This is a time when I really wish I had one of those old-fashioned Associated Press machines that had bells ringing to signify a big breaking story.

FLASH–ERIN ANDREWS LEAVING ESPN. TWITTER EXPLODES.

According to Richard Deitsch of SI.com, Andrews could be headed for Fox Sports. From Richard:

SI.com has learned that Fox Sports is aggressively pursuing ESPN sportscaster  Erin Andrews for a role at its network. The network’s executives recently met  with Andrews regarding a major role in Fox’s college football coverage.

Shortly after SI.com reported the news that Fox was pursuing Andrews, ESPN  released a statement that said Andrews had left the network. “Erin Andrews is  leaving ESPN,” an ESPN spokesperson said. “She did great work for us and we made  an aggressive offer to keep her. We wish her the best on her next chapter.”

OK, everyone can exhale now.
