Lauren Gardner, Female Reporter

   Gardner, a graduate of the University of Colorado, landed her first job in her hometown serving as the “In-Game Host” for the Colorado Avalanche, Denver Broncos and Colorado Rockies. For a sports reporter under 30 years old, male or female, Lauren Gardner has amassed an impressive resume. She was a former Denver Broncos cheerleader in 2008, and has covered the Lingerie Football League for MTV2; which was her first report that was a recognized event. After being picked up by CBS sports, the red-haired beauty has covered college football, tennis and most recently baseball. When she first started reporting for CBS she attracted lots of attention purely though her looks. Many people see beauty as useless tool because people would rather completely focus on the game being reported on rather then the reporter them self. Either way people started to realize she was not just reading scripts, she was educated on sports and knew what her responsibility was when reporting on a game. She enjoys reporting on college football the most just because she was a football cheerleader and she enjoyed her college years very much. She also believes that college sports are more intense of a game because they are not playing for a paycheck, but for the reputation of being the best. This being said, she respects the NFL and the athletes who participate, just believes that on a college level team winning the game has a lot more meaning for the players and not just all revolved around fame and fortune. In all, Gardner has been an excellent insight to college level sports for CBS and reports quite frequently since the duration of her time with CBS sports. To top it all off the lovely lady also has a pilots license.
