Erin Andrews Reveals Her Favorite Encounter With Tom Brady Away From The Football Field

Longtime NFL sideline reporter Erin Andrews has had many experiences with Tom Brady, but none topped one that had nothing to do with an interview.

Andrews revealed after Brady announced his retirement that she decided to bring her father and husband to go check out one of Brady’s offseason throwing sessions.

“This past summer, we’re in Montana,” Andrews began On her most recent episode of her ‘Calm Down‘ podcast with Charissa Thompson. “My dad came to visit, and it was the final day Tom was throwing before he had to leave, and I said, ‘Dad, do you want to go watch Tom throw? Do you want to go meet him?’ And he said, ‘Let’s go do it.’”

Erin Andrews said once Tom Brady recognized her at the session, he put her to work — asking the sideline reporter to help shag balls for him while he played catch with her husband, former NHL player Jarret Stoll.

“Tom said, ‘EA, I need you,’ and I said, ‘For what?’ And he goes, ‘You gotta shag balls, girl, I don’t have anyone out here,’” she said.

Erin Andrews would continue her legendary Tom Brady story by admitting that she was ‘severely hungover’. But regardless, it was the “best day of her life”.

“I just thought to myself, ‘I know how competitive he is. If I don’t line these footballs up correctly, if I don’t bring them back at the right time,’” Andrews said. “

My husband would catch the ball, he would throw it to me, I would put it in the bag. So this happened like eight times, and then once the duffle bag was full, I said, ‘What do I do? What do I do?’ Jarret’s like, ‘Go run it to him.’”

“I did this probably like ten times and each time I’d run the bag back he’s getting worked on by Alex, he’s like, ‘Thanks, thanks EA.’ And I was like, ‘Best day of my life.’”
