Hailing from Lewiston, Maine, Erin Andrews is no stranger to most sports fans out there. Then again, she isn’t much of a stranger to tabloid TV and prime time television either. With gigs at ABC and Fox as a sideline sports reporter, and her hosting Dancing With The Stars; not to mention her many times being featured on TV shows like TMZ, is it any wonder that her face and name are indeed getting a lot of exposure?

As she grew up, her young life would mirror her future, as she was involved in many different things. She studied dance and telecommunications, leading her ultimately to graduate from the University of Florida with a BA in Telecommunications. A woman of many interests and deeply intelligent, beautiful and classy, it isn’t a shock that she’s found an audience and a fan base to boot. Her first TV job came in 2000 when she was hired by Fox Sports and the rest is pretty much history, as opportunities arose quite quickly for the journalist, and her career blossomed beautifully.

However, like most who grace the covers of magazines and sit amongst the biggest of TV stars, she’s no stranger to bad press and bad publicity, as you’ll soon read on, but she faced all her troubles head on and with a supreme sense of grace, even if she didn’t always look good doing it. Here are 10 pictures of her looking absolutely awesome, and 10 when she didn’t look all that great. Hey, it can happen to us all!

20 Looking Great: Numero Uno

It isn’t a stretch of the imagination as to why she was voted the most attractive sportscaster by "Heff's" magazine in 2007 and 2008. The magazine is famous not only for the gorgeous models that adorn their monthly covers, but also for its articles and selection of short stories by authors, as well as a slew of excellent jokes. Or at least that's what I've heard anyway!

And what's more, it is full of awesome lists like the one previously mentioned, and yes as stated, our favourite sportscaster and yours, Erin Andrews definitely made the cut at number one, twice! That is a feat that few sportscasters will likely ever achieve, so it speaks to how absolutely beautiful she really is.

19 Difficult Day: Breach Of Privacy

She doesn’t only make headlines for her beauty, however. Like most celebrities, she’s had to learn to take the good with the bad. Unfortunately, she did see her fair share of the bad. In 2009, a video that had been recorded without her knowledge was posted online, and in it, she appears totally uncovered. She wasn’t aware she was being filmed and the perpetrator shot the footage through holes he had drilled at a hotel where Erin was staying at the time at some point in 2008.

Andrews subsequently sued the hotel where she had been staying and for a pretty hefty sum of money. The period of time in which she was in court was traumatic and hard on her as can be seen in the multitude of photos of her seen leaving and attending court, as is very understandable.

18 Looking Great: No Girlfriends For Erin

She seems to be the most feminine kind of woman, especially in the mass amount of stills you can find online, but don’t let that beautiful face fool you. She’s a tomboy through and through, as so she claims. There are those that don’t gel well with members of their own gender… it’s perfectly normal, and Erin claimed that this was the case for her for most of her life.

In school, she spent time and hung out only with guys and all they’d talk about were sports, more sports and did we mention sports. It’s no doubt to anyone that she ended up going into a profession that at one time was considered a man’s world. Many believe she not only does her job well, but actually does it better than most men and veterans in sports journalism.

17 Difficult Day: Not a Great Shot!

We know what you’re all thinking… she doesn’t look bad at all. And if it is definitely what you’re thinking, we agree. Still, we can’t say she looks great here, now can we? We sure don’t mean to nitpick, but while we’re on the subject of how hot Erin Andrews can look, we can all agree that she doesn’t look her best here.

These lists can definitely lead to interesting discussions and comments left by readers have often been quite engaging, but if we’re compiling a list of great shots of the TV star and bad ones, we feel it’s safe to assume that this is definitely a bad shot. It can happen to anybody. You’ve cleaned up as best as you can, ready to take on the world, but then you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and deduce, man, I look like crap today. So, Erin … we’ve all been there.

16 Looking Great: Have Mercy

How can we measure absolute beauty? At which point in time does a woman become a bombshell, no matter how many times she was caught not looking her best? At which point can she attain the status of bombshells past, long gone and forgotten… very much like Marilyn Monroe, Jane Mansfield and Carmen Electra?

The answer is simple: when she can look like Erin in that black dress in this photo. Andrews looks elegant, classy and has us smiling forlornly as we gaze upon her beauty here, and what more, is the ease at which she sits. The photographer directed her well, because her pose is perfect and she gives off an attitude that’s inviting and stand-offish all in the same moment.

15 Difficult Day: Fighting For What Is Right

The shot’s a definite bad one, there’s no denying it, but we can’t help but still respect her despite it. She’s been through it, as you’ve read and will continue to read here, but doesn’t the fact that she’s survived and stood up in the face of adversity make us love and respect her all the more?

