Katie Nolan is the definition of “girl you take home to Mom”
She’s gorgeous, smart, funny, rich (probably — hello ESPN money) talented and into sports. She seems like the type of chick who actually knows how to shotgun a beer, will laugh at a good fart joke, and probably has a better fantasy football team than you.
All of this is a long way of saying that Katie Nolan is the complete package, and that complete package is now free of Fox Sports 1 and is headed over the mothership over on ESPN.
After her legitimately hilarious Garbage Time was canceled by the idiots over at Fox Sports, Nolan wallowed away under contract and under-utilized at the JV ESPN. But with her contract expiring at the end of the year, Nolan was granted an early release for FS1 and was immediately signed by ESPN.
If ESPN is smart, they’ll give Nolan a prominent role across its properties, as well as her own show, whether it be on television or radio (our vote is television, considering she’s a 10/10).
Either way, Katie Nolan being back in the sports journalism world, and hopefully in front of a camera,f is a win for all sports fans, as she’s truly one of the brightest talents in the industry.
So congrats, Katie. We missed ya.
