Now Cronin, who is also the host of ESPN’s Unsportsmanlike Radio, has announced that she will return to a primetime slot, filling in for Tony Reali as the host of Around The Horn.

“I can hear @TonyReali now: ‘The picks you make equal the mutes you take,'” she tweeted .

“See you at 5 ET on ESPN 2 (where we’ll be all week) on @AroundtheHorn.”

The tweet was accompanied by a snap of Cronin on the Around The Horn set in a stunning pink and white patterned dress, accompanied by a pair of sleek heels.

The news went down a storm with Cronin’s adoring fans on X .

“Amazing!!! Doing a great job. Love seeing you hosting. Keep it up,” one wrote.

“You look [fire] have a good show,” said a second.

“That’s a great look!” added another.

While a fourth simply said Cronin was “Killing it.”

The former Minnesota Vikings reporter also took to Instagram where she shared another glamorous snap as she posed by the set’s unique host desk.

One of the major talking points on Monday’s show was the news of NFL All-Pro CeeDee Lamb’s new contract with the Dallas Cowboys .

The star wideout, who held out of training camp and all three preseason games, put pen to paper on a four-year deal worth $136 million.

Dallas-based analyst Tim Cowlishaw told Cronin this move will allow the Cowboys to “move forward with their best player.”

“It remains to be seen if that means they’re even close to being as good as they were last year,” he added.

And Cowlishaw elaborated on this slight pessimism surrounding the Cowboys in 2024, noting how “CeeDee Lamb does have a bigger load to carry this year.

“Without [Tony] Pollard, [Ezekiel Elliott] is their best running back? Are you serious with that?

“They really don’t have another threat on this offense besides CeeDee Lamb.”

Help could be en route ahead of their regular season opener against the Cleveland Browns on September 8, however, with former Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook having met with the Cowboys on Monday.

Last season was one to forget for the former Vikings star, who started just one of his 15 appearances for the New York Jets , rushing for 214 yards and no touchdowns.

Cook later signed for the Baltimore Ravens , making just one playoff appearance where he rushed for 23 yards on eight carries.