A woman can indeed be beautiful and elegant, but if we’re honest, doesn’t her strength and how she handles herself in tricky situations cause us to be in awe that much more? We’re sure it does, as it should. Despite all her troubles with The Marriott Hotel chain, she won out, being rewarded 55 Million Dollars for what she suffered at the hands of the videotaping stalker in their hotel.

14 Looking Great: Stunning

She could have most definitely gone into any other form or branch of television, and this is probably why she eventually got a gig on Dancing With The Stars, but let's be honest, she's a far cry from sportscasters of old. You know what we're talking about, those dudes in the cheap suits, with the beer guts sticking out over their belts, five o'clock shadow and a voice that belongs in a movie like The Lords of Flatbush.

She most certainly is a revelation and when she comes on screen, it's kind of hard to actually pay attention to what it is she's talking about exactly. Don't get us wrong, we do our absolute best to pay attention, after all, she is talking about sports and not Tupperware, so there's no problem there, but still, you've all got to admit, there is an obvious distraction. Where the heck was I going with this? Never mind!

13 Difficult Day: Please Don't Cry

What man can honestly say that a woman’s tears don’t affect him strongly? And if they don’t, what kind of monster is he? A woman in tears is the equivalent of a whimpering puppy, an adorable child in tears and that scene in Terminator 2 when Arnie gives the thumbs up in the molten metal. It just absolutely gets you every time, no matter how hard you try to stay tough.

Women may not always look their best when they’re in tears, hence the term: Ugly Crying, but man, they sure tug at the old heart strings. Such is the case in this photo. Our collective hearts go out to Erin, as she no doubt faced a terrible ordeal. But let’s be honest … when it comes to Erin, she could have been crying over a stubbed toe and we’d still collectively weep for her. Be honest!

12 Looking Great: Nothing Else To Be Said

Sometimes, here at The Sportster, we believe that a photograph can ultimately speak for itself. In this case, the photo speaks wonders, as Erin works a photo shoot. It not only speaks volumes for her evident beauty, but it tells of how popular and in demand the sports reporter has become, and probably not only to sports fans.

Talk about branch extension. She has moved on from the sidelines at the arena. She has endorsed numerous products and has appeared on numerous talk shows and has been on the covers of many, many magazines. It leaves us to wonder what's next for this very charismatic star? We can only wonder. It has been speculated over and over again, but there is no doubt that she could anchor or host her very own show, whether it has to do with sports or not.

11 Difficult Day: Awkward

Name one person who hasn't been caught in a not so flattering light at least once in their lives. That’s right, you can’t. And that’s for the simple fact that it happens to us all. There’s that one time that you were caught off guard and your buddies snapped a picture of you and posted it all over Facebook for the world and all of your friends to see. No doubt that made for a bad day or two, but imagine if you were on a larger scale, like say a celebrity … well then that many more people would be judging your bad photo. Just like poor Erin in this shot. We’ll bet she wanted to get her hands on that photog, the minute she saw this photo of herself in reporting action.

10 Looking Great: Dancing Star

She danced as part of the Gator Dazzlers Dance Team back when she attended college in Florida, and all that practice paid off when she joined the Dancing With The Stars cast as a dancer and competitor for the tenth season of the popular show. She placed third in that season and was it any wonder? In 2014 she was invited to join the show as co-host, which she graciously accepted.

Dancing has been a large part of her life and it showed when she was on the show competing for the top spot. It was also in 2014 that she took a job at Fox and became part of the NFL lead broadcasting crew. So once again, she was involved in sports and dance, mirroring her time in college.

9 Difficult Day: Spooked

We’ve all had those days when we run into something unexpected. However, we do not constantly have a camera pointed at out face to capture any funny faces we might make. We aren't sure what Erin was looking at, but her expression clearly indict=ates some kind of stress/fear. Hopefully it was nothing serious.

Although this picture is listed as when she didn’t look so hot, we have to admit that there is definitely something that endears us to her even more in such a pose. She’s a woman who is dedicated to her work and the fact that she is indeed so career-oriented leads her to be all the more beautiful… even if she’s a little bewildered.

8 Looking Great: Strong... Inside & Out

The definition of living a fit and healthy lifestyle, it’s no doubt that Erin believes in physical fitness. If it isn’t dance, it shows that she’s no stranger to staying fit and exercising. She’s appeared in Health Magazine and has elaborated on her fit and healthy lifestyle. Despite the fact that she’s extremely busy, she finds the time to exercise and eat right, no matter what’s on her agenda for the day.

