Michelle Beadle is the host of a popular afternoon sports show by the name of Sportsnation. It's also the first place where most of us saw Michelle in action.Colin Cowherd is the other host of the show that originally drew me into watching Sportsnation but its Michelle's quit wit, humor and overall sports knowledge that keeps me continually interested in what's going on with the show on a daily basis.

Beadle graduated from the University of Texas and got her start in sports reporting with a gig for Spike TV covering Professional Bull Riding while also covering the San Antonio Spurs.
She has previously worked for the YES Network as a co-host of Yankees on Deck and Sportslife NYC, and was the host of YES' Ultimate Road Trip and inHD's Cathedrals of the Game. Beadle was also a sideline reporter for the YES Network's coverage of New Jersey Nets basketball games.
In 2002, Beadle was a "Behind-The-Chutes" reporter for TNN's coverage of the Professional Bull Riders' Bud Light Cup tour, in what was the channel's final season of broadcasting the PBR before the tour moved to OLN. She has also hosted ESPN's Titan Games, Fox
Sports Net's Big Game Hunters, and College Sports Television's The 1 College Sports Show.
Sports Net's Big Game Hunters, and College Sports Television's The 1 College Sports Show.
She has hosted several other entertainment-themed and reality-based shows, including People.com's feature, What You Missed Over the Weekend, Fine Living Network's I Want Your Job, Animal Planet's Animal Planet Report, Discovery Channel's Get Packing, and red carpet reporting at various venues.
At 34 years old and already a tremendous amount of experience in the sports industry, it could be obvious that ESPN would plan to keep her around for quite a while. It would be smart move on ESPN's part to continue to hire female reporters that actually know the games they cover to satisfy the ever growing female sports fan base that is starving for legitimate representation.
Michelle Beadle is a great example of a beautiful woman who's not afraid to show her girly side to compliment the quick witted sports journalist that continues to surprise the hell out of me. No matter what skit they put her in on Sportsnation, she continually knocks it out of the park. A perfect example of her acting ability was when the show booked Maurey Povich. Colin, Maurey and Michelle proceeded to hold a sports debate "You Are Not the Father Style".
In case you haven't caught her on the show Sportsnation's, its on ESPN2 Monday thru Friday at 4pm. The following is a promo clip for the show. The clip doesn't really show that they do actually debate about sports topics of the day but it does show the good chemistry between the hosts and jealous that they have a job as cool as talking sports and watching the web's best videos...
