Career

Prior to joining ESPN, Arrington covered college and professional football for CBS and Fox Broadcasting Company.

She is also noted for her good looks. In 2001, Arrington was voted the sexiest sportscaster by "Playboy". She was ranked #48 on the Maxim Hot 100 Women of 2002cite web | title=FreeJose.com | work=Maxim Magazine Hot 100 Women of 2002 | url=http://www.freejose.com/lists/maxim/2002/ | accessdate=January 23 | accessyear=2007] and #70 on the FHM 100 Sexiest Women of 2003.cite web | title=FreeJose.com | work=FHM 100 Sexiest Women of 2003 | url=http://www.freejose.com/lists/fhm/2003/ | accessdate=January 18 | accessyear=2007]

She has been featured in commercials for Coors beer, and played Deion Sanders' wife in Nike's "Briscoe High" commercials.

During an interview with University of Georgia coach Mark Richt in 2002, Arrington pronounced Georgia defensive end David Pollack's last name (pronounced POL-ak) as if it were a slur directed at the Polish. Critics have often cited the incident as an example that sideline reporting adds little to games.