Sadly and unfortunately, in 2017, it was announced that she was diagnosed with cervical cancer back in 2016. But she didn’t let the horrendous news bring her down. She stayed positive and underwent surgical procedures to rid herself of the terrible disease. We’re so happy to say that she was cancer free after undergoing that surgery.

7 Difficult Day: NHL Girl

Andrews is currently with Jarret Stoll, a former NHL hockey player who played for a variety of NHL teams including The Rangers and The Kings. The two live in New York, in an apartment and judging by photos of the two in public, they couldn’t seem happier. They were married in 2017.

Was it any wonder that the tomboy would end up with a sport’s star? Absolutely not. The sports obsessed newscaster and host is a sports fan first and we can see that her tastes in men got the better of her when she said ok to Stoll’s courting ways. It has been reported that after they signed the lease for the apartment they share, they celebrated with a milkshake. Also, in 2014, she participated in the tradition of drinking champagne from the Stanley Cup after Stoll and the LA Kings won it.

6 Looking Great: Green Is Most Definitely Her Colour

Everybody’s got their colour. We feel you’ll agree that green is most definitely, Erin’s. She looks absolutely gorgeous in this shot and once again the direction she received at the shoot was absolutely genius. Extremely elegant and classy she gives off the air of a film star of the golden era as opposed to the airs of a sportscaster and reporter.

If this photo was fished out of some time capsule years from now, the people of the future would assume that she was some actress acting alongside the era’s biggest stars, as she obviously fits the assumption. She’s breathtaking and calls us to pay attention as she strikes her pose, which is an attitude she brings to all the facets of her career.

5 Difficult Day: Net Worth

Usually people who go into journalism, whether on TV or in print, don’t see the amount of money that Erin Andrews currently enjoys. Her net worth is estimated at about 3 million … and no, it isn’t a large number for most celebrities, but when looking at her fellow sports journalists, the number is quite high indeed.

It isn’t any wonder as to why her income is as high as she’s branched out into so many other facets of media, bringing her to that many more TV sets and leading her to be in much more demand. Her salary at either show or telecast she works on must be higher than her peers. She works hard and it shouldn’t be opined that she received such a salary based on her good looks, as she is one of the industry’s hardest workers.

4 Looking Great: Runway Ready

As we’ve said, she’s graced the cover of and has been written about in many magazines. This article must mark the thousandth or so time that she’s been featured in the press. We’ve gone on and on about her strengths and intelligence, but if we may, let’s concentrate solely on the obvious reason that draws us to her and that’s her beauty.

Let’s face it, she is most definitely a knock-out and she could probably sell even more magazines based on her beauty alone. Her features are perfectly placed on her striking face and her body… well, is absolutely stellar, with all due respect. So overall, she’s got the look that can break a lot of hearts and cause a lot of dudes to secretly watch Dancing With The Stars.

3 Difficult Day: Stay Strong

There’s always that one moment when you can’t watch your own expression no matter how much you care about the face you show to the world. Celebrities are often composed and collected, needing to watch their emotions and their reactions to absolutely anything that comes up in their lives. In a life when the paparazzi are always lurking around the next corner, celebs need to be on their best behaviour.

But as you all know, celebrities have been caught in awkward situations and have been pictured making the worst and sometimes funniest expressions. Whether they’ve been caught coming out of night clubs drunk, or in a deep state of anger, plenty of pictures have surfaced in the press of quite a few celebs putting their worst face forward. In the above photo, her expression is priceless and hardly alluring as she masks none of her emotions in this candid moment.

2 Looking Great: Sports fan

Yes, there’s nothing better than a ravishing beauty walking to the slow beat of the drum, wearing an awesome outfit, her hair is blowing around her face and her eyes are locked on yours causing you to be completely immobilized… unable to move or speak a single word.

But seeing Erin in this particular picture makes us marvel at the wonder of the other side of beauty… the sporty side. There’s something so amazing about a girl that can play harder and faster than you; girls that can whoop your butt at the sport you’ve been practicing all your life. And lest we forget the absolute drop dead gorgeous image of Erin with a hand in the baseball glove and wearing high heels.

1 Difficult Day: A Reporter Through And Through

So, dear readers, beauty aside, what else can we say about this awesome TV personality? Well, we can tell the truth, and say that Erin Andrews is actually an excellent journalist and her talent as such would be enough for her to achieve most of what she has already earned on her talent and hard work alone, and that is saying something.

Her father, Steven Andrews, was a famous journalist and his career garnered him a lot of accolades and even six Emmys for his work as an investigative journalist. In Erin, the apple doesn’t fall very far from the tree and she shares her father’s good journalistic qualities and there is no doubt that she has her own accolades awaiting her in her bright and not so distant future.
