Only Shallowness Preventing Vinny from "Most Approved" Status

Last week, Deadspin's "Media Approval Ratings" featured Vin Scully. Predictably, Vin fared quite well, with a 94% approval rating. Now Deadspin reports an enterprising soul has compiled their results in an easy-to-read graph. (We love graphs.) And can you believe Vinny isn't the most beloved sportscaster out there? Who is more beloved than Vinny? Who dares to be one percentage point more lovable than Vin Scully?

No, not Orel Hershiser. Erin Andrews! Really, what has she got that Vinny hasn't? (Wait, don't answer that.) I'm just glad that we at Sons of Steve Garvey would never pander to our audience by gratuitously referencing Erin Andrews over and over again.

Our integrity is intact!

P.S.: Scott Van Pelt is tied with Vinny at 94%. I'm not sure why.

Erin Andrews Pulls Hidden Kiss Trick on Frustrated Cameraman

From ESPN.com:

ESPN reporter Erin Andrews showed up on the Shea scoreboard Kiss Cam. She obliged, kissing her hand and planting it on her cameraman's cheek.

To Erin Andrews: That was cold. To the cameraman: Well, bribing the Kiss Cam operator didn't work. Any more bright ideas?

UPDATE:

A play-by-play description from The 10 Spot Blog By Pete McEntegart at SI.com:

The camera seems to find ESPN's Erin Andrews even when she's not on the air. Shea's KissCam zeroed in on her and a male co-worker during one between-inning break, but Ms. Andrews wasn't having it. She kissed her palm and placed it on his cheek. That wasn't enough for the co-worker, who playfully moved in for a smooch on the cheek while Andrews wriggled like a fish. Who says you get a better view at home?
