Erin Andrews Gets a Facial.

If you've never heard of Erin Andrews, listen the fuck up.

Normally I despise female reporters on the sidelines at sporting events. I mute my TV. I turn the channel. Sometimes I even heckle them from my couch and secretly pray that they suffer a traumatizing injury. I know it's sexist. I know it's ignorant and I know that some of them do a spectacular job. Blah blah blah. Blah blah blah.

Erin Andrews is, however, an exception.

She can often be seen reporting college football, Big Ten Basketball, and Major League Baseball for ESPN. It doesn't hurt that she was also voted "America's Sexiest Sportscaster" by Playboy Magazine. For good reason.

On Friday, July 10th Erin Andrews was struck on the chin by a foul ball. In the fourth inning of the Mets game, Alex Cora turned on an inside fastball and sent a line drive into foul territory. Andrews was sent to the hospital and should be back on the field in a few days.

Two things can be learned from this story.

1. Everybody should rain boos down upon Alex Cora next time he takes the field. How dare he try to injure the hottest woman ever to grace the sidelines for our benefit.

2. Erin Andrews can take balls to the face. Enough Said.
