I don't know what it's like to be Cuban-American, but I know what it's like to have family under Communism and to get up early in the morning and send medical supplies and try to send food and try to send money and have it intervened, and them calling and crying on the phone.

I'm half Italian, and on my mom's side, they've aged amazingly, and all they've put on their faces is olive oil.

I try to work hard, be professional, be fun to work with, and be accountable.

I'm not dating anyone until I get my career where I want it to be.

I listen to a lot of Pandora. I listen to the Hot 97 app.

If Kaepernick is trying to become a backup quarterback, and we're seeing guys like Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith being picked ahead him, then you can argue that he is being blackballed.

I grew up on a pretty Mediterranean diet, so that's what I try to stick to.

The credibility comes before you get on air. It comes with coming to the production meeting and having ideas and being prepared and being up on everything that's going on, being professional, and showing up every day and working hard. I think that's where you build the credibility and the respect.

My friends would always joke that I'm 'the grandmother' and 'the homebody' because I can't stay up past nine o'clock, but a lot of that rest is so important for me.

I grew up in Connecticut - it was really charming, but when I was younger, all I wanted was to get out.

Obviously, I'm a female in sports. You work really hard, you prep really hard, you put a lot into the show, so when you have certain comments, and people are saying, 'Oh you add nothing,' or, 'You got your job because of this.' Really? Why don't you look at my master's degree?

Acupuncture was a saving grace. It helps more than anything else I tried. Everyone with endometriosis should give acupuncture a shot, at least once.

Three to four times a week, I do boxing with a trainer. It's great because you get to punch things and let out stress.

Molly Qerim

It's tricky when you have people tuning in to hear about sports, not politics, but I think in issues where they intertwine, that is not something 'First Take' is not going to shy away from and potentially will go to another level than another sports show.

I'll go out to eat and have a really good lunch and try to shut the phone off, but I can't, really, because the social media stuff will start happening.

Molly Qerim

I'm always my toughest critic. I'm setting the expectations for myself, and that's enough pressure. I don't need to worry about the haters or the Twitter trolls or what everybody else thinks.

Molly Qerim

As soon as you are a woman with an opinion, and they don't like it, the haters will come out in full force.

Molly Qerim

So let me get this straight: Kaepernick sacrificed his career, dreams, and reputation fighting for social justice because he was shown he couldn't do both - be an activist and be in the league. But in the end, the players coalition allegedly agrees to a deal with a price tag, and Colin's left out of it. Tell me that doesn't feel a little dirty.

Molly Qerim

New Haven is really cool.

I am really irked by healthy NBA players resting. I really don't understand it. Players in the past have played all season for years. I just don't love it. I feel like it hurts the integrity and competitiveness of the game. It's got nothing to do with the TV partners; it's about cheating the fans.

Molly Qerim

If you don't have haters, you're doing something wrong.
