As you might expect, NFL games will look very different this season. Just like the other sports, there will be limited or no fans in the stands.
Last week, the NFL announced its new pandemic-specific policies for the upcoming season. Among the more notable changes, cheerleaders and mascots will not be allowed on the sidelines. So … see you guys from the stands on Sunday mornings. The show completes two seasons per year, with the fall edition often overlapping with her NFL work for Fox.
As her role outside of the world of sports has increased, her involvement with Fox Sports has faded. She stated during the trial the incident caused "serious mental injury," including depression, and she thanked those who supported her during the process, per Reuters. Looking ahead, Tom Verducci is expected to take over her main baseball assignments, highlighted by the World Series, opposite Ken Rosenthal, according to the Sports Illustrated report. If you've had all these questions, don't worry: We have all the answers.
Here's what you never knew about Erin Andrews. Breaking into the world of journalism is difficult — the hours are grueling and the topics can be difficult to cover — but the fact that her father was an award-winning journalist may have helped Erin Andrews see a fruitful career in the industry herself. He retired from his position in , as noted by WFLA , but his impact on Erin was surely inspiring. The father-daughter duo shared with Tampa Bay Online that when she was a kid, Steve would take Erin through spelling bee drills — if she got a word wrong, she would have to write it 10 times over, just to make the correct spelling stick — it was that kind of dedication to the job that was instilled in her from an early age.
As for Erin and Steve's bond, Erin shared that when she's home in Tampa with her dad, people will come up to them on the street — not because of her street cred, but because of her dad's. While Erin Andrews certainly paid attention to her journalistic pursuits while at the University of Florida, she also explored the sports world in a really fun, celebratory way. She graduated in , and not only used her time in college to advance her career and education, but she made a name for herself on the university's basketball dance team.
Yes, the future and now former host of "Dancing With the Stars" had a bit of a dance background herself, and as a team member of the Florida Gators Dazzlers, Andrews certainly sparkled. As noted by Sports Casting , Andrews was on the team from until her graduating year of , and the dance team performed at pretty much every sports event — from football to basketball — and sometimes they even performed at non-sporting events.
As far as the dance team is concerned, they are certainly proud of their alumna. On Andrews' birthday, they took to Twitter to share an old video of Andrews performing back in the day, alongside a sweet birthday message. After Erin Andrews graduated from the University of Florida in , she hit the ground running. She stayed in that job for just about a year though, as she was able to turn her attention to Turner Sports. From until , Andrews worked for Turner as a sports reporter and as a studio host, and covered teams such as the Atlanta Braves, Atlanta Thrashers, Atlanta Hawks, and college football both in the studio and in person.
The hard work and undoubtedly late nights in the newsroom certainly paid off for Andrews, because in , she officially joined ESPN as a reporter for the storied sports channel's NHL beat. From there, she transitioned into covering college football more on that later and the Big Ten college basketball beat. Any first day on a new job can be pretty terrifying, but what if your first day on the job just happened to be in a stadium full of people and was on-camera?
That was Erin Andrews' experience when she fulfilled the role of a sideline reporter during her first college football game in Andrews was with ESPN at the time, and the network wanted to take viewers behind the scenes during the game. It was all up to Andrews, and she later recalled that she didn't feel "ready for" the experience.
But in the same breath, she admitted that being thrown in the deep end was the best thing ESPN could've done for her. Andrews was with ESPN until , and when she moved on from the network, she admitted that she had essentially accomplished everything that ESPN was offering her at the time.
