the same Heather Cox that is on ESPN. Heather Cox has been employed at ESPN since 1994, long before American Idol was even dreamed about. Check her out in the listings for .
January 9th, 2008 at 9:51 pm
This is not the ESPN Heather Cox. The Heather Cox that works for ESPN was a volleyball player at Pacific and has been with ESPN longer than American Idol had even been thought of. You guys might want to get the right picture up.
January 31st, 2008 at 11:30 pm
Yea the Heather Cox pictured above is not the ESPN one. The ESPN one is close to 40 years old, if not over that hump by now…but still fairly good looking. She’s so overly friendly it’s a little peculiar. I chatted with her at game 3 of the 2006 WNBA Finals. Cheers.
March 29th, 2008 at 1:10 am
Heather Cox (the ESPN one) is 37 years old, turning 38 this year. Still got a bit before 40!
August 10th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Yes, the Heather pictured above is the real Heather Cox. Before you go and write something about someone that you obviously don’t know. Keep it to yourself!
January 26th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
I think Heather is absoutly delicious!
January 27th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
My son & I caught her interviewing Ray Allen and my son said, “I bet that girl is standing on a box”! How tall is Heather!?
April 29th, 2009 at 4:56 am
Super delicious lady. She played volleyball in college and on a pro circuit. Best Guess? 5’11”
August 28th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Umm, she’s my aunt and this is definetly the wrong picture. just fyi…

September 4th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
I think she’s actually pretty hot and she definitely knows sports. She’s also about 6’0″ tall, a great athlete (played D1 volleyball), is still in good shape and could probably kick John Brady’s ass if he got too uppity with her.
November 21st, 2009 at 5:11 pm
i think she is very hot much more than erin andrews
December 5th, 2009 at 5:32 pm
heather cox hotter than a saturday night pistel.
December 25th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
I think she’s a good looking woman. I would destroy her.
April 25th, 2010 at 6:42 pm
I found a card out of 2007 Donruss Americana of Heather Cox (card number 60). On the front of the card is a picture of the American Idol Heather Cox and on the back of the card it states the following:
“A college volleyball player at the University of Pacific, Heather Cox first found the national spotlight as one of the 24 finalists on the fifth season of American Idol. Shortly thereafter, she was hired as a sideline reporter for ESPN. She also works for ABC.”
So, apparently, there are no fact checkers working for Donruss. They probably had a guy google the name “Heather Cox” and just morphed the reporter and the singer together on the back of this card with the younger Heather as the photo. I didn’t know how to upload a photo on here, but it was a minor victory to hunt that card down after watching the NBA playoffs and saying to myself, “NO WAY IS THAT THE SAME WOMAN FROM THAT CARD!”
Maybe i could write for Donruss: Michael Jackson was a singer in the Jackson 5 and went on to become a wide receiever for the Baltimore Ravens in the late 1990′s.
May 18th, 2010 at 7:33 pm
I think she is a georgeous woman. Totally agree with the ones that think she is hot. I also beleive she is sexier than Erin Andrews. One of my top hotties here. Love You Heather.
May 24th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
Beach Volleyball as well as regular Volleyball is really fun and it is a good way to exercise your body too.~~:
June 12th, 2010 at 6:21 pm

when i was still younger i used to play volleyball near the beach front, what a great sport~,’
September 29th, 2010 at 1:30 pm
i got injured while playing volleyball but what the heck, this is a fun game~,”
October 14th, 2010 at 2:52 am
my girlfriend really likes volleyball, we also enjoy playing volleyball each afternoon-~~
December 29th, 2010 at 12:44 am
i saw her in atlanta for a football game. man, she is a tall woman, and very beautiful. i waived at her and she actually waved back. never got to talk to her though. would love to take her out if she isn’t married.
January 5th, 2011 at 11:54 pm
ESPN’s Heather Cox is very pretty ,very nice and a great reporter to boot.
