ESPN's solution:

Replace Erin Andrews on baseball telecasts with Stephen A. Smith.

That sounds like something the WWL would do, does it not?

The only negative I see regarding Erin is that they don't show her on camera ENOUGH!

Call this a story when EA starts dressing like a Hooters girl and doing the hoola-hoop. Until then, this is a non-story.

Oh, and sports writers have too little to write about.

What's the deal with you guys at AA. Does every woman on television in sports need to dress like Doris Burke for you to be able to respect their work, and not "be distracted". Can you not see an attractive female reporter whose well dressed and not think about her as anything but a sexual being. Maybe it's a you problem.

AA, would you prefer it if Erin dressed in a lovely, Rue McLanahan-esque pant-suit???

There's nothing wrong with the above outfit. That yellow dress that I posted yesterday is insane. She looks like a cartoon character.

It's obviously not the end of the world, but it's just too much for a professional atmosphere.

that yellow thing was a dress? i thought someone had pulled the cord on an inflatable raft.
it was totally inappropriate, even if it was for batting practice

"Enough Erin Andrews."

ESPN, knowing that it has a commodity in Andrews that attracts a certain type of viewer, has been pushing her hard the last few months. I can't fault them or Andrews for this, as it's a business and they have to strike while the iron is hot. A backlash was inevitiable.

Eventually there will be someone else who the blogosphere deems "hottest" and Erin will join Jenn Sterger, Alliison Stokke and the rest.

"That yellow dress that I posted yesterday is insane."

AA, Wasn't that the dress that got Rick Sutcliffe all 'hot and bothered'?

Exactly....definitely not a distraction.

I'm with Anon 11:13 on this one. It was a hot and muggy summer night in Milwaukee...what was she supposed to wear?

Okay, first I think the roof was closed that night, but even when it isn't only the playing field is exposed from above. Everything else is pretty much shaded including foul territory.

Those cans have got to be fake.

They look bigger than Pam Ward's huge fake knockers.

Duly noted, AA. However, as a Milwaukee native I can attest how insufferable it gets during the summer.

I just don't think her attire that night was inappropriate. She looked phenomenal at the ESPYS last month and ESPN is obviously riding her popularity wave. It's not going to last forever though and someone else will invariably seize EA's throne in the near future.

I predict we will hear from La Ombudswoman on this matter sometime this month...

The guy wanted to make a name for himself by writing that article. Mission accomplished. She wore a dress above the knee, big woop.

"Erin will join Jenn Sterger, Alliison Stokke and the rest."

I'd buy that for a dollar

The "girls", at least this one, anyway, are busy carving up Deadspin commenters.

Norby Williamson basically said that they don't care if Erin Andrews wears revealing clothing and flirts with athletes on and off the field. I salute Mike Nadel for taking Erin Andrews to task. The fact that Andrews hasn't responded to Nadel's comments tells me she agrees with what Nadel said.

Hey AA, this isn't Iran or some shit, women should be able to wear whatever they want without being harassed for "showing too much". Fuck. Right. Off.

Oh isn't great the power women have over men? I think that it is funny that players are getting "distracted" by Erin, sounds like it is their problem not Erin's.

"The fact that Andrews hasn't responded to Nadel's comments tells me she agrees with what Nadel said."

/fail

Just because a woman is attractive doesnt mean she has to dress in a potato sack to gain credibility. Looks get your foot in the door but its pure talent that keeps you getting the big assignments. Keep it up EA. Personally, you are a huge idol of mine.
