There have been rumors floating around the web for while that with her contract set to expire at ESPN Michelle Beadle would be leaving the sports network.

We may be getting closer to knowing where Beadle's final destination will be. Sports by Brooks tweeted on Friday that Beadle is leaving ESPN for NBC Sports with an eye towards also working for Access Hollywood and the Today Show.

The popular Sports Nation co-host certainly has the ability to cross over to mainstream media from the world of sports and would be a big land for NBC.

If she does leave it will be interesting to see who ESPN replaces her with. Speculation has already started in the blogosphere on who will be the network's next girl in. My bet, and vote for that matter, is for Charrisa Thompson.

Beadle already proved she can handle morning television well when she talked about porn with Regis Philbin while filling in on Live for Kelly Rippa last summer.