January 6th, 2011 at 11:43 pm
Will the real Heather Cox please stand up? OK, I’m not her, but my name is Heather Cox and neither of those pictures even resemble me!
January 15th, 2011 at 3:39 pm
There’s something about women who wear glasses,just ask Heather Cox-or Tina Fey.
February 13th, 2011 at 4:45 pm
Greg that’s your aunt?! Kinda creepy you’re looking up your aunt on sidelinehotties.com FYI!
February 28th, 2011 at 12:15 pm
We all know Heather Cox is very pretty,nice,etc.,but is she any relation to former ESPN and NBC Sports reporter Gayle Gardner? They look alot alike.
March 26th, 2011 at 10:35 pm
Heather Cox is BEAUTIFUL!!! AND A DAMN GOOD REPORTER..ONE OF THE BEST.. DEBBIE ANTONELLI ,ERIN ANDREWS (YUMMY) SHES THE SAME ONE WHOS BEEN ON ESPN FOR A LONG TIME..
May 30th, 2011 at 7:54 pm
Maybe NBC ought to loan her for their NHL telecasts next season or perhaps she ought to be a sideline reporter for the NFL on Fox.
May 30th, 2011 at 8:01 pm
I wish i could imagine her at a local dance hall dressed in a tuxedo outfit. That being a black long sleeve tail jacket, black bow tie, white tuxedo shirt, black spandex tights & black boots.
I’d like to see Kerry Sayers from Big Ten Network, Fox Chicago & 670 The Score(WSCR-AM in Chicago)join ESPN one of these days. I’d really would like to see Sayers & Cox on the same network.
August 21st, 2011 at 1:38 pm
The first time i saw Heather Cox, she almost looked like Linda Cohn.
August 29th, 2011 at 6:48 pm
It’s too bad that this Heather Cox could not succeed Mary Hart on “ET”. Otherwise, she could of recorded a CD & could of had a variety special in which in this case could of gone by her full name, Heather Schoney Cox.
August 29th, 2011 at 7:20 pm
I wonder who Heather Cox’s favorite singer is? Bonnie Raitt? Ellen MacIlwaine? Donna Summer? I wonder if she listens to The Eagles? (No, not the Philly Eagles, but the band.) If so, i’m sure she remembers “Hotel California”. I wonder if she listens to the band from Seattle known as Heart? I wonder if she remembers “Dog & Butterfly”? I wonder if she’s seen “Footloose”? Is she really from California? if so, where? L.A.? San Fran? Sacramento? San Diego? Now, getting back to Ellen MacIlwaine, i wonder if she remembers “All to You”? Had this Heather Cox recorded a CD under her full name Heather Schoney Cox, she could of done a take on Raitt by singing “Slow Ride”. She could of also done a take on MacIlwaine by singing “All to You” & would be done just like the 1987 remake of the 1973 original, but with Cox on both vocals & tambourine. I wonder if she remembers Summer singing “The Woman in Me”? Or maybe Heart’s version from 1994. Note that Summer first did that song in Late 1982/Early 1983.
August 29th, 2011 at 7:56 pm
I’m sure Cox remembers “Allies”. Had that woman had a variety special, perhaps she could of sang MacIlwaine’s “All to You” as the opening # & one of the guests would of been The Indigo Girls. I wonder if she remembers “I Can’t Wait” by Nu Shooz” or maybe “French Kissin’ in the U.S.A.” by Deborah Harry. One of these days, she ought to be a guest host on ABC’s “The View”.
I wonder what credit card she carries? Visa? Mastercard? American Express? Discover? I’d like to see a photo of her when this Heather Cox(not the American Idol loser)was a Volleyball player posted on-line. If this Heather Cox had a daytime talk/variety show of her own, she for one could of worn the outfit that i(12th Man)posted back on 5/30/11 as she would be singing the opening musical #, perhaps the afore mentioned “All to You”.
