Two years ago, writing about Erin Andrews was fun; she didn’t seem to take herself seriously and the self-deprecating shtick was refreshing. Last year, when the internet fell in lust with her, blog posts about her became less interesting. And now, well …

I think I’ve always had a running joke with Tyler where I always have to tell him, ‘You have to stop getting nervous when you’re around me.’ But I don’t think it’s just me. I feel like he’s just so serious all the time. … Before we go on the air for an interview, I’ll elbow him pretty hard and I’ll smile and try to give him that wide grin to try and loosen him up. ‘C’mon now smile.’ … I saw Tyler at the ESPYs this year and I stopped to talk to him for a couple minutes and I was giving him a hard time about it. I just said, ‘OK, so this year, if you come back, are you going to be more talkative, more friendly to me?’ And he just stared at me and was like, ‘What are you talking about?’ I love kidding him about how he gets nervous.

Maybe he’s not smiling because … he never smiles in interviews? Or the questions suck? Or he’s heard the Bobby Frasor rumors and didn’t want his teammate thinking he was horning in?
