The world of sports journalism has long been dominated by men on television and on the radio. However, there is a surging class of female sports journalists who are currently tearing it up in the industry with their amazing good looks and intelligent insight on the games. We pulled together 22 of the most beautiful women in sports journalism for your pleasure!
Amanda Pflugrad
You wouldn’t hire plumbers who hadn’t ever done any plumbing services before, would you? Amanda Pflugrad has been in the world of sports before she became a sports journalist. Pflugrad was a cheerleader at the University of Oregon and now she is a reporter for the New York Jets.

Lauren Gardner
Gardner started out with CBS Sports in 2012 as a reporter for college football. Eventually she worked her way through a few other sports before landing as a correspondent on CBSSports.com. Gardner worked her way up the ladder much like any other plumbing contractor with a slew of drain cleaning gigs ahead of him or her. Only, she probably looked better while doing it.

Jenn Brown has done it all in her life as a sports journalist. Brown used to work for ESPN and she now works for the NFL Network. Brown has already scored a pair of Emmy’s for her work and we think that they are well deserved. Brown has covered the Super Bowl, the WSOP, and even the X-Games. She’s kind of what you’d call, well, successful.

Rebecca Harlow
If graduating from Princeton University would turn plumbers into babes like Harlow, well, we think you’d have a few more blue collar students going through the school. Harlow works on the NFL Network as a host and she already has quite the work history behind her.

Curry first started working for Fuel TV before jumping onto NBC Sports. Now Curry is a sideline reporter for the L.A. Kings and we bet Kings’ fans are ecstatic about that. Curry currently reports for Fox Sports West.

Renee Young
The WWE counts as a sport, right? Ah, oh well we’re going to count it just for Renee Young’s sake. Renee Young is probably stronger than any plumbing contractor that you’ve ever met — and she needs to be as a ringside host for the World of Wrestling. She’s also easy on the eyes too.
