About twelve or fifteen years ago, only a couple of channels covered big leagues like the NFL. Over time, more channels have popped up. With the NFL being so huge, every channel’s scrambling to grab the top spot for coverage. And Fox has been giving it their all. It looks like the folks at Fox aren’t shy about drawing inspiration from their competitors. Amazon’s NFL broadcast team has a fun little tradition that’s became a fan favorite: they break out a karaoke machine. And Fox’s reporter, Erin Andrews, revealed that her channel is getting a karaoke machine as well.

Erin Andrews revealed the exciting news during the ‘Calm Down‘ podcast with her friend, Charissa Thompson. “We took a cue from Thursday night football, and we got a karaoke machine,” said the former ESPN reporter. But it didn’t go as well as she had hoped, as her friend Charissa cast doubt on her singing skills. But no way was Erin going to let her friend prove her right.

he quickly asked her team members to jump in and tell Charissa just how good her singing skills are. Tagging her crew, including Kevin Burkhardt and Mike Pereira, Erin shared a clip from the Calm Down podcast and wrote, “Need some reinforcements from my @nflonfox crew plz.” And guess what? Kevin Burkhardt was fully on board to support his co-worker, Reposting the clip on his story, he wrote, “I can vouch for this @erinandrews a dancing and singing clinic!! @charissajthompson.” 

Who wouldn’t want a colleague like Kevin? Anyway, when we say Fox is going all in, we mean it. They’ve brought on board former Patriots legend Tom Brady. With millions of fans, getting him on the crew is quite an exceptional move on their part.

The former QB even covered the Cowboys game on Thanksgiving alongside Erin Andrews and Kevin Burkhardt. Posting a few behind-the-scenes pictures, Kevin captioned, “Weekends at Lambeau never disappoint. Pregame laughs with @erinandrews, mid game shenanigans with @tombrady all so fun. See you all on Thanksgiving from Dallas! @nflonfox. Thanks @zohrehuomo for 🥼@toddrphoto for 📸.”

Despite all the fun that Andrews has been having, she also comes across people trying to bring her down.

Erin Andrews has a perfect response for an ‘ageist’ comment

No matter the era, one thing that remains constant is men commenting on women’s looks and bodies. But Erin Andrews isn’t about to let a random stranger on the internet bring her down. Recently, a user on X commented on Fox’s reporter’s age, saying she is ‘too old now‘ and should retire. Not only that, he went on to point out Erin Andrews’ wrinkles and suggested that Fox should hire someone new instead. Erin fired back at the ageist comment by replying, “Don’t even think you need HD to see them. But appreciating you pointing them out bud!”

Erin’s fans then flooded her X comment section with praise. “You are beautiful. You have more experience and knowledge of the game than any “younger” could hope for. Erin, you are amazing! Thank you for making us “olds” look good!!”, writes a user. Well, people, it’s high time we stop age-shaming others, isn’t it?

Anyway, for now, fans are excited about Fox’s new karaoke machine addition to Thursday Night Football. And Erin’s fans are super excited to see her singing skills in action. She revealed her favorite karaoke songs on the podcast with her friend Charissa. And guess what those songs are? Blank Space by none other than Taylor Swift, among other Swift songs.
