Flip on any sports network and you’re guaranteed to find some stunning women center screen. We’re not just talking about the professional athletes either. Long gone are the days where sportscasting was left to the men, as now there are some truly beautiful ladies giving us the scoop on the latest win, the most recent heartbreak, and the ugliest rivalries.

Here is our top ten list of ladies who make us even happier than usual to flip on the sportscast:

9. Samantha Ponder (formerly Samantha Steele)

As a sideline reporter and host for ESPN college football and basketball, Samantha has a quick wit and professionalism that few can even hope to master. She is co-host of the early morning ET edition of College Gameday on ESPNU, although she is most renowned for being Erin Andrews’ replacement on Saturday College Gameday on ESPN.

8. Jenn Brown

Who can forget the stunning correspondent who was featured in the Emmy Award winning show “Inside the NFL”? Not us, that’s for sure. Before locking down her position at ESPN, Jenn also worked at CBS and Showtime Sports as a live-event reporter.

7. Melissa Stark

This reporter for the NFL Network has also made her mark in the NBC, not to mention in the heart of thousands of sports-loving Americans. Amongst her other many accomplishments, Melissa also worked for ESPN as a reporter. Back in the day, however, any NFL lover would turn on Monday Night Football and be thrilled to see Melissa’s face light up the screen.

6. Molly Qerim

Turn on the NFL Network in the morning during the week and who do you see? Molly Qurim! As the host of NFL AM, she makes the morning infinitely more bearable. If you want to see more of her, you can also watch her host NFL Fantasy Live.

3. Erin Andrews

Although you may have seen her on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars and Good Morning America, this knockout is primarily known for her role as sportcaster at Fox Sports. She is the current host of FOX College Football and has reported on many major sporting events throughout her career, such as the Superbowl and the World Series.

2. Sara Carbonero

Best known around the world for her hotness. You may remember this sexy Spanish sportscaster from her interview with boyfriend Iker Casillas. She was also accused of distracting Iker Casillas, causing Swiss victory against Spain. The TV host is sportscaster for Telecinco. Sara was named “The Sexiest Reporter in the World” by FHM in 2009.

1. Melanie Collins

You can barely turn on a sports or entertainment station without seeing this young sportscaster lighting up the screen. NBA-TV, E!
