In a pretty in-depth piece over at RANDBALL, Michael Rand explores the latest explosion & controversy regarding Erin Andrews‘ recent conversion from news reporter to actual news story herself, and gets a nice quote from Andrews herself in the process. In short: Erin Andrews doesn’t want your attention.
Rand begins with a brief summary of the outrage, starting with the recent print hit job by Mike Nadel for the GATEHOUSE NEWS SERVICE and the ensuing explosion on the blogosphere.

Michael Rand of the MINNEAPOLIS STAR-TRIBUNE squeezes out some numbers on Bill Belichick that will no doubt now be echoing over late night sports radio this week:
• Belichick was 36-44 with the Browns.
• The Patriots were 5-11 in 2000, Belichick’s first year, sans Tom Brady. And they lost their first game in 2001, also without Brady.
• Total record of 41-56 with one playoff appearance and no victories.
• Starting with Game 2 of the 2001 season, Brady has started every game for the Belichick-led Patriots. Since then, New England is 86-25 in the regular season with three Super Bowl titles and possibly a fourth on the way.
Rand isn’t calling Belichick Les Steckel (ouch, sorry Vikes fans), but the numbers do bring pause.
