NFL Network anchor Rich Eisen is in hot water. His wife received an e-mail filled with several revealing photos of another woman. The e-mail was meant to reach Eisen, but the sender was unaware that the e-mail was shared between Eisen and his wife. The photos showed the young woman in several bikini poses.
CBS Sportsline has found out that the bikini-clad woman is Alycia Lane, an anchor at Philadelphia’s CBS affiliate KYW-TV. When news broke of the e-mail, Lane decided to release her own statement on the matter. Lane explained that she and Eisen have been “purely platonic” friends “for almost 10 years”. They have “regularly exchanged e-mail and photos”. This included “seven e-mails and several bikini photos”.
Eisen’s wife made sure to reply back to the email. In a letter obtained by the Post, hissed back at Lane: “Boy, do you look amazing in a bikini … congrats! Whatever you’re doing, (Pilates? yoga?) keep doing it — it’s working for you … sorry but those seven e-mails you sent to my husband, Rich, well, oops, they came to the e-mail address we both use from time to time.” His wife then forwarded Eisen’s personal email address, “since you surely are trying so hard to get attention.
The situation has received a lot of attention from several media outlets. Many in the know understand that the attention is very unwanted by the NFL Network. The league is very disappointed in receiving the negative attention and are looking at the best course of action to take. Rumors are circulating that the incident may cost Eisen his job. The next few weeks will let us know what his future just may be,
