“I Hear Snoring”: Fox’s NFL Reporter, Erin Andrews Reveals How She Almost Died While On Call With Aaron Rodgers
On this week’s edition of Calm Down with Erin and Charissa, the podcast she co-hosts with Charissa Thompson, Erin Andrews shared a crazy tale. For Week 1 of the NFL season, Andrews was his route to Green Bay to cover the Aaron Rodgers Packers’ game. She arrived at the stadium unharmed.
But last week, Erin Andrews experienced a severe fright while traveling. Andrews booked a taxi to take him from Chicago to Green Bay. She was on a conference call with Aaron Rodgers and other Packers players, along with Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen, two other Fox announcers.
Things became risky at this point. As they traveled at 65 mph down the highway, everything was going according to plan until she abruptly heard snoring.

Erin Andrews reveals a near-death experience while on a call with Aaron Rodgers
When Andrews was traveling from Chicago to Green Bay to cover the Packers-Vikings game last week, her chauffeur fell asleep at the wheel, she confessed on the show. Andrews co-hosts the iHeart Radio podcast “Calm Down with Erin and Charissa” with Charissa Thompson.
“I’m typing, headphones are working, we’re good. I hear snoring. I know it’s not Greg Olsen, Kevin Burkhardt or Aaron Rodgers snoring. It’s my driver who fell asleep at the wheel. On a highway from Chicago!” Andrews said.
“Moving. 65 miles an hour,” she said. “I am so thankful I put my phone on mute because we’re on a Zoom. I put my phone on mute and I go “ARE YOU EFFING SLEEPING?!” Wakes up, Clark Griswold, it was awful. So now I have the quarterback of the team I’m trying to work on, I’m trying to take notes. I have full-blown anxiety. This is not the way I want to go down. This is not the way I want to die…”
Andrews experienced a small panic attack the whole trip, staring piercingly into the driver’s dead eyes in the rearview mirror. Coughing loudly every thirty seconds to try to keep him awake. Luckily, they arrived in Green Bay without incident. The remainder of the vehicle journey was filled with anxiety but she made it to the game where Aaron Rodgers played.
