I like Rachel Nichols. She is pretty good at what she does, plus she looks like a dirty whore.

*most annoying voice ever, like a kindergarten teacher reading a book to her class* "I talked to Vince Wilfork today, and he said, 'Oh yes you can bank on it. We are going to bring it to them.' "

head bob move
Do you remember what she was like when she first joined ESPN? She was like a robot; she wouldn't smile or even blink. Someone must've told her to loosen up and the head bob was a result of overcompensation.

I'm sure she was the best available person too, just like Erin Andrews for fox. Jesus I'd hate to be a white male trying to break into on-air sports talent. If you're not a woman, minority, or ex-athlete you're behind three eight balls

I'm going to miss her classic lines of "and then (insert athlete) told me, hey, we just have to play hard."
especially during the NBA finals
"And then LeBron just told me, hey, we need to play hard as a team and win this title."
