It’s extremely strange that ESPN’s other sideline hottie gets hardly any attention when it comes to the Google Images machine.

In just a simple search for “Rachel + Nichols + ESPN,” the best that showed up was this one. Whereas, on the other hand, Erin Andrews receives a bazillion results. (Even some of Andrews’ pictures came up in Rachel’s search results.)

This leads us to crown Rachel Nichols as the most underrated sideline reporter on television. Certainly, she has the knowledge and experience. And good looks — absolutely. The lively redhead brings an always creative report to an otherwise useless figure of being network eye-candy a sideline reporter.

TSC approves. Do you?
