Jamie Erdahl served as an NFL sideline reporter for CBS, where she remained highly visible during March Madness, until she left to host Good Morning Football on NFL Network in July 2022.
Erdahl has been on history-making NFL broadcasts, interviewed everyone’s favorite athletes, and sounded the Gjallarhorn for the Minnesota Vikings’ “Skol” chant. She’s done it all, but one thing she will never do is give trolls the time of day.
“You think your social media insults can affect me?” Erdahl posted on TikTok this week. “I had a man take his time to handwrite and USPS postage stamp a hate letter about my post-partum body weight to be delivered to me at work. Hate is a burden. Being unbothered is a gift.”
In her TikTok, Erdahl casually ate from a bag of Doritos to prove her impenetrable level of unbothered.
Erdahl welcomed her third child, Nora, by way of emergency C-section in March 2024.
Women in sports—and women on Earth in general—over-index in receiving undue harassment, as recently discussed by Mina Kimes and Michelle Beadle.
Beadle’s comments came in the context of addressing Pat McAfee’s reaction to University of Utah students expressing that he’s not exactly their favorite person.
“We are constantly told as women that we’re hysterical, we’re too emotional, we can’t handle things,” Beadle said while appearing on The Dan Le Batard Show. “I can’t tell you how many death and rape threats I’ve gotten via social media since 2009, when we got on Twitter originally. I could never be that soft. Never.”
Despite being the target of categorically insane behavior, Erdahl is undeterred in fully expressing herself and sharing aspects of her personal life. This May, Erdahl opened up about the devastating death of her father from pancreatic cancer.
