The elaborate recording studio was all a tizz today with the arrival of a mysterious cameraman who hails from Vegas but lives in Jersey. That was the tip-off that we might have just found the guy who filmed Erin Andrews. Funny…he knocked and he didn’t require nudity. So we just went about our day recording sports podcast mayhem for you. Why the cameraman, you ask? The Girls will have an announcement soon.

But before we get to the big news, we have some little news. Our first ‘girlie’ magazine mention. Not that kind! Marie Claire thinks you ought to listen to The Fantoo Girls if you want to get up to speed on the ins and outs of the sports world, especially when it comes to football. Thanks MC!

We’re still waiting for Hef to call and make us his Sports Girls Next Door. Trust us, we can keep up with Kendra. And in about 20 weeks anyone will be able to keep up with Kendra. In the meantime we’ll spill the beans on The Girls coming to the smaller screen really near you as soon as we can.

And now we unlock the door and let the podcast out of the bag:

We hope she still has that chain…never know when it might come in handy.

Episode 175

Erin Andrews VS Peeper, LA Angels VS NY Mets and Shaq VS with The Girls!

Today The Girls are coming to you live from Erin Andrews’ hotel room. Why are we inside rather than creepily loitering outside with a camera trained on the peephole? Because we knocked. Seriously, the dude who made this little indie film has issues, and will have more coming once ESPN and Erin’s attorneys get a hold of him. But the additional perpetrator of this crime is…the New York Post. They decry the ‘Peep Shocker’ while publishing three explicit photos from the film - one on the cover!!! Does that make us all voyeurs, or just the editors at the Post? Did we mention they plastered her on the cover on Day Two of Peepgate without having any additional information to print? How Post of them.

In addition to his being a huge violation of her privacy, it’s a bad way to show some love to the girl every male sports fan wants to call his own. Guys, she’s been so cool. She’s put up with so much. The chick is just trying to get you the info you need in between your bathroom breaks and your belches. Appreciate from afar and leave her alone.

Shaq gets his own, shiny reality TV show and we wonder how long it will take for him to challenge LeBron. Best upcoming episode of ‘Shaq Vs.’ will be him against Mist May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh in volleyball. Just think of the outfit potential? Not the suit below tho - leave that for your vacation with your wife Shaunie. Love seeing you two back together. Now go find yourself a banana-hammock!

Shaq and Shaunie on vacation in the Caymans in early July.

Central Image Agency…thanks to The Evil Beet for this pic.

There was golf played last weekend. While Stewart Cink and Tony Romo played well and broke hearts, it was Charles’ Barkley’s swing that was the real story. Or was it the civil suit filed against Ben Roethlisberger by an employee of Harrah’s stemming from an incident last year at about this time? You’d actually never know if you watched ESPN…

Breathless talk about Michael Vick amps up to a feverish pitch. Will there even be a market for him at this stage? Oakland? Al Davis? Are you there? Maybe the Bengals? How about backing up Donovan McNabb for the Eagles? But please let the talking/writing heads suspend the ‘not deserving to get back into the NFL’ argument for someone who really has not paid his debt to society - there are some of those in the NFL for sure. Let Goodell decide if he wants Vick as a representative of the league and then the let market decide if he has skills.

Terrell Owens and his mom and girlfriend publicists Mo and Kita at the premier of the T.O. Show on VH1.

‘The T.O. Show’ is on. The girls have decided that T.O. in all his super-fantastic-body-elastic cheesy, hokey glory is as mesmerizing as Princess Di. What will he do next? (Seduce the real estate agent, check. Hit up the ex-fiance to show her off, check. Get a date with Jessica Simpson…well, some things take time.) Is there a chance for reconciliation with his ex-fiance? (No) Will we see more of his famous workout bands? (Without question). Will he cry? (Does Bud Selig have a comb-over?) Complete summer froth. Can’t get enough. DVR set to capture every glorious moment.

NASCAR is on ESPN for the next 6 races. How do we know? It’s suddenly relevant sporting information on the network’s updates! Just please let Tony Stewart win this year. Another Jimmie Johnson victory is, well, un-Disney. As un-Disney as Jeremy Mayfield’s ‘independent’ drug test (the one he passed 40 minutes before he failed the NASCAR one).

The Tour de France has Alberto “Lance was my idol, but dropping him today wasn’t important” Contador with a feel-good lead over Armstrong and the rest of the crew. And no one is trusting anyone but themselves this year. Orders are defied, strategies kept secret, mysterious breakaways when others least expect it, and that’s just Team Astana…or more specifically, Alberto Contador. The riders head into the final stages, but there is a sneaking suspicion that it’s not over until it’s really over this year.

Except if you’re Jens Voight, who slid face-first for 20 feet after crashing on the descent Tuesday.

Then it is over. Speedy recover, sir. And amidst all the testing for PEDs, could someone in France check the white paint used on the roads? It’s got an evil streak.

Becks is booooooooooed at home, but all is not lost in LA. The L.A. Angels give Los Angeleans a reason to be proud - in the lead for the AL West despite their power houses on the DL. Will they make any moves by the July 31 trade deadline? Is that really a deadline? We clear that up for Landis in our Fan Tutor. All you need to know is that Philly is kickin’ it solid while Mets fans weep over their highly-paid and well-populated DL. And somehow, someway, the Yankees creep back to the top of the AL East. We wrap it up with a little reflection on the Apollo 11 landing on the moon moons ago. So grab your popcorn and masking tape (for the peep hole in your room) and toss away your ankle bracelet, it’s time to talk sports with The Girls!
