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

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.

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.

Hope is the struggle of the soul, breaking loose from what is perishable, and attesting her eternity.

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

The tender heart, the broken and contrite spirit, are to me far above all the joys that I could ever hope for in this vale of tears.

The most important training, though, is to experience life as a writer, questioning everything, inventing multiple explanations for everything. If you do that, all the other things will come; if you don't, there's no hope for you.

I hope that people will finally come to realize that there is only one 'race' - the human race - and that we are all members of it.

The only hope is that our civilization will collapse at a certain point, as always happens in history. Then, out of barbarity, a renaissance.

Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.

Hope is generally a wrong guide, though it is very good company by the way.

I don't sit in the corner waiting for death: death has to pursue me. I'm going strong. I hope to reach 100 and ask for an extension, just like my grandmother did.

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'd hope to reach any kid who feels apart from the group - those who seem to be outsiders, who feel different. Kids who want to reach their parents often don't know how to do so.

If we can just take a few companies, and use those as models, as examples, to show the rest of corporate America how they can become more competitive, that's what I'd like to do and that's what I hope to do.

It's part of the calling to at least do a few songs in the show that give people some hope. There's so much hurt in this world and... music is such a great healing balm and a great way to forget your troubles.

Just as a mother finds pleasure in taking her little child on her lap, there to feed and caress him, in like manner our loving God shows His fondness for His beloved souls who have given themselves entirely to Him and have placed all their hope in His goodness.

Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement.

Testimony is an integral part of the Black religious tradition. It is the occasion where the believer stands before the community of faith in order to give account of the hope that is in him or her.
