Women need to make sure they know what they're talking about. You can't just plant yourself in front of a camera and be pretty because that's just not good enough. It's just not a respectable way about building one's career - in sports or anywhere on TV.

I've been chubby, I've been skinny, I've been considered ugly, I've been considered cute... It runs the gamut and all of those things are very humbling.

Very UN Ugly

I don't go to events to have my picture taken. I don't really care if my name is mentioned on a blog. It's not my thing.

My favorite part of being a sportscaster is the access afforded us to some of the greatest moments in sports. Mine came when I was on the sidelines at the Rose Bowl when Vince Young carried the Longhorns to a fantastic win over Colin's USC Trojans.

Returning to 'SportsNation' is my destiny.

Sports Turning Turn

I love what I am doing on 'SportsNation' and to now have the opportunity to do even more on 'Winners Bracket' as part of ESPN Sports Saturday on ABC is the perfect situation.

I've lost the ability to be surprised.

It's an L.A. thing. This is not a town where all the dudes love sports necessarily. I don't need you to love sports 24-7, but I kind of need you to know a little bit and it's a weird place for that.

But I've never been the type to be sloppy drunk in public.

It's Charles Barkley. He's a personality. I don't count him as a journalist.

Look, sports are sports. The scores are the scores and the stories are the stories.

Eventually your boobs grow and you can't run anymore, and that was a really rude awakening.

Your You Wake

I know how to do the other stuff - the 'Access' stuff and go be goofy and all that. That I can do. For me to sit on a desk, when I know on the other network is Bob Costas and Dan Patrick is a change.

Michelle Beadle

Work Change Two

The only thing better than working for Connor Schell and Kevin Wildes is being able to spend each day with all of the incredibly talented people at 'NBA Countdown' and 'SportsNation.' It's the best job in sports.

I have a ton of great girlfriends in this business.

Great Business Us

I am thrilled to join the NBCUniversal family and to have the opportunity to work alongside many of the most talented and accomplished individuals in the business.

We're not all Kim Kardashian. We can't have $15,000 from head to toe every single day.

I've been reading everything from serious articles about track to Ryan Lochte's single life.

I love Paul Heyman, I think he's the most talented speaker.

Michelle Beadle

Love Think Thin

My big thing is I like to be in a spot where I can have an opinion every single day, and I'm hoping to keep that going because, you know, it's not normal yet for women in this business to have an opinion, and I was very grateful that I got to do that.

I think being somewhat of a workaholic - and it's not healthy by any stretch - but I think you place your self-worth on your career, and as far as I was concerned, my career was crap.

I never saw how going back to a job I loved at the No. 1 sports network in the world could be seen as a step backwards. There are people on Twitter that think it is.

Chicago is a good town.

I'm a pretty competitive person.

My face turns bright red when I run and will stay that way until the next day.

I get annoyed when Bieber breathes.

I love dogs more than most people I've met.

Career wise, I think the dream for many of us is some kind of late night type of show. Something where you're allowed to be funny and you get to write, you have guests and you get to do silly skits. That is my ultimate, bucket list career moment.

Michelle Beadle

I'm not a reporter, so I get to say whatever - and then I'll get called into the office.

Michelle Beadle

Media doesn't like when other media gets their credentials pulled - that's not OK.

Boxing is like the Wild West. There are no rules. It's horrible.

I thought I was going to go into politics, but that became disheartening. You see that a lot of stuff doesn't get done, people walk around all self-important, and it's just depressing.

Michelle Beadle

I live a much more interesting life in other people's minds.

Michelle Beadle

Moving back to New York is perhaps what I'm most excited about. Alternate side of the road parking. Flip flops on the subway. And any food I want, delivered. Sometimes more than once a day.

Michelle Beadle

I'm going to miss the wind tunnel between Buildings 3 and 4. The ways in which the parking situation forced me to get 'creative.' Bob Ley and his snide comments. Trey Wingo and his snarky comments. Meeting so many people who I respect the hell out of. And the bizarre if not dysfunctional 'SportsNation' family.

Michelle Beadle

Gift cards are kind of like for college kids and sometimes kids because I think kids love the idea of going to buy their own stuff.

If you're not going to love the Spurs, just don't talk smack to me about it. And if you're going to talk smack to me about it, be funny.

Ever since I started all of this TV weirdness, I just tried to make each year better than before professionally.

There's just something about fresh tortillas.

I can't pretend that I haven't been a Spurs fan for 30 years.

Michelle Beadle

I'm not good at fake.

Love me some basketball.

Michelle Beadle

My favorite sport to watch is basketball. To play? golf, but I wish I was much better.

Michelle Beadle

It's just much easier to wake up and be you and go to bed and do it over again.

I really should learn to be more of a girl.

If some idiot with lip gloss is telling me how awesome Lindsay Lohan is, I'm like, 'No, Lindsay is not awesome.'

Michelle Beadle

When I talk about the Spurs in different states, people don't get it. But it's a cool team to root for. I've been a fan since I was young.

Michelle Beadle

I believe that the sport of football has set itself up to be in a position where it shows itself in the bigger picture to not really care about women - they don't really care about people of color, but we won't get into that for NFL either - but as a woman I feel like a person who has been marginalized.

Michelle Beadle

But I'm always, always, always excited about new things.

Michelle Beadle

I like certain things, I don't like others, and I like what NBC has to offer. I can do sports and I can do entertainment, and whatever they offer I'm going to try at least once to figure out what I love and what I don't.
