Sunday was all about God and football during Dionne Miller's Ohio childhood. In 1987, at age 9, she wept as John Elway drove 98 yards in five minutes to finish off her beloved Cleveland Browns in the AFC championship game.
Sports wasn't her intended career path then. A pastor's daughter, she attended a small Christian liberal arts college planning to become a teacher. Soured by a psychology class, she switched to journalism, and there the sideline star was born. "I could be paid to talk sports?" Miller recalls thinking. She flashes her mile-wide smile: "Awesome."
She covered rodeo in Montana and college hockey in Vermont before settling in Columbus, Ohio, where she handled Big Ten sports. In 2012, Fox's WFLD-TV/Channel 32 lured her here. "She's engaging and witty and prepared," Fox 32 sports anchor Lou Canellis says. "No one knows more."
In October, Miller made the leap to ABC's WLS-TV/Channel 7. "She's a great get," says Mark Giangreco, Channel 7's sports director and lead sports anchor. In doing so, she became the first woman to crack the sports desk at the city's top-ranked station.

I will never forget watching my beloved Cleveland Browns in the 1986 AFC Championship game. It was the first time I cried over a loss -- I was 9 years old. You might remember that game for "The Drive." To me it was the first indication that sports was not just a game to me. I can still see the dejected Browns limping off the field. It changed my life. Since that time, I have cheered, booed and cried through countless sporting events as a fan. It wasn't until a decade later that I realized I could actually make talking about sports my career. And the first time I stood in front of a camera and the red light came on... I was hooked. That day changed my career path from Education to Broadcast Journalism. That was more than a decade ago and I have been surpremely blessed ever since. Currently I live and work in Chicago, where my first assignment was Cubs Opening Day at Wrigley Field. I instantly fell in love with the City and its passion for sports. I never see that more than covering the Bears. Sometimes I can't believe I get to be at every game-- such a gift! I've really come to truly have not picked a baseball team. As a non-native... this is my lone right.. for now. &nbs
