Minnesota radio personality Michele Tafoya is leaving the mothership. ESPN, her home since 2000, confirmed that the one-time "Monday Night Football" sideline reporter was moving on.

"Michele was a great contributor to ESPN's NFL and NBA coverage," said Bill Hofheimer, senior director of communiciations for the sports network. "We part ways amicably and wish her the best."

Rumors are that Tafoya, who steers WCCO's afternoon show, will be jumping to NBC.

We're hoping to talk to her later today.
