    Erin Andrews Wants to Switch Places for a Day With Former Super Bowl Champion

    By Paolo Mariano,

    4 hours ago

    Fox Sports reporter Erin Andrews has been busy with all the thrilling action and player developments in the NFL this season.

    But aside from her work on the gridiron, Andrews has also been managing her time being a mom, a businesswoman, and a podcaster. Her "Calm Down With Erin and Charissa" podcast with fellow Fox Sports reporter Charissa Thompson has close to 50,000 subscribers on YouTube.

    The 46-year-old Andrews, who started her career with ESPN in 2004, has developed credibility by constantly working with seasoned analysts and former players throughout the years. The dynamic has also given her a closer look into their personalities, which she sometimes shares on their podcast.

    In the latest episode , Andrews and Thompson were asked by a fan: "If you could switch places with one of your coworkers for a day, who would it be?"

    It didn't take long for them to think of a similar answer: Former NFL star Rob Gronkowski.

    "I'll say it, I wanna be Gronk for a day," said Andrews.

    "That was mine!" replied Thompson.

    Andrews went on to explain why he picked the four-time Super Bowl champion.

    "I tell people who don't know Gronk this all the time: He is exactly what you want him to be and what you expect him to be," said the veteran reporter. "He is the best."

    The 35-year-old Gronkowski, who played tight end for the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in his 11-year career, is known for his gregarious character and fun-loving aura. He was signed by Fox Sports as a game analyst in 2019.

    Thompson echoed Andrew's comments, adding that Gronkowski is "next level" when it comes to self-deprecation.

    "I love people who are unapologetic about who they are," added Thompson. "I said to Gronk, 'You are a human espresso.' He just instantly puts everyone in a good mood.

    "He doesn't take himself too seriously. He doesn't mind being the butt of the joke."
