I was all set to write up an unapologetically drooling post about Monday Night Football's hiring of Lisa Guerrero as their new sideline reporter. Before this morning I'd never heard of her, and when I Googled her I found some stunning pictures of this dazzling woman.

Then I read a bit more in depth about her, and came away impressed. Guerrero is clearly a person of unparalleled drive and curiosity, a top-notch sports reporter who asks tough questions and gets impossible interviews. So yes, she's beautiful, but the beauty is trumped by her brains.

Plus, she was born in Chicago, which instantly raises anyone's stock in my estimation.

If only half of what I've read about Guerrero this morning is true, there probably hasn't been anyone this smart on MNF since Dennis Miller left.

I look forward to seeing what Lisa Guerrero will add to Monday Night Football. If I wasn't already pumped about the return of football in a couple of months, I am now.
