Erin Andrews Wants to Be on 'Dancing With the Stars'

She's the sports world's sports girl, and she may be coming at you from a completely different perspective if Erin Andrews can somehow get her way. Andrews, the darling sideline reporter for ESPN, admitted that she is interesting in appearing on "Dancing With the Stars."

I think we all can agree she's cuter than Kenny Mayne.

Dan Steinberg over at The Sporting Blog caught with Andrews and got some great stuff from the 31-year-old, including her admission to wanting a seat on DWTS in the future.
"I want to do it, because I think I'd be good at it," Andrews said yesterday, over a lunch of a hamburger and chicken noodle soup in downtown D.C. (I had iced tea. Too many freebie cookies from the Scripps National Spelling Bee.)

"I want to do it very badly," she continued. "That's the big push."
Andrews, who has always been a fan favorite because of her good looks and normalcy in such a spotlight (she had a hamburger at lunch, for goodness sakes) might have trouble landing a spot because of her dancing background as a Dazzler at the University of Florida, but she admitted to never taking ballroom dancing and thinks she'd be a better fit than previously mentioned Mayne.
"And I think I need to represent," Andrews told me. "I love Kenny Mayne very much, he's a friend of mine, but I need to help ESPN's name on Dancing With the Stars. He did nothing for us on that show."
Tom Bergeron, host of the show, admitted he thinks she'd have a "30 percent chance" to make the cast, but the number has to be higher than that. What sports fan wouldn't tune in to see Andrews flung around a dance floor like we've never seen before?

Maybe after her routine, she could sit back and chomp on another hamburger. Erin Andrews -- making mediocre men wish they'd taken up dance one day at a time.

WHAT IS
BACK PORCH?

The easy answer:
Back Porch exists because FanHouse doesn't have a basement for its bloggers. The bigger picture? BP covers sports news that's funny, off-beat and controversial. In short, it's the other side of sports, covered with an edge. Enjoy.
