They have always had experts (I use the term expert loosely). An expert being a former coach or player as hosts. I would imagine it is an effort to increase rating, but I think it's annoying.

I think she does ok talking about injuries or interviewing a coach at halftime, but everything else seems like BLAH BLAH BLAH. I don't recall what team it was a few back, but she was literally breaking down a play....what?

Thoughts?

How is her role any different than Chris Fowler's? Neither played football in college, both have a Journalism degree, and Fowler has given game analysis. I don't see the difference? :dunno

Fowler doesn't sound like my 15 year old niece talking about the guy she has a crush on in algebra class. Fowler sounds like he's talking about football. Erin Andrews reminds me of Jillian from Family Guy when she talks. It kinda reminds me of nails on a chalkboard, but I like nails on a chalkboard a hell of a lot better.

I'm not a fan. My wife even asked why she is on there, besides how she looks. I would like someone like a Mike Ditka, or someone whose opinions and true knowledge of the game I can respect. I feel the exact same way about Mark May, who just doesn't often make a lot of sense.

Is it wrong that I now want Jillian on gameday?

I don't usually watch gameday, but I also cannot imagine why anyone would try to look for any "expert" opinions on anything ESPN when you can get more than enough from Nexus here on HB.

I haven't watched Gameday in years. I quit watching "The Leader" for anything other than games once they stopped showing highlights, and started trotting out "experts" like Mike Golic or whoever...to prattle on and on and on and on....

So, yeah, she annoys the bejesus out of me. No more than anyone else on that network, though. All that forced attitude and b*tchiness got old even before Keith Olbermann left, over a decade ago.

 
She can't possibly make less sense than Mark May or Lee Corso. I haven't seen her new role, but...well ..she looks good doing whatever it is she's doing, which is all that really matters these days, apparantly.

 
I would have to agree. Erin Andrews whether it's in her Gameday role or doing the occasional sideline report in the middle of the game is pretty annoying to listen to. She should stick with Dancing With the Stars and the like.
