Erin Andrews Lands Cool TV Job Outside of the NFL
Andrews is part of FOX's top NFL broadcasting crew, but starting Monday, you can catch her on NBC in the mornings. This weekend, TODAY With Jenna & Friends announced that Andrews will be guest co-host for the week of May 12.
"We can't wait to spend the week with you," the show's official account said in an Instagram post.
"Guuuuuuuuys!!!! It's gonna be a time!!!!!" Andrews acknowledged in the comments.
TODAY With Jenna & Friends is hosted by Jenna Bush Hager, the daughter of former president George W. Bush. Comedian and actor Matt Rogers was last week's guest host, and other recent guest hosts include actor Ken Jeong, comedian Wanda Sykes and actress Tina Fey.
Andrews has worked for FOX for more than a decade after making the leap from ESPN. Her contract with the network expired after the Super Bowl, but there are indications she'll be back in the fold this fall.
"I think my goal is always kind of the same as last year," Andrews said last September. "Enjoy it, because it's not going to last forever, especially when your contract is up — and mine is."
During an episode of her "Calm Down" podcast with Charissa Thompson in March, Andrews made reference to longtime colleague Jimmy Johnson returning to make guest appearances after he announced his retirement.
Alert listeners took note of the way Andrews referred to Johnson--saying that his retirement "won't feel real until we kick off the season"--and deduced that the 47-year-old journalist was planning to be back on the job with FOX in September.
Andrews is the network's top sideline reporter, working with No. 1 play-by-play man Kevin Burkhardt and game analyst Tom Brady.

Tom Brady's Appearance at Raiders' Preseason Game Draws Attention
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Tom Brady is a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. He's also a broadcasting analyst for Fox. Both of those things keep him very active in the NFL world despite being retired. While he has not been very public when it comes to the Raiders, he has been rumored to be very involved with how the team is building. It has been awhile since Las Vegas was viewed as a legitimate contender in the AFC. Entering the 2025 NFL season, there is hope that the Raiders will begin turning things around under new head coach Pete Carroll. Tom Brady speaks onstage at Fanatics Fest NYC 2025 at Javits Center on June 21, 2025 in New York City.

In a video shared by the NFL's official account on X, Brady was seen arriving to the game in an old-school white Raiders' coat. That video drew a lot of fan reaction. It didn't take long for NFL fans to begin commenting about his appearance. "Imagine showing a Raiders fan this in 2002," one fan said. Another comment read, "Wish we got to see the shoulder pads and helmet version of this." "They should put Brady on the depth chart... just in case," a third fan wrote. A fourth comment stated, "As a kid from the Peninsula, this just isn't right." "Could still drop 40 passing TDs," a fifth fan wrote. Even though he's no longer playing football, Brady is still one of the most popular names in the NFL. His voice carries a lot of weight. Seeing him rocking Las Vegas gear is still strange. Thinking that he's actually a part of the team's ownership group is wild as well.

His first year was solid, but it was very raw with plenty of mistakes. Brady is a perfectionist and has undoubtedly been putting in lots of work on his craft this offseason. Fans will surely be paying a lot of attention to Brady as the season gets underway. For now, this appearance was enough to create a buzz.

Patrick Mahomes had doubts about Travis Kelce's romance with Taylor Swift at first
Patrick Mahomes was doubtful when Kansas City Chiefs team-mate Travis Kelce told him he was dating Taylor Swift. The Chiefs quarterback revealed that his friend Kelce had told him about the pair's relationship but explained that it was only when the pop star attended her first NFL game in September 2023 that he realised that the romance was genuine. Speaking in the ESPN docuseries The Kingdom, Mahomes said: "He told me during the week. It was one of those where I gotta see it until I believe it." Travis and Taylor's relationship was confirmed when the Blank Space singer attended the Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium for the NFL clash against the Chicago Bears and Mahomes admits that her presence at the game generated a "buzz". The 29-year-old sports star said: "You definitely felt the buzz and you could see people in the stadium gravitating towards where she was up there. At the same time, we had business to handle." Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones was astonished when the team discovered Taylor's relationship with Kelce. He recalled in the documentary: "We were in the locker room like, 'Taylor Swift's here. Taylor Swift? For real? With Travis? Oh my God!' "We were like, 'Oh my God Travis pulled Taylor Swift.'" Taylor recently compared Travis wooing her to being a John Hughes movie as she opened up about how the pair's romance came about. The 35-year-old singer said in a revealing interview on her boyfriend and his brother Jason Kelce's New Heights podcast: "This dude didn't get a meet and greet and he's making it everyone's problem. "That's what I thought at first... You realise he didn't even reach out to our management. He came with Pat [Mahomes] and he thought that because he knows the elevator lady, that he could talk to her about just getting down to my dressing room." She continued: "It felt more like I was in an '80s John Hughes movie, and he was standing outside of my window with a boombox saying, 'I want to date you! Do you want to go on a date with me? I made you a friendship bracelet! Do you want to date me?" The Cardigan singer acknowledged that Travis, 35, turned out to be the guy she'd been manifesting in her songs. She smiled: "I was like, 'If this guy's not crazy, this is sort of what I've been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager.'"

Did Dillon Gabriel throw shade at Shedeur Sanders?
Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel gave a very curious quote during his preseason debut on Saturday in Philadelphia against the Eagles. While talking with a sideline reporter, Gabriel said that "there's entertainers and competitors... and my job is to compete." As soon as Gabriel said that, folks wondered if he was throwing shade at fellow rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who has embraced his celebrity status over the years. The most likely answer to this was always no, as Gabriel clearly isn't careless enough to throw his teammate under the bus on live television. Not even a rookie should make that kind of mistake. After the game, Gabriel affirmed the obvious that he wasn't talking about Sanders at all, more so prioritizing his NFL career and role as a quarterback over having a presence in the media. That makes much more sense. However, that explanation and the context around it won't stop folks from thinking Gabriel got in a subtle diss at Sanders. It's not the case, but the internet will likely run with it anyhow. Who has won the Cleveland quarterback battle? There is no winner just yet, but veteran quarterback Joe Flacco is atop the depth chart. This article originally appeared on For The Win: Did Dillon Gabriel throw shade at Shedeur Sanders?
