Someone went from being a message board poster on a gambling website to writing for ESPN.com pretty quickly. The person used pictures in a byline that likely got them the jobs in the first place...pictures of hot, young women. "Sarah Phillips" even compared herself to Erin Andrews, but said she was different because she puts her money where her mouth is by betting on the games. "She" used different pictures (of different people, it would appear) and never met a supervisor. Very likely that it was a dude the whole time just using photos of hot chicks to get the attention. There are so few informed hot chicks in the sports world, that I'm sure the guy (if that's the case) realized that it would give a leg-up in the industry.
