Michelle Beadle Took a Couple More Thinly-Veiled Shots at Erin Andrews


I’m going to miss this kerfuffle, really, I am. As you know, Michelle Beadle is headed to NBC Sports (we detailed the move here), and with the big announcement comes a nice little press tour. Naturally, she’s being asked about her soon-to-be former colleague, Erin Andrews. Beadle is too savvy to come out and rip Andrews, so she gets in her digs like this, to Chad Finn of the Globe:
“I’m not out there. 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. I’m not going to hire a publicist or anything like that, it’s just not what I’m interested in.”
So does this mean Andrews won’t be dropping by the SportsNation set next week when Beadle bids the network bon voyage? Also, still no word on the Erin Andrews contract extension. But it’ll get done. By all accounts, she’s not going anywhere.

She’s come to terms that she isn’t as hot or desirable as Andrews. Good for her.
May 25th, 2012 at 11:15 AM
She’s going for “attainable hot”.
May 25th, 2012 at 11:16 AM
So one more week and we never have to hear about her again, right?

or she’s too stupid to realize the golden opportunity to rip Andrews is being presented to her.
May 25th, 2012 at 11:18 AM
She’s going for “attainable hot”.
Works for me. She doesn’t seem dumb or dizty like Andrews. I could actually see myself enjoying conversation over dinner and wine with Beadle while Fetch is staring through the window with knife waiting to carve me up.

You can have Beadle. More Andrews for me.
May 25th, 2012 at 11:19 AM
Or she doesn’t have any beef with Andrews at all and is saying she personally doesn’t care about the limelight?
May 25th, 2012 at 11:20 AM
nice caption on the EA/Marissa Miller pic JMac
May 25th, 2012 at 11:21 AM
Working from home today in front of the TV. Runaway Jury is a terrible, terrible movie. Not sure if it’s on par with how horrible A Time To Kill is, but it’s in the running. Were the books this bad?
May 25th, 2012 at 11:21 AM
Im okay with this turning into a Marissa Miller thread.
May 25th, 2012 at 11:22 AM
EA appears to have hotter friends, so there’s that.
May 25th, 2012 at 11:22 AM
You can have Beadle. More Andrews for me. MS
Double date? I’m going to need someone to watch my back because Fetch’s fascination with Beadle is scary.
May 25th, 2012 at 11:22 AM
Just seems like an honest response…not a shot at someone else (who you concluded was Andrews).
May 25th, 2012 at 11:23 AM

Sure. We have to square our stories for our wives though.

now that pam ward’s got some time on her hands…im sorry, i can’t continue this joke.

IPOD IN THE FLOORBOARDS!

J-Mac is too savvy to say he posted about this fake feud solely because it gives him an opportunity to display pictures of Beadle, throw Beadle/Andrews in the headline (SEO!), and link to 3 other posts that no one could possibly give a shit about.
May 25th, 2012 at 11:25 AM
i’m with babar, she was just saying what she’s not. like i say, ‘i don’t spend a half hour in front of the mirror, putting gel in my hair and using drakkar, but i’m just not like that.’
May 25th, 2012 at 11:25 AM

EA just seems like she would be immensely annoying. But then again, many women are, so she still wins.
May 25th, 2012 at 11:27 AM
Say what?
May 25th, 2012 at 11:28 AM
and ea doesn;t seem ditzy to me. she seems like ‘my kingdom for a very attractive woman who is vivacious and likes sports and seems if anything sort of serious, which is much hotter than a bim’
most of those traits are my wife, except that she hates sports
May 25th, 2012 at 11:29 AM
Beadle, EA, and Tim Tebow walk into a bar…something, something, something, TBL’s head explodes.
May 25th, 2012 at 11:29 AM
What does Jenn Brown think about this? Or, more importantly, Charissa Thompson?
May 25th, 2012 at 11:30 AM
All of this.
May 25th, 2012 at 11:31 AM
So this Lolo/Tebow virgin thing is officially a thing now. Super fucking duper.
May 25th, 2012 at 11:31 AM
Pretty sure that’s how they find out what Cusack is doing right near the end isn’t it? There’s something in his floorboards that has evidence that he’s gaming the jury.
May 25th, 2012 at 11:31 AM

May 25th, 2012 at 11:42 AM
Yeah, but she does look like a velociraptor in that picture.
May 25th, 2012 at 11:43 AM
Tebow is really good at the 2 minute drill

she can blind me with spit if she likes it that way
May 25th, 2012 at 11:47 AM
Guess I’ll find out in a second. Cusack just left the jury room, talked to the judge at what looks like Galatoire’s, and got the jury a fancy lunch. So realistic.
May 25th, 2012 at 11:49 AM
I don’t care if she looked like John Malkovich in that pic, I’d plow her like 10 tons of Alabama dirt.

