A blurry nude video of ESPN sports reporter Erin Andrews created a storm of controversy

last week after someone shot it illegally and posted it on the Internet.

Is there any chance that the video was shot in Buffalo?

Local law enforcement officials say they are unaware of any proof that it is, despite a

report on an entertainment gossip Web site that was picked up by a Buffalo television station.

"If we got any kind of solid information, we would look into it," Scott R. Patronik, chief

of special services for the Erie County Sheriff's office, said Wednesday. "At least, we would

begin a preliminary investigation and talk to the district attorney about it."

Anyone can post something on a Web site, alleging that a certain crime happened at a

certain location, Patronik said.

"At this point, all we have is a blog item from a Web site saying there were voyeuristic

videos posted from a Buffalo location," the investigator said. "There's no solid information

of any kind that we're aware of."

Buffalo Police spokesman Michael J. DeGeorge and James P. Kennedy, chief of criminal

prosecutions in the U.S. Attorney's office, said they too are unaware of any information

linking the controversial video to Buffalo.

Marshall B. Grossman, Andrews' attorney in Santa Monica, Calif., and an ESPN spokesman

declined to comment on the reports that the video was shot in Buffalo. Grossman's office and

ESPN both declined to say whether Andrews has ever spent time in Buffalo.

According to a statement issued by Grossman last week, an unknown person "surreptitiously

videotaped" Andrews in her hotel room without her knowledge and consent. If it can be

determined who did it, Andrews will pursue a lawsuit and criminal charges.

An aide to Grossman said she could not comment when asked if authorities have determined

who was behind the video, or where it was taken.

An entertainment gossip Web site, NinjaDude.com, reported over the weekend that it could

"confirm with 99 percent certainty" that Andrews and other "naked guests" have been filmed by

"criminal peepster[s]" inside a Buffalo health club.

Patronik said he is unaware of any proof that the report is accurate.

The New York Post on Tuesday published three images from the video. ESPN responded

Wednesday by banning staffers from the New York Post from appearing on any of its programming.

Newspaper reporters are regular guests on ESPN shows.

ESPN's Josh Krulewitz said, "Erin has been grievously wronged here. Our people and

resources are in full support of her as she deals with this abhorrent act. That's the

statement we issued previously and I'm not going beyond that."

Andrews, 31, is a popular broadcaster of football, baseball and other sports at ESPN, and

Playboy magazine named her America's "sexiest sportscaster" in 2008 and again this year.
