Seriously, I like and dislike some of the ESPN crew like evrey one else but this Lady gets on my nerves. I can watch all the other female reporters with out it feeling soo painful. She sounds like she is reporting to 5 year olds, reporting to people that have no clue with a smile on her face like she is uncovering the best news in the world.

I think she watched too much of Ron Jaworski. The way he pauses mid-sentence during his play reviews or break downs. But Nichols fails miserably at this.

Desertdawg impression of Nichols little clips:

Nichols: "The Steelers have arrived in Texas(cheesey smile)........and are ready for the Superbowl.(cheesey smile) I asked Big Ben if they had a shot to win it (cheesey smile)............and he said yes.(cheesey smile) When I asked the coach if they are taking things serious (cheesey smile)..............He said we have to, it's the superbowl you idiot." (cheesey smile)

She used to be a lot better, or maybe I was dumber back then and her obvious commentary seemed interesting??

Rachel is far from the worst ESPN woman "reporter".

ANY of them on First Take...all horrid...Raisha Canidate (sp) is the absolute worst of the worst (even beats out Dana Jacobson)...

Linda "What Will I Have Lifted This Week" Cohn...no matter how hard her plastic surgeon tries she is stll oogly....

Hannah Storm (LOL, LOL, LOL), Kelly Nochi, the Smith gal, etc., etc.....blech....

In fairness, most of the males on ESPN are putrid as well. The network has really gone down the tubes in recent years. Too many "wanna be" comedians and "hard core" reporters instead of just talking sports like they used to.

Isn't that 80% of sportstalk radio these days? Mike & Mike, Sirius NFL radio & Dallas' Norn Hitzges is the only sports radio I can listen too.

None of you can complain about sports show until you've heard Sparky and Gary Ellerson doing the BIG show on 1250 WSSP. They sound like She-Monkey's on crack.

She bothers me too. Way too many females reporting sports. If all these women are on ESPN then whose in the kitchen?

Anyways the only reporter/broadcaster that i hate more is Gary Bender who does the play-by-play for suns games. He is such a deusche..
