    She better be careful she could easily be old news in 3 years and people are not gonna forget about the Nichols incident, I bet Nichols has some powerful friends and I got to say it, she is white.

    I really hope this is the first step of the long journey giving extremely hot women the chance to succeed in media and journalism.

    Malika Andrews is doing a solid job on the side, I prefer her because Nichols' voice is just annoying to me, so nothing about this rubbish.

    It’s so refreshing to see them expands their roles beyond just weather.

    Nichols has her job for a reason. She's related to Diane Sawyer.

    So you think that's the only reason she has her job?

    That's even worse than what Nicholls is being accused of.o_O

    I never said it was the only reason, but I do believe it certainly helped. You said she had friends in high places. I agree. Nepotism is real.

    Hmmm… the only people at nbc sports that anyone knows are over 60. They are dying. Not sure this helps her long term. NBC needs young blood, but they are dying. ESPN has a better platform and more ways to cash in.

    NBC is what, NASCAR, golf, and soccer?

    …And NBC looks like a lot of white men. Not ideal, but if she was unhappy then do your own thing. But think that ESPN is still the best place for her.

    Yeah it helped but how do you explain what has happened over the last 20 years and her rise.

    Once again you did the same thing people are up on arms that Nichols supposedly did.

    Yes Nepotism is real but what does that have to do with any of this?

    That's why I said she needs to be careful, yeah she might get the bag now but you have to look long term and what that will mean for her career.

    She needs a bigger role within ESPN/ABC. She just comes across as much more personable and likable than some of the other people at that network.

    The bigger the role, the more ESPN will control what they say so don’t think that’s a good idea. She should move to another network as soon as they offer a better position.

    NBC has the Olympics coming up plus they have………Sunday Night Football & Football Night In America.

    That would trump anything she’s doing over at ESPN. If any of this is true then it’s a big upgrade.

    What I said was certainly not worse than what Racial Nichols said, and just because you say it is doesn't make it so.

    Then again I wouldn't expect that to make munch sense to you as you're over here saying Taylor better watch out as Nichols and her high powered friends can come for her at any moment to put an end to her career.