August 30th, 2011 at 9:10 pm
I wonder if she remembers “1999″ by Prince? What about “Making plans for Nigel” by XTC? If she’s isn’t married and were to get married, they ought to have that love theme from “Footloose”, “Almost Paradise” sung at her wedding & at the reception, The B-52s “Love Shack” ought to be sung.
August 30th, 2011 at 9:14 pm
I wonder if Cox has seen the 1981 movie “The Night The Lights Wen Out in Georgia”? You know, the one with Kristi McNichol.
August 30th, 2011 at 9:16 pm
BTW, i forgot the T in Went.
September 4th, 2011 at 8:25 pm
I thought Heather Cox did a good job of covering the WNBA All-Star Game back in July on ABC as well as the Seattle Storm’s season opener vs. Phoenix back on June 4th which also aired on ABC.
September 5th, 2011 at 6:57 pm
I wonder if Heather Cox listens to Alanis Morissette?
September 5th, 2011 at 7:16 pm
Morissette you know is from Canada.
September 6th, 2011 at 3:00 pm
I thought Heather Cox did a good job of covering the Maryland/Miami game on ESPN last night.
September 6th, 2011 at 9:10 pm
I wonder if Heather Cox listens to Colbie Caillat? I bet she doesn’t remember the late Wrestling star Ravishing Rick Rude. Maybe when she’s in Seattle, she probably listens to 103.7 The Mountain.
September 8th, 2011 at 10:17 am
If we were to re-create the 1980 Tournament of Roses Parade, i could imagine Cox amongst that group of marching women dressed white tuxes & boy, i tell ya, there was lots of leg right there. Perhaps i’d like to see her(Heather Cox)as a spokeswoman for Levi’s Jeans for Women.
September 8th, 2011 at 11:20 pm
Heather Cox ought to know that 103.7 The Mountain(KMTT-FM in Seattle)is streaming online. She might want to google KMTT. I’m sure she even listens to ESPN’s own radio network simply enough, ESPN Radio. even if she’s listening to Mike & Mike in the Morning. I, like everyone else including Cox misses a fellow Disney/ABC co-worker & a true radio icon Paul Harvey, who passed away in 2009. Now that he’s gone, we’ll still have a lifetime of as Paul put it,
“Good Day-s”.
September 8th, 2011 at 11:21 pm
Heather Cox rocks.
September 12th, 2011 at 8:26 pm
If Heather Cox is an American Express cardholder, she ought to do a comercial for them.
September 15th, 2011 at 9:29 am
I wonder if Heather Cox remembers the old Talking Heads song “Burning down the house”?
September 15th, 2011 at 9:52 pm
Heather Cox in 2012.
September 15th, 2011 at 9:54 pm
I think she’s doing a good job of covering the Storm/Mercury playoff game for ESPN2 tonight.
September 17th, 2011 at 4:33 pm
I think she’s doing a good job of covering the Washington/Nebraska game for ABC today.
September 21st, 2011 at 8:18 am
Congrats to the Phoenix Mercury on moving on to the 2nd round of the WNBA playoffs & hopefully the Seattle Storm will win their 3rd WNBA titile next year. Complements to Heather Cox on working Game 3 of the Storm/Mercury playoff series for ESPN2 while on ESPN, the Giants were beating the Rams on Monday Night Football.
September 21st, 2011 at 5:37 pm
I know that the only Football that Heather Cox covers is the College game, but it’s time that the Supreme Court abolished the NFL’s blackout policy because fans of their hometown NFL teams have a right to watch the home games of their home team sellout or no sellout.
September 28th, 2011 at 3:58 pm
It’s time that Heather Cox had a Facebook page as well as a Twitter page.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:03 pm
I thought Heather Cox did a good job covering Game 2 of the WNBA Finals between the Lynx & the Dream tonight.
