We’ve had our fun with Lindsay Soto (or more accurately, made dirty jokes about having our fun with Lindsay Soto). But the woman is nothing if not a professional. The Versus between-the-boards reporter managed to successfully interview a Ducks player, while simultaneously doing everything she could to make she we couldn’t see down her dress. She failed at that second part.
It was the perfect storm of cleavage. She had to lean over the divider, and that combined with the high angle shot and the low cut shirt meant that Rob Niedermayer showed up unwittingly in a lot of teenage boys’ dreams Tuesday night.
Since this is a full-service website, video after the jump.
Just a couple seconds into the interview, the producer in her earpiece alerts her that her breasts have jumped out on an odd man rush. After a quick glance at the monitor, she tries to casually cover herself with her hand. When that proves awkward, she tries pulling her blazer over her Stanley Cups. That also fails miserably.
Poor Lindsay. Breasts can be a girl’s best friend, but not in the sports media. It’s hard to be taken seriously when you’re known chiefly for one picture:
There were rumors of a breast reduction, and she settled into a successful if quiet career at FSN West, while doing national work for NBC and Versus. But all her yeoman’s work is out the window, once this gets passed around.

I can honestly say that her work has been great during this series. Rare is the case where I find a sideline reporter to have anything interesting to say, sans the occasional injury update, but she has actually come up with good information on these broadcasts. She should be recognized for more than just trying to make a hand save on her beauties.

It's not like they're hanging out or she's showing nip. I don't get all the fuss.

She is a consumate professional. It's a wonder why she wastes so much of her valuable career pissing around on the LA FSN net. In addition to all of her pro work, she's become the high school guru on the west coast. A tremendously creditable sports journalist. Props to Soto!

…plus she has nice boobs.

LOL, I watched this particular interview live, and Neidermeyer looked nervous, and Ms. Soto was VERY nervous about her abundant cleavage, especially when she pulled her sweater over her chest to hide those wonderful pups.

The video clip ended abruptly, but I could have swore Niedermayer was about to say "They seem to really jump out at me." Talkin about the boobs. I dont know why I would assume that. Listen close, Isnt that what he was about to say?

good job makin us click another link to "read full story" since you know cleavage would be an unstoppable force

Oh man hardly indecent lol. when has a little cleavage (especially that nice) ever hurt anyone? If she doesnt draw attention to them by trying to cover up i bet bet this clip flies largely under the radar.

She almost certainly has had a reduction.

Breast reduction or not, somewhere, someone out there is tearing that up.
Lucky guy, anyone no who her boyfriendis?

Get Heidi Androl to give this interview and shes gong to get a high stick from Rob..

She’s beautiful– no need to be shy about flashing some major league cleavage.

Don’t see the big deal. It was brief and not very glaring. Also, I usually don’t care for female sideline reporters but I will say she’s been doing a great job.

Saw this live. Was funny. But what’s funnier is the American guys’ reaction to a tiny bit of cleavage. In other countries we can go to the beach and observe plenty of topless women so we don’t jizz our pants everytime we see 15% of a woman’s breasts.
Also, Lindsey is an awesome sideline reporter. Always well prepared, asks interesting questions and knows her stuff.

I watched a couple times wondering if I missed something. I didn’t see any boobs falling out. Teachers probably show more cleavage each day. Pretty much a non-story. She probably gained more respect for the way she handled it(them).
