As someone who obviously spends a great
deal of her time talking and interviewing all types
of athletes and personalities, Fitness MOST had to
ask Lindsay to tell us three things: who the most
interesting person/people she has ever interviewed
are, what was her most challenging interview
to date, and who she desires to interview in the
near future. As far as interesting goes, Lindsay
responded, “I love any athlete that isn’t politically
correct. Any athlete that will provide entertainment
for readers or viewers and show that sports can
be fun and a form of entertainment. With that said,
I love interviewing Metta World Peace, Terrell
Owens, Antonio Cromartie or Chad Ochocinco.
They are true entertainers.” On the other hand,
attempting to talk to someone who gives one-word
answers must be the very bane of a reporter’s
existence and Lindsay agrees that it is certainly
true in her case, as she once had to interview an
NBA player that answered every single question
with a “yes” or a “no.” “I asked him about a
particular play in a previous game, and he still
managed to answer me with “Yeeeaaahh man.” My
coworkers had worked with him before and warned
me, but I thought they were joking. I was wrong!
Luckily I stil l had 20 questions ready to fire at him
to fill 3 minutes of LIVE airtime. It was awkward.”
And last but not least, in answer to our question
about who she desires to meet, she says it’s none
other than Marshawn Lynch. “He gives reporters
the same response and hates interviewing. I
honestly feel bad for the guy and am glad the NFL
is not fining him for his comments on Media Day
at the Super Bowl. The mystery that surrounds him
makes me want to find out more about him. Maybe
that’s just the reporter in me.”
Well the reporter in her is not only drawn to the
mystery of the unknown and learning the quirks
of famous athletes, but also understands that it’s

quite often the fans who support their team every
day and her co-hosts who can provide the most
important and unique exchanges during an event,
as Lindsay found out at the Super Bowl this year.
“Getting to interact with the fans that came to
watch what was happening on the NFL Experience
Stage was my favorite part. Those are the diehard
fans that never miss a game, save up their hardearned money to fly out to support their favorite
teams, and support them with tremendous pride.
They know every statistic in the book. Those are
my favorite people to interact with.” Additionally,
she admits that getting to host alongside some
of her favorite male hosts and athletes, such as
Joe Montana, one of the greatest QBs of all time,
and feed off of them, teaches her a lot. While
on the topic of the Super Bowl, Fitness MOST
knew our readers would want a fun behind-thescenes tidbit from the most watched Super Bowl
in history, and Lindsay tells us the best thing she
saw. Surprisingly, it had nothing to do with football,
but rather she dishes that she saw, on game day,
Brazilian model and actress Adriana Lima eating
a dessert parfait at the NFL Official Tailgate. “Who
knew!?” exclaimed Lindsay. “She actually splurges
occasionally and eats dessert. Probably not before
the big fashion show though.”
eeting and interacting with all these
famous people every day as part of
one’s daily job must be extremely
entertaining, but Lindsay claims that actually her
job hosting the 2012 NFL draft was her favorite
so far, and she described what it was like for us.
“The preparation for that was extensive though.
I watched film on every player and could tell you
anything you wanted to know about the top 100
guys. Every now and then an analyst would even
come in my ear and ask for a name pronunciation.
And I can’t think of two analysts more professional
