No, one of the great things about my three-year deal is that it's year-round. They've offered me an opportunity to cover a lot of things in the offseason, too.

I know I'll be under a spotlight, I know I'll be under the microscope.

There's that initial reticence for some athletes to take you seriously.

In terms of broadcasting, you have to make decisions about where you want to spend your time.

We're starting to push the envelope in terms of the expectations, and you can also have your own style, personality and sense of humor, because now we're allowed to.

I was so afraid that the athletes wouldn't talk to me because I'm a woman.

I grew up watching Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell and the other guys with my dad.

No, one of the great things about my three-year deal is that it's year-round. They've offered me an opportunity to cover a lot of things in the offseason, too.

My approach is a very human one, as a fan.

Constantly there's a credibility issue; you're judged on how you look. If you look good, people assume you aren't credible. It's a battle you'll always fight if you're on TV and a female.

I've always been the only girl in those environments. It's comfortable for me - I prefer it, actually.

On my morning run, I listen to sports talk radio.

When I found out I got this job, I cried, of course - I'm a girly-girl - and then I called my dad, and he cried, too. On so many levels, this is a thrill for me.

I'm looking forward to talking to Bill Parcells, too, and to seeing how that marriage with Jerry Jones goes.

You just have to hope that they'll grant you an interview.

I've always been around dudes and sports.

So I plan to prepare thoroughly and have several outfits waiting in the wings in case of inclement weather.

I'm proud of what I look like. I'm proud that I look like my mom.

And that Michael Irvin would care more about his wardrobe than I would?

I want to know about what makes an athlete tick.

I'm proud of being Hispanic.

In the morning, I reach for the sports page.

Being attractive and being credible can and do go together.

My mom died when I was 8.

So my dad raised me, and he's a huge football fan.

I'm not going to relate to an athlete as a peer.

You mean the fact that Tom Arnold would spend more time with the hair and makeup people than I would?

And I'm proud of what I do as a professional, too.

I'm comfortable with my femininity, and I don't try to change what I look like just because I'm reporting on football at the end of the night.

When I'm anchoring, I miss chasing stories in the field.

I love color and I love to dress like a woman.

Constantly theres a credibility issue youre judged on how you look. If you look good people assume you arent credible. Its a battle youll always fight if youre on TV and a female.

Green-tech could be the largest economic opportunity of the 21st Century.

What the war did was give me the opportunity of three years of continuous reading, and it was in the course of reading that I became convinced that I should become an economist.

I'll tell you what I did need to learn was tolerance, and I think I've been actually given a daily opportunity to practice that, and it's - it's - and I know that that sounds almost like a backhanded slap, and it is in a way because I haven't been successful at it every day.

Let's take a timeout. Let's allow investors the opportunity in a period of market calm to re-examine what's happened and to deploy new strategies into the marketplace.

We have a responsibility to ensure that every individual has the opportunity to receive a high-quality education, from prekindergarten to elementary and secondary, to special education, to technical and higher education and beyond.

When I talk to people in need, they tell me they want to hope; they are eager for opportunity; they are ready for better days. And I can tell you that every time their hopes are disappointed, all nations lose.

I was grateful for the opportunity to make a difference. The political violence really started in 1970-1971. The political difficulties start a little bit beyond that.

The men and women of our armed forces played an instrumental role in the election process - securing polling sites and providing security - that allowed so many Iraqis the opportunity to vote freely for the first time ever.

The opportunity to create a small world between two pieces of cardboard, where time exists yet stands still, where people talk and I tell them what to say, is exciting and rewarding.

Success is where preparation and opportunity meet.

Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.

I just have my own taste, and I just try and stick with that. I'm just trying to play as many characters as I can for as long as I have an opportunity to.

Education is our greatest opportunity to give an irrevocable gift to the next generation.

When I decided to get married at 40, I couldn't find a dress with the modernity or sophistication I wanted. That's when I saw the opportunity for a wedding gown business.

The promise of equal educational opportunity envisioned by the Brown decision remains unfulfilled.

If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade.

But it's been a great, humbling - and I've been very honored to have the opportunity to serve and to lead and to be the representative of our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who are in Washington. And it's been the greatest honor of my life.
