Yeah, We Know: Alleged Peephole Creep Busted

((HT: MyFoxChicago))

Yeah, we know... the Feds did some investigating and came up with a 48-year-old alleged creepazoid who may have been the one who stalked Erin Andrews...

Here's the story from Chicago...

Anyone who thinks he can pedal the tapes to TMZ seems like a real MENSA...

Andrews Stalked by Paparazzi

According to a report in today's Atlanta Journal Constitution (well ajc.com anyway), Erin Andrews, ESPN's sideline reporter, called 911 on July 22nd saying she was being stalked by the paparazzi.

Andrews who has been in the news of late after a video of her walking around her hotel room naked was released on the internet, was very shaken by the incident, one where she said "I did nothing wrong and I'm being treated by Britney Spears".

While we aren't big fans of Andrews' reporting skills, she has become immensely popular in the internet community. Unfortunately, some of the folks who haunt that part of the universe can be, well...a bit odd. There is some debate about the whole video thing, though for one, I don't think there should be, I find it hard to believe that she would willingly consent to that.

The paparazzi thing is another issue. There should be laws in place about those guys. Andrews apparently lives in a gated community, yet these guys got in. I get the whole "Get a picture" thing. Why can't that be done in a public place like everyone else?

Sports Talk Goes Head-To-Head With Christine Brennan

Christine Brennan has raised a few eyebrows in the last days over her comments on the Erin Andrews situation...

Here was Round One on her Facebook and Twitter elements...

On the Erin Andrews situation, a quick thought for those who have asked: There are hundreds of women covering sports in this country who haven't had this happen to them. I wish it didn't happen to Erin, but I also would suggest to her if she asked (and she hasn't) that she rely on her talent and brains and not succumb to the lowest common denominator in sports media by playing to the frat house.

Seeing this, and remembering their tete-a-tetes from the past, "Steak" Shapiro and co-host Chris DiMino hads Brennan as a guest on the "Mayhem in the AM" program Thursday morning on WQXI-AM/790 The Zone.

What the two hosts, seemingly, ignored were her follow-up comments to her original post...

When I said "play to the frat house," it was not meant to be pointed specifically at Erin, and I'm sorry if it was taken that way. It's a comment I use often in speeches and while talking to younger women to guide myself and all of us on how to live our lives as women in sports journalism.

I don't want us playing to the frat house; I want us talking to the 12-year-old girl on the couch watching sports with her Mom or Dad. As the hundreds of women who work in sports media know, we often still have to be twice as good to get half the credit. It's not fair, but it's the way it is. I have fought for years for opportunities for women in sports journalism, and will continue to do so. ...

and the last part... For those who think I am against Erin, nothing could be further from the truth. What happened to her is terrible, and she will always have my full support. That's all she wrote...thanks! :)

Here's their dust-up for all to listen to...

At the 4:30 and 12:30 marks of this are the major head-butting elements in the segment...

Those of us at OSG HQ think the act itself was wholly deplorable and completely "frat-house" like in its execution. This should happen to no one- ever...

Personally, we think the person or persons responsible should be executed...

But that's just us...

Erin Andrews Videotaped Nude; Opens Up Can of Whoop-Ass

OK, folks...hell hath no fury...

According to published reports, The Four-Letter's sideline reporter Erin Andrews ((pictured, thanks Four-Letter)) was the victim of a peeping tom with a video camera. The blurry video only lasted about five minutes, and the hotel location cannot be identified from the footage. In the video, Andrews is seen primping her hair and putting on her makeup. Officials believe it was taken through a peephole, or some other hole in the wall. **enter Porky's reference here**

"While alone in the privacy of her hotel room, Erin Andrews was surreptitiously videotaped without her knowledge or consent," Andrews' attorney Marshall Grossman said in his official statement. "She was the victim of a crime and is taking action to protect herself and help ensure that others are not similarly violated in the future."

Grossman goes on to say, "Although the perpetrators of this criminal act have not yet been identified, when they are identified, she intends to bring both civil and criminal charges against them and against anyone who has published the material."

The Four-Letter has jumped in behind their reporter, who was voted the Sexiest Sportscaster by Playboy Magazine for 2008 and 2009. “Erin has been grievously wronged here,” Four-Letter spokesman Josh Krulewitz said. “Our people and resources are in full support of her as she deals with this abhorrent act.”

The video has been pulled off Internet sites left and right. But beware, OSG readers...if you go out trying to find this video, hackers have laced several copies of it with Malware and other serious viruses.

Trust me...it's her...and she's pissed. Her lawyer is tracking anyone who uploads it...or views it.
