Hot women x sports is a combination that can never go wrong. Unfortunately, finding a dime that knows her sports is kind of a rarity. Most of the time sportscasters are flabby dudes like Chris Berman (sorry fam, Nutrisystem ain

Rachel Nichols
Network: ESPN
Show(s): Sunday NFL Countdown, Monday Night Countdown, E:60
Complex says: You know you've made it as a reporter when a younger actress of the same name is often mistaken for you, and not the other way around. Plus, she has that soo-woo flavor to her—gotta love the redheads.
Michelle Beisner
Network: NFL Network
Show(s): NFL Network Now, NFL Weekly Countdown
Complex says: This former cheerleader for the Denver Broncos also produced and starred in a contemporary burlesque show. We love a girl who's multi-talented. We heard she doesn't mind cavorting with fellow sportscasters, either—boo-yah!
Colleen Dominguez
Network: ESPN
Show(s): Outside the Lines
Complex says: This broadcasting vet has been in the game since the early '90s and made her switch to sports journalism in 2004. In spite of her age, we still wouldn't mind being inside her lines...
Heidi Watney
Network: New England Sports Network (NESN)
Show(s): The Red Sox Report
Complex says: This Miss California runner-up was rumored to be the homewrecker behind Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek's divorce in 2008. Kinda trifey...yeah, we likey.
Kristen Berset
Network: Fox 45
Show(s): Fox 45 Evening News
Complex says: Kristen works weekends as Fox 45's sports anchor. With no one outside of Baltimore seeing her show, this former Miss Florida is another underrated gem. That face + set of twos = national-coverage worthy.
Reischea Canidate
Network: ESPN
Show(s): ESPN First Take
Complex says: We wonder how many times she's been hit with the "Reischea, Can-I-Date you?" line. Side note: After some research, we're relieved to say that longtime sports reporter Tom McDonald (pictured above) did not wife up Reischea—he's just a former co-worker. Phew!
Hazel Mae
Network: MLB Network
Show(s): Hot Stove, MLB Tonight, 30 Clubs in 30 Days, Quick Pitch
Complex says: Before moving to the MLB Network, Hazel worked at NESN and was also linked to Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek. Damn, we're starting to think that was part of the interview process for females over there.
Jill Arrington
Network: Fox Sports Net
Show(s): Totally NASCAR
Complex says: This broadcast vet gives
two very good reasons for non-Southerners to watch NASCAR.
Lindsay Soto
Network: NFL Network
Show(s): Sideline Reporter
Complex says: Enjoy this popular YouTube clip, featuring Lindsay trying to obscure her cleavage while interviewing Rob Niedermayer. While we appreciate the professionalism, we also think it's best for any reporter to expose all their attributes.
Nicole Manske Briscoe
Network: ESPN2
Show(s): NASCAR Now
Complex says: Nicole competed in beauty pageants, winning Miss Illinois Teen USA 1998 before covering motorsports. Nothing wrong with a pretty girl that knows how to work the stick.
Jillian Barberie-Reynolds
Network: Fox Sports
Show(s): Fox NFL Sunday
Complex says: Jillian's sex appeal has fallen off a little bit—appearances in Nutrisystem ads will do that to ya. But the good news is, while her waistline may have shrunken, we see her chestpiece is still fat as fuck.
Sage Steele
Network: ESPN
Show(s): SportsCenter
Complex says: ESPN heads started waking up to Miss Steele in 2007 when she became an anchor on
ESPN First Take. Sage seems like a classy lady, but the porn-star-sounding name suggests that she has a freaky side. We're just sayin'...
Adriana Monsalve
Network: ESPN
Show(s): ESPN Deportes
Complex says: Adriana first gained fame as the lead singer of the girl group "Chikas." We can't front, at first glance, we thought her last name was "Manslave." Not sure if it was a simple reading error or an unconscious desire...
Michelle Beadle
Networks: ESPN, ABC
Show(s): SportsNation, Winner's Bracket
Complex says: Michelle did everything from interviewing bull riders to deep-throating hot dogs before making it to ESPN. She may be a sleeper, but that legendary ESPY dress is still ringing bells...
Danyelle Sargent
Networks: Fox Sports Net
Show(s): Final Score
Complex says: Danyelle is married to former NBA coach Eric Musselman and gained notoriety for talking dirty while on the air. Best believe Ms. "Sargent" makes our privates stand at attention.
Molly Sullivan
Networks: Mountain West Sports Network
Show(s): Game Coverage
Complex says: Molly was a nationally ranked distance swimmer while attending UNC at Chapel Hill. While we don't know what the hell Mountain West Sports Network is, judging from Miss Sullivan, it has good taste in leading ladies.
Carrie Milbank
Networks: NHL.com
Show(s): The Hockey Show
Complex says: Carrie was a Houston Texans cheerleader before becoming doing coverage for NHL.com. She also graduated cum laude with a degree in communications from the University of West Florida. What good is beauty without getting some brain?
Lisa Dergan Podsednik
Networks: Fox Sports Net
Show(s): Sideline Reporter
Complex says: This Playboy playmate's husband, Scott Podsednik, has been on seven different MLB teams in the span of 10 years. If his lack of commitment ever translates off the field...get at us, Lisa.
Jenn Sterger
Networks: Versus
Show(s): The Daily Line
Complex says: This former Florida State University cowgirl posed for Playboy and was featured on E! Byte Me: 20 Hottest Women of the Web. Talk about a body of work. But is she hot enough to send a pic of your wang (ayo!)? Mr. Favre thought so. ALLEGEDLY!
Molly Qerim
Networks: ESPN U
Show(s): Campus Connection
Complex says: This UConn grad majored in communications and minored in business and then went to grad school for total-fucking-hotness.
Ines Sainz
Networks: TV Azteca
Show(s): Game Coverage, Sideline Reporter
Complex says: This Mexican reporter got some shine in the States when she was the only person that T.O. would speak to during a Dallas game in which he had avoided the media the entire day. We're sure she was selected because of her outstanding skills in journalism.
Erin Andrews
Networks: ESPN
Show(s): Game Coverage, Sideline Reporter
Complex says: Erin's been through it all: peeping toms, death threats, and bullshit judging on Dancing with the Stars. But even at the age of 32, she defines the hot x female sportscaster category.
Leeann Tweeden
Networks: NBC
Show(s): Poker After Dark
Complex says: The debate on whether or not poker is a sport can go on forever. Take one look at this former Hooter's girl and tell us if you're mad that she made the list—yeah, we thought so.
Melanie Collins
Networks: Big 10 Network
Show(s): Big 10 Cookout
Complex says: Melanie is both a former bikini model and a communications major from Penn State. We can only wonder what made her more qualified for her current position...
Sarah Carbonero
Networks: Telecinco
Show(s): Informativos Telecinco
Complex says: A couple months ago this Spanish beauty caused a stir in the World Cup, when some accused her of distracting her boyfriend, goalkeeper Iker Casillas, and causing Spain's defeat to Swiss in a group-stage match. Spain recovered from the loss and went on to win the World Cup. She was hot enough to grab the world's attention at its biggest sporting event, so she's most def hot enough to be #1 on this list.
