Career
Before joining ESPN, Spain worked for Fox Sports Net, MouthpieceSports.com, ChicagoNow.com and was the recurring guest-host of WGN's radio show called ChicagoNow Radio. Spain also did some work as a sideline reporter for the Big Ten Network and hosted the Coors Light Fantasy Players Minute. Spain was one of the original co-hosts of the WGN-TV show "Chicago's Best," with Ted Brunson and Brittney Payton. She joined ESPN 1000 in Chicago in 2010 and signed on as a writer for espnW.com in October of the same year. On January 23, 2015, it was announced ESPN was launching a new radio show called Spain & Prim with Spain and anchor Prim Siripipat as the co-hosts. In January 2016 Spain, Jane McManus and Kate Fagan launched a new national ESPN Radio show, "The Trifecta," and Spain launched her own ESPN podcast, "That's What She Said." Spain has appeared on a variety of ESPN television shows, including "His & Hers" (formerly "Numbers Never Lie"), "Olbermann," "Mike & Mike," "The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz," "First Take," "The Sports Reporters" and "Outside The Lines." On February 25, 2016, Spain made her first appearance on ESPN's Around the Horn and, like the previous two first-time panelists, made it to Showdown and lost. Like LZ Granderson the month before, the loss came against Jackie MacMullan. In September 2016, Spain inked a new multi-year deal with ESPN and launched the new national ESPN Radio show, "Izzy & Spain", with co-host Israel Gutierrez.
Super Bowl XLI
Spain, having grown up in the Chicago area, is a Chicago Bears fan. When the team advanced to play in Super Bowl XLI against the Indianapolis Colts, she wanted to be able to attend the game. Living in Los Angeles at the time, she decided to put herself on eBay offering to be someone's date to the game. One of the pictures she used in the listing was a Halloween picture of Spain dressed as a Bears cheerleader, complete with a revealing low-cut top. News of the stunt eventually reached Unilever, the makers of Axe Body Spray, who in turn offered Spain tickets to the game and also held their own contest to see how far men would go to see their favorite team in the big game. While Spain did manage to forge a career in sports media and become a voice for women's issues in sport, the Super Bowl stunt has continued to follow her in the years that have passed and she has been critical of media members and other people for continuing to bring it up.
