Erin Andrews rushed through Lions-Packers halftime report preparation
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 28 Oct, 21:32 · Archive
Fox sideline reporter Erin Andrews scrambled to prepare for a halftime report after spending longer than expected interviewing Packers coach Matt LaFleur.
Erin Andrews, a Fox Sports sideline reporter, had to rush to prepare for her halftime report during Sunday's Lions-Packers game in Detroit. After interviewing Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, Andrews had only about one minute to get ready before going on air, as the long ramp at Ford Field to the locker room had extended her time with the coach.
Andrews explained on her 'Calm Down' podcast with co-host Charissa Thompson that she typically has time to ask two questions to a coach at halftime. However, the lengthy tunnel meant she asked four or five questions of LaFleur, leaving her scrambling. 'I'm like, "Oh my God, I've got to shore up my notes,"' she recalled. 'And I'm like, "Wait, s---. What did he say about going for it?" Because I never want to quote a coach and get it wrong.'
To ensure accuracy, Andrews listened back to a recording of her conversation with LaFleur, a practice she has adopted in recent years. She also realised she was missing injury information, so she ran to find the PR staff before Burkhardt sent the broadcast to her. Andrews managed to make it back to the camera in time but said she stumbled throughout her report after running around.
