Prayers Pouring In For Erin Andrews On Thursday
Prayers are pouring in for Erin Andrews on Thursday. The Fox Sports NFL sideline reporter welcomed her first child into the world, a son named Mack, with the help of a surrogate in 2023. Andrews and her husband, former NHL player Jarret Stoll, had been trying to get pregnant on their own for years. They struggled with fertility and were open about their path. Andrews, 47, recently announced some tragic personal news. Her surrogate suffered a miscarriage while pregnant with the sportscaster's second baby. The sideline reporter shared the devastating news during an episode of her podcast, Calm Down with Erin and Charissa, on Thursday, May 22. "We got some real sh---- news today that our surrogate had miscarried. So I have dealt with this before, but things were going really, really well. And her little heartbeat and her numbers were really good — so much so I even told you guys a couple weeks ago because we thought we had such good news," she said. "But Ryan, you did such a bang-up job with this podcast today. I've been trying really hard to pay attention, I've just been tearing up the whole time and trying to stay focused," Andrews says to her podcast producer Ryan Musick. "But I'm also really really good at suppressing my feelings and work really helps me with that." Andrews said that she's used to the challenges of surrogacy and the ups and downs that come with it. "Been sitting here thinking about Taylor Swift's song, 'I Can Do It with a Broken Heart.' I'm really good at doing this sh-- with a broken heart," she said. "But I think I kinda made a promise to myself that when I was really open with how sh---- infertility has been and our journey with two surrogates, because we did lose…we had loss with our first surrogate and then luckily with our second one, we had Mack, that I was just going to be honest with people." Prayers are pouring in for her. "Praying for you," one fan wrote. "If you read the sentence 'Erin Andrews' surrogate has experienced a miscarriage' and you don't feel like throwing up, I'm sorry you're lost," one fan added. "Just tragic," one fan added. Our thoughts are with her friends and family members during this tough time.

Tom Brady to take Indy 500 lap with Jimmie Johnson before race's Fox debut
Two GOATs, 14 championships. That's going to be the scene moments before the Indianapolis 500 on May 25, when seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady takes a ridealong in a two-seat IndyCar with seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson. Both men are considered by many to be the greatest ever in their respective sports, and with Brady now a Fox Sports NFL analyst, it makes sense for him to appear at the first Indy 500 broadcast on Fox through its broadcast deal with IndyCar struck last year. Advertisement IndyCar offers a ridealong opportunity to a notable figure as part of its 'Fastest Seat in Sports' program before each race, and the speeds can be significant, if not top-end race pace. Past riders have included Lady Gaga, Mark Wahlberg and Alex Rodriguez (who did it to begin this season and who, like Brady, is also a TV analyst for Fox). Although Johnson didn't find success in his brief IndyCar career in his post-NASCAR days, he's still a four-time Indianapolis winner by virtue of his four NASCAR Brickyard 400 victories. Johnson qualified 12th and finished 28th after crashing in his lone Indy 500 attempt (2022). 'I love the Indy 500,' Johnson said. 'There is an energy and excitement around the 500 that is unlike anything I have experienced before. Certainly, pre-race ceremonies are the ultimate racing experience that I've had outside of the car. I'm thrilled to be a part of the program and to see the stands full one more time.' Later that day, the 49-year-old Johnson will fly to Charlotte to race in NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 — which will mark his 700th career Cup Series start. It is also his final scheduled start for the time being. Brady won six Super Bowls in 20 seasons with the New England Patriots, then moved to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and won a seventh title in 2020, his first of three seasons there. He retired after the 2022 season and joined Fox's No. 1 broadcast booth for 2024. (Photo of Tom Brady: Mike Ehrmann / Getty Images)