October 8th, 2011 at 1:03 pm
I’m sure that Ms. Cox is expressing condolences to the family of Raiders owner Al Davis, who died today. He may be gone, but the Commitment to Excellence will live on. God Bless that man.
October 8th, 2011 at 1:07 pm
If Cox is reading this, she did a good job on covering last night’s game 3 of the WNBA Finals for ESPN2 last night in which the Lynx swept the Dream.
October 9th, 2011 at 5:02 pm
I could picture Heather Cox in a dance hall wearing an late 70s-early 80s Vancouver Canucks jersey, spandex shorts & yes, black boots.
October 9th, 2011 at 7:42 pm
I could picture her dancing to Bonnie Raitt’s “Slow Ride”.
October 12th, 2011 at 7:51 am
How ’bout Prince’s “1999″?
October 13th, 2011 at 8:55 pm
If Heather Cox were in Seattle during 1983-84, she could been listening to such now-defunct New Wave rockers such as KYYX, which was at 96.5 FM(now KJAQ a.k.a. JACK-FM)or KJET, which was at 1590 AM(now KLFE a.k.a. Freedom 1590). If she was in Seattle during the late ’80s, she could of checked out an old station at 98.9 FM known as KEZX(now KLCK a.k.a. Click 98.9). KEZX did play Ellen MacIlwaine. Perhaps next time she’s in Seattle, she ought to check out KEXP 90.3 FM. That station is also heard on-line by Googling KEXP. Perhaps she ought to be a guest DJ on SiriusXM satellite radio where she’s playing songs by The Eagles, Bonnie Raitt, XTC, Prince, Donna Summer, Ellen MacIlwaine & Heart.
October 14th, 2011 at 8:31 am
I’m sure Heather Cox remembers the old Nu Shooz song from the ’80s called “I Can’t Wait”. I could only picture her in dancing to that song dressed in a local dance hall dressed in the tux w/spandex tights, ect.
October 20th, 2011 at 8:16 am
I’m sure that Heather Cox is tuned to ABC News or loged on to the ABC News website learning of the death of Moammar Gadhafi.
October 21st, 2011 at 10:35 pm
I bet that Heather Cox didn’t know that the Seattle Seahawks did not win a single home game during the 1980 in which they went 4-12 that year.
October 21st, 2011 at 10:40 pm
I didn’t include the word “Season” in my post. Sorry. Again, 1980 was the year the Seattle Seahawks went 0-8 at home & 4-12 overall.
October 21st, 2011 at 10:44 pm
Heather Cox, if you’re reading this, i bet you don’t remember what the Seattle Seahawks record was during the strike-shortened 1982 season. It was 4-5. The next year, they went 9-7 & would lose to the Raiders in the AFC Title Tilt on 1-8-84 while the silver & black would win the big game in Tampa 2 weeks later.
October 21st, 2011 at 10:55 pm
Seattle went 2-12 in their first season, 1976. In 1992, it was even worse when they went 2-14. At that time, Cox was 2 years away from joining ESPN while in 1976, she was only 8 & in grade school.
October 21st, 2011 at 11:21 pm
Maybe that woman ought to check out the Seahawks records over the years.

i would eat the corn out of her poop
October 24th, 2011 at 10:55 pm
I wonder if Heather Cox can remember seeing Joe Garagiola, then of NBC’s old Saturday Baseball Game of the Week appear w/Dick Clark on The $20,000 Pyramid during it’s run on ABC in the ’70s?
October 27th, 2011 at 6:15 pm
I’d like to see the ESPN Heather Cox as a guest on Ellen. Perhaps she ought to be on Rachael Ray, not to mention Live! Perhaps she ought to be on Jimmy Kimmel’s show on ABC.
October 29th, 2011 at 2:51 pm
Congrats to the St. Louis Cardinals on winning the World Series. I’d bet Ms. Cox that our Seattle Mariners will win the WS next year.
