(AP) NEW YORK - Erin Andrews is leaving ESPN.

The network released a statement saying the reporter "did great work for us and we made an aggressive offer to keep her. We wish her the best on her next chapter."

A favorite among fans, Andrews covered numerous sports for the network since 2004, often as a sideline reporter for college football and basketball.

SI.com has reported that she is being pursued by Fox Sports.

in the picture here, she has manly features. wonder what sport she played in high school, college or pro? personally like to view the game and not view or listen to reporters, commentators during a game. do appreciate commentators calling the plays on the field, court, etc. but most just jabber on about nothing.

If she goes I guess I won't be seeing her again as I will not watch FOX.
