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

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

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.

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

My mom died when I was 8.

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

In the morning, I reach for the sports page.

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

I've always been around dudes and sports.