November 16th, 2011 at 4:59 pm
If Santa Claus is reading this, have him give Heather Cox a copy of Ellen MacIlwaine’s “Looking for Trouble” CD for X-Mas.
November 16th, 2011 at 6:41 pm
I wonder what kind of car she drives? A Honda CR-V?
November 17th, 2011 at 12:15 pm
If Santa is reading this, please give Heather Cox a late ’70s-early ’80s Vancouver Canucks jersey for X-Mas.
November 24th, 2011 at 2:28 pm
I’m sure Heather Cox is enjoying some turkey on this Thanksgiving Day 2011 & if Santa is reading this, please give her a N.Y. Islanders jersey 4 X-Mas.
November 28th, 2011 at 9:01 am
If Santa is reading this, please give Heather Cox a long pillowy-sleeve leotard for X-Mas.
December 5th, 2011 at 7:42 pm
All i want for Christmas is Heather Cox.
December 11th, 2011 at 3:15 pm
i wonder if Heather Cox remembers a Natalie Merchant song called “Carnaval”?
December 15th, 2011 at 6:50 pm
I wonder if Heather Cox remembers seeing “The American Sportsman w/Curt Gowdy” on ABC when she was a kid? Gowdy at the time also did Baseball & NFL broadcasts for NBC including the infamous “Heidi Game” from ’68.
December 23rd, 2011 at 11:34 am
If ABC went back to airing game shows during daytime & aired a new version of one that they aired back in 1977 called “Second Chance”, perhaps Heather Cox could of gone on that along w/Erin Andrews & Kerry Sayers, that if she were to join ESPN one day. They would be playing for charity.
December 23rd, 2011 at 5:22 pm
I wonder what time will Santa arrive at Heather Cox’s house tomorrow night?
December 24th, 2011 at 12:58 am
I’m sure that Ms. Cox has left milk & cookies for Santa.
December 26th, 2011 at 7:31 pm
I thought that Heather Cox did a good job of covering the Lakers/Bulls game for ABC yesterday. Boy, aren’t we all glad that the NBA is back or what?
December 31st, 2011 at 12:59 am
i think Heather Cox is the absolute worst female sideline reporter. In fact when tthey go to her i turn i t. i cant stand listening to the worst sideline reporter ever. First of all she is so FAKE. She doesnt know a thing about football, basketball any sport but volley ball. When she is interviewing anybody she thinks it score her points to ask the whant she thinks” tough questions” but in reality negative questions to everyone she interviews. And then after talking to a Head coach or a Player the Nonknowing Heather Cox, give them permission go celebrate with your team. I am going to tell you i wish they would put a black square to cover her when she is interviewing if they wont take her off the air, because she thinks she belongs and i would vote to not run the show if she was the sideline reporter. Get the nonknowing uneducated in sports fake that HEATHER COX IS and get her off tv, the air, and definitely out of sports. Maybe she could disappear to QVC, a channel i never watch or better yet a channel that has not be created or will not be created, yes thats right completely out of sports. SHE KNOWS absolutely NOTHING about sports
December 31st, 2011 at 8:56 pm
Oh come on. I could imagine her playing Guitar Hero.
January 2nd, 2012 at 11:07 pm
I think Ms. Cox is doing a good job of covering tonight’s Fiesta Bowl on ESPN.
January 3rd, 2012 at 9:19 pm
Credit Heather Cox for covering tonight’s Sugar Bowl for ESPN Radio. Perhaps she ought to be the spokeswoman for Leggs Sheer Energy Panty Hose.
January 9th, 2012 at 7:27 pm
I’d like to see Heather Cox cover skiing for NBC Sports especially during the 2014 Winter Olympics.
January 16th, 2012 at 1:44 pm
Why is she even on this site
January 22nd, 2012 at 10:57 am
I’m sure that Heather Cox has learned that Joe Paterno has lost his cancer battle at age 85.
February 3rd, 2012 at 9:06 pm
…no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…
