Fox Sports’s Erin Andrews is one of the top sideline reporters covering the NFL—but that wasn’t always the case.
Like most journalists, she started as a young and inexperienced reporter. During that time in her career, an NFL player once made her cry, she revealed on Friday’s episode of the Calm Down podcast.
A listener sent in a question asking whether Andrews ever had cried while on the job, and she set the scene. She was 19 or 20 years old and was freelancing for an Orlando media outlet that wanted her to get sound from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
