Cornette was a Chicago Bears reporter for Fox 32 prior to joining ESPN. She hosted her own weekly sports program, “Bears Unleashed.” Additionally, she worked for the Big Ten Network and The Chicago Huddle on ABC 7.
Initially, Cornette helped out ESPN as a host for its college sports coverage. She was eventually promoted to “SportsCenter” host due to her work ethic. From time to time, she also fills in as the host of “First Take.” That’s only when Molly Qerim is off though.
As part of ESPN’s “50 States in 50 Days” tour, Cornette was in Wisconsin with Ryan Clark this Friday to watch the Green Bay Packers during their opening week of training camp.

Even though Cornette is a fan of the Bears, she was willing to wear Green Bay’s colors while in enemy territory.
Prior to this Friday’s edition of “SportsCenter,” Cornette issued an apology to Bears fans. Whether or not they’ll forgive her is unclear.
“I’m sorry Bears fans…this was the hand I was dealt,” Cornette wrote.

Considering the Packers have owned the Bears for the past decade, we’d totally understand if their fans are a bit offended by Cornette’s outfit.

Will that impact Cornette’s fandom for the 2025 season though? Probably not.
The Bears will begin their 2025 season on Sept. 8 against the Minnesota Vikings. They won’t face the Packers until Dec. 7. Their second meeting will take place roughly two weeks later on Dec. 20.
