“I've straightened my hair for many years. I've never felt comfortable wearing my hair natural on air.”

“The whole narrative of the 'Return to the Land' was completely PR spin. Fans ate it up because it painted LeBron as the hero coming back to save Cleveland from obscurity.”

“Fans want to see their favorite players as invested in games as they are, regardless of the perceived importance.”

“Despite having a lackluster completion percentage, Kaepernick managed to throw 16 touchdowns against four interceptions in 2016.”

“Miami fans have got a terrible reputation around the national media, and I think it's very unfair.”

“I'm very excited for the opportunity to work with Skip Bayless, the top opinionist in the business, and Shannon Sharpe, legendary NFL tight end and Hall of Famer. I love a good debate and look forward to sitting with these two and seeing what happens every day.”

“I'm well-versed on LeBron coming from Miami and his time there.”

“Hosting Undisputed' has been an amazing experience and an exciting chapter in my career working with Skip and Shannon each weekday morning.”

“Everybody rips on Miami fans all of the time. We're a loving people. You know, we like to go out and we like to party and we like our sports and entertainment.”

“If LeBron doesn't care about the regular season, why should fans? The answer: Russell Westbrook. Where LeBron and others are content to rest and save themselves for games they feel are more important, Westbrook has gone a different way.”

“The only thing worse than domestic violence or abuse is being accused of it when you haven't done it.”

“I've done some moderating in the past at CBSSports.com. Certainly not in the debate format.”

“I've had a difficult relationship with my hair my whole life.”

“A lot of people are calling for Roger Goodell to resign, but it's not our choice. And the fact of the matter is,he makes the NFL a ton of money. And that is the most important thing. We all know money is the bottom line.”

“The argument has never been whether Kaepernick is one of the top five quarterbacks in the NFL. He's not in the top 10 either. But when you consider the alternatives teams are considering, Kaepernick's omission begins to look ridiculous.”

“You have to carry yourself with respect, care about your reputation. And unfortunately, as a woman, you have to be smarter and better and you have no room for mistakes or error.”

“I'm originally from Pittsburgh. So I come from an amazing sports town.”

“Do you know how many teams have won three straight titles over the last 40 years? Two. Michael Jordan's Bulls twice in the 1990s and Kobe and Shaq's Lakers from 2000-02. LeBron would have joined that list had Miami won that third straight title.”

“Saying Kaepernick is a distraction is based largely on opinion. You could say his decision to kneel for the national anthem was detrimental to the team. If that is so, I would hope you'd note that Kaepernick's teammates gave him the Len Eshmont Award at the end of the season.”

“I think it's so important to represent beautiful, natural, healthy Black hair on television and in media, so the young women who feel pressured to look a certain way can see they are beautiful and their hair doesn't have to look a certain way to be professional.”
