ESPN’s Molly Qerim will be on hiatus from “First Take” for the next little bit, she announced in an Instagram post.

Before the weekend commenced, Molly Qerim announced that she’s taking a vacation with her family and will return “in a few weeks.” Qerim is headed to an undisclosed region for the getaway, noting that she’s working on her tan lines.

It’s not uncommon for popular ESPN talents to take an unexplained hiatus, but no need to worry about Qerim. The 41-year-old is enjoying a short getaway before the sports season gets busy again in the fall.

Qerim began her first stint at ESPN in 2006 and worked there until 2010. She had stops at CBS and NFL Network before returning to the Worldwide Leader in Sports in 2015, taking over as the full-time host for “First Take” with Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless.

Bayless left ESPN in 2016 to host “Undisputed” on Fox Sports 1, teaming up with Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe. The show’s ratings tanked after Sharpe left the network in 2023, and Bayless left FS1 last August.

Qerim and Smith continue to run “First Take” together, with various guests and analysts appearing on the program. Earlier this year, Smith signed a multi-year extension with ESPN worth over $100 million.

We’re in the “dog days” of summer sports, with the NFL, MLB and NBA all on hiatus until the fall. The WNBA and Major League Baseball are getting the attention in the U.S. right now, but sports media in the U.S. will get even busier when the NFL returns in September, and when the NHL and NBA begin their 2025-26 seasons in October.

LSU Tigers star Angel Resse has been making a lot of headlines after her match against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Reese has a unique fashion for her matches, she wears leggings on only one of her legs and she recently revealed the secret of doing so.

Reese lost her recent game against the Iowa Hawkeyes which left the fans wondering if she would continue with LSU or declare for the WNBA draft. Those questions have also been answered by Reese in her recent collaboration with Vogue.

Why does Angel Reese wear one legging attire?

Angel Reese wears only one legging as a part of her one-court attire and the fans have grown curious about it. Many people speculated that it was part of a superstition that Reese followed, however, that is not the case. The LSU star has herself revealed the reason for the unique dressing choice and it may surprise a lot of people.

“I had surgery two years back on my shin. I have a rod in my leg… I cover the scar on one, and then the two players that I admire, Te’a Cooper and A’ja Wilson, also wear it, too. So it is swag. But I have used it to cover my scar,” said Angel Reese. She revealed that she had surgery on her leg and had a scar on it. She wears the leggings to hide that scar and at the same time as a swag fashion accessory.
