Erin Andrews is not hot...discuss

Submitted by wolverine1987 on

I honestly cannot understand the Erin Andrews gushing that I hear.  The more I see her, the more I notice that her nose is kind of crooked, and her face is just ok.  She one of those girls that look great at first glance or from across the room, but not so much up close.  Is it just me?  And to be clear, I'm not a Seinfeld "she eats one pea at a time" finicky girl watcher.  Submitted as much better looking: Melissa Stark for one

Erin Andrews is hot in the exact same way that the 3 youngest, thinnest teachers are at every high school (I've heard this can be amplified in all-boys schools).  The point is that people invariably rate good looks in context.  Imagine running into that hott! teacher at the bar instead.  Would you be so enthralled?  Maybe you would, but being a hot teacher is waaay different than being a hot girl/woman/sexual object.  Same is true with sports reporters and even female athletes.  Sports reporters compete with the Tony Kornheiser's of the world while atheletes compete with the East German circa-1980's womens swim team.  

So maybe Erin Andrews is hot.   Just ask yourself:  would SpartanNation's brah!, Jason, hit that if it showed up at Ricks.

I went to an all-boys catholic high school.  I could never understand the attraction for this one teacher at our school.  She was OK..but, seriously, the girl school next door had hundereds of girls more attractive..I guess it was just the older thing and the fact that you were packed in a classroom with dudes all day.  Anyway, if you saw this teacher in a bar you would NOT look twice.

Baleedat, when you ask the question "You know who I would plow," I would surmise the real answer to be a bit different that what was stated. In fact, I would believe the real answer to be "anything that moves."

So, you've got at least one thing in common with late 1980's Magic Johnson.

Sure, she's way overrated, but don't tell me you wouldn't hit it.  She's decent, but probably so fawned over in comparison to who she is around, as in, dudes and other chicks who are generally hit.

For all of those who say they wouldn't get with Erin Andrews, you have earned this:

And please, give me a fucking break.  While she might not be the hottest woman I've ever seen, she's got a killer body, she' really into sports, she's intelligent (which makes her that much hotter) and  she could support me in the way I'd like to become accustomed. Anyone who says they wouldn't is a lying liar who lies a lot.

  As for Coach Gibson's wife- I have outrageous standards but jebus- that woman is hot as all crazy hell. Go Tony.

And god damn it!  Why won't my friggin' html work?!!!

 

Ps- kgh, why don't you visit us on haloscan anymore?

Ninja - Uh, haloscan still exists?

Back on topic, Erin Andrews is good at her job (which, clearly is hard for most in her field b/c they all suck) and looks good while doing it. Let's just say I wouldn't mind having that rack and hair. Kudos to her. Overrated and not-hot are not mutually exclusive people...there can be middle ground here.

OOOH yeah, I know now, sometimes acronyms can be difficult. And no it's not gay, it's actually intelligent and funny at the same time! Srsly though, I used to read until I saw some stuff written in Russian and got scared. Didn't you guys used to have it on Blogger? Cuz that comment system sucked/sucks and I never wanted to comment b/c of it.

Ninja, you know the answer to that question.

And KGH, Russian is not neccessary to understand it. For the most part.

Haha I was kidding about being scared about the Russian, as it's the Slavic language of choice I want to learn before I die. I actually got kinda busy and decided I'd only spend time on this blog and only this one or else I'd get even more sidetracked. But it is very well written, I enjoy it.

I've always thought that before you're allowed to critique the physical appearance of another person on the internet, you have to post a picture of yourself, and score 75% "Hot" in "Hot or Not".
