As you’ve heard and read, GateHouse News Service columnist Mike Nadel wrote up a critique of Erin Andrews ‘professionalism’ during this past week’s Cubs/Brewers contest, of which, both of them were covering. Nadel gave his critique of his own critique with Deadspin (see: Roundup), and now Andrews has responded:

“I think my overall reaction is that it’s really sad that in 2008 … I have people watching every single move I make,” Andrews said. “When there’s a big game between the Cubs and Brewers going on, it’s sad that that’s what their focus is on. … And the last thing I had heard is that when you want to do a story on someone, you contact them.€

“These players are not into me like that,” Andrews said. “If anything, I think these guys look at me like a little sister or one of the guys. … I don’t look at myself as a sex object. I’ve never carried myself in that way. I’m a girl that loves sports. I’m a tomboy. That’s the last thing on my mind when I’m in the clubhouse — worrying about players checking me out.€

All specualtion on my part since I’m not on the road with Andrews, but I’m not too sure every player isn’t “into her” as she describes. It’s the Law of Nature: men are biologically engineered to internally froth at physical beauty.

Whether that comes to the surface is what separates the men from the pervs.
