Erin Andrews: Goodbye, Hotel Peephole Video; Hello, College Football Season!


The "nightmare" behind her, Erin Andrews is ready to play ball.

Or talk about people playing football in college, at least.

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Andrews said that she's ready to put the hotel peephole video scandal behind her and head back to work for ESPN.

Thursday's football game between the University of South Carolina and North Carolina State will be her first sideline-reporting gig since the incident.

No one knows when it happened or who did it, but some miscreant secretly shot video of Erin Andrews naked in a hotel room and posted it online. Perv.

"It's really going to help me heal my wounds," Andrews told Winfrey, whose interview with "America's Sexiest Sportscaster," 31, will air September 24.

Erin Andrews has kept a very low profile since the tape's leak.

After the Erin Andrews nude footage popped up, the Florida graduate had to shoot down rumors that she leaked nude footage of herself for the publicity.

That, for her, was the toughest part, as she was pretty broken up over the naked tape and has promised to take legal action against the perpetrator(s).

Erin says she was just as shocked as anybody to see that grainy hotel video.

"I opened up the computer [and] could feel my heart pounding," she said.

Erin says this will be her "first and last" interview on the online tape.

"People have a story they have to cover," the sportscaster, who called 911 at one point due to photographers camped outside her Atlanta home. "But I just felt like I was continuing to be victimized. I did nothing wrong here.