Oh my bad Ritty I thought you had seen it before.
It’s such a horrible movie.
May 25th, 2012 at 11:50 AM

I know, right! Galatoire’s would be crawling with tourists. They won’t have room to seat an entire jury.
May 25th, 2012 at 11:53 AM
I think I’ve seen everything but the end. Wasn’t too worried about the outcome.
I actually love that place…. uh-oh, jury just did the pledge of allegiance.
May 25th, 2012 at 11:57 AM
I heard an interview with Blair Underwood (I think) on NPR the other day. He’s doing an adaptation of A Streetcar Named Desire where most of the characters are black. So they’ve had to change certain parts of the script, including the fact that they go to Galatoire’s, because it wasn’t integrated at the time the play takes place.
May 25th, 2012 at 11:57 AM
I actually really like Runaway Jury.
May 25th, 2012 at 11:57 AM
The scene with the breakthrough to the Latino juror kills me.

I remember when Erin went to Simmons podcast and was talking about how she got her start on sports. She talked about how she became a reporter covering Tampa Bay lightning and all the players treated her like their sister. Damn near fell out of my seat. Yeah Erin, those players were nice to you because they thought of you as their sister. That’s it.
May 25th, 2012 at 12:02 PM

Had to read Runaway Jury as a senior in high school. It was the longest book I’d read at the time and I was surprised to enjoy it. The movie was kinda “meh.” WTF was Piven doing there?!
May 25th, 2012 at 12:08 PM
and all the players treated her like their sister. Damn near fell out of my seat. Yeah Erin, those players were nice to you because they thought of you as their sister. That’s it.
she said that same shit when the nontroversy with her sun dress at wrigley field blew up

damn…first they split, then warp, never seen one explode. if my dick split then warped, i’d just say ‘enough! to my wife

May 25th, 2012 at 12:20 PM
I love horror. Jump scares are not horror.

May 25th, 2012 at 12:24 PM
I love horror. Jump scares are not horror.
i’m not prepared to seriously discuss. but i know that horror is mood and tension and not just gore and cheap thrills
the descent, blair witch, paranormal activity just off the top of recent ones i really like
May 25th, 2012 at 12:25 PM
but does horror include disturbing, creepy?
does scary describe jump scares, rather than horror?
May 25th, 2012 at 12:25 PM
That was ok. Grifters & Midnight Garden Good Evil are okay too. But there’s some dreck in there.
May 25th, 2012 at 12:28 PM
I remember reading some IMDB review of Identity where the writer referred to the schizophrenic inmate or whatever as “Fat Guy Head” the whole time. I thought that was hilarious. That movie was decent I guess , although the scene where the kid walks in front of the exploding car in slow-motion was just absurd.
May 25th, 2012 at 12:36 PM
gfunk, any room in that baseball pool you referred to earlier?
May 25th, 2012 at 12:37 PM
I posted this in the other thread.
It’s just set up by the guy who runs trivia at the bar I played at last night. If you want to send me $20 I can get you a spot but I don’t think he’s expecting too many players (15-20 probably).
May 25th, 2012 at 12:41 PM
vez, i’m leaving and going out of town this weekend so i don’t know when i’ll be around next, but it doesn’t start until june 6 so let me know next week if you’re interested
May 25th, 2012 at 12:44 PM
ok, thanks, maybe i will. how do i find your contact info?
May 25th, 2012 at 1:03 PM
Erin, when someone sits on their hand and then masturbates to your hotel tape, it’s The Stranger, not The Sister.
May 25th, 2012 at 1:11 PM
Runaway Jury is a terrible, terrible movie.
Only John Cusack could ruin a movie with Gene Hackman and Rachel Weisz in it.
May 25th, 2012 at 1:22 PM
Runaway Jury is a great, great movie.
I’m happy the Beadle is moving on to bigger and better things. Fuck Bristol.
Outside of the creep that invaded Erin’s privacy the thing I’ll remember most about her is her stint on TBS when they had the Braves exclusively. She was atrocious, couldn’t read the teleprompter, and couldn’t pronounce any non-American player names to save her life. It became comical after awhile.
May 25th, 2012 at 1:30 PM
I thought Beadle said she doesn’t have a publicist.
May 25th, 2012 at 2:29 PM
Erin has it all over Beadle in every respect. She is hotter, less annoying and not too good to get out, have good time and embrace her celebrity. Beadle looks out of place when she tries to “glam” up. Ends up looking frumpy.
May 25th, 2012 at 2:36 PM
I didnt know “every respect” only included physical looks and personality. As far as job performance, give me Beadle over EA.
/team no sideline reporters
May 25th, 2012 at 3:00 PM
They both need nose jobs. Erin’s is too pointy. She should change her last name to Anjews. Beadles is too fat. Babe Ruth might be her great grand daddy.
May 25th, 2012 at 5:22 PM
Andrews is the biggest shill on that network, and that’s saying something. She wants to be taken seriously but her public persona is closer to Miley Cyrus than it is to Michele Tafoya.
