I don’t know what it is with me and my Rachel Nichols obsession. I mean, she isn’t that hot. I just have this totally bizarre obsession.

Here’s my reasoning:

A.) She’s probably a freak.

B.) She’s a redhead (meaning, once again, that she’s probably a freak)

C.) She never blinks (just think of what other talents she might possess)

D.) Her dirty pillow talk would be sports-based — she obviously knows her sports, fellas. Especially football.

E.) She’s the step-daughter-in-law of Diane Sawyer. While I wouldn’t seduce Sawyer at this point — she’s too damn old now and her husband directed one of my favorite all-time flicks (The Graduate) — Rachel probably learned a few tricks from the old fox.

F.) On my blog, she’s not married.

She’s my biggest weird-obsession girl, and female sports reporters typically hold down that role. While I may feature other chicks week to week, it’s going to take someone spectacularly weird hotness-wise to knock her off. There’s just something about the idea of getting my sports news and my freak on simultaneously that captivates me.

Here’s the only YouTube footage I could dig up (be sure to watch her eyes)…
