Hey, look! It's the best defensive player in the NCAA, USC's Rey Maualuga, treating ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews like... well... everybody seems to figure it's OK to treat Erin Andrews.

Funny-- I guess-- but... weird. Like, for one, is this even a story? I think so, but mostly because the whole Erin Andrews thing has grown a little strange, hasn't it? (Also: cheap page views) I mean, am I the only one who thinks she kinda sometimes looks a little too witchy? Wait, no. That's not what I mean, I mean, it's really become a little too OK to watch and film and take pictures of and blog about her every move, hasn't it? Things are maybe getting a little creepy here, no? And exactly how has it become so acceptable for this one person to be obsessed over this way?

The Big Lead tries to get to the nut of the situation:

"Bonnie Bernstein, Jill Arrington, Melissa Stark - they covered college sports for years. Did incidents like this not happen to them because they gave off more of a professional [read: "not as hot", says a TBL commenter] vibe? Or is the spotlight always on Andrews, and try as she might, there’s no escaping it?"

Meh. I dunno...
