When it comes to sideline reporting, Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson are a dream team on Fox Sports. But behind the camaraderie, even the closest colleagues can have misunderstandings-and theirs played out off-camera during the holiday season.
It all started when Charissa, feeling a sudden shift in their usual routine, confronted Erin on their podcast Calm Down With Erin and Charissa. "I have a confession to make," Charissa began nervously. "I didn't hear from you on our game." Erin, caught off guard, asked, "Did you think I was mad at you?"
Turns out, Charissa did. After years of texting before games and chatting religiously, Erin's uncharacteristic radio silence left her co-host spiraling with self-doubt. "I texted you before the game, said I was so excited, and then... nothing," Charissa revealed.
It was all a misunderstanding
Erin, visibly shocked, was quick to clear the air. "Oh my god, no!" she exclaimed, insisting there was no bad blood. The culprit? The chaos of holiday season scheduling. Between Christmas celebrations and non-stop NFL coverage, Erin was simply too busy to respond.
Charissa wasn't convinced right away. "We usually talk before games, even if it's just a quick call," she noted, itting she had assumed the worst. Erin reassured her friend it was all a misunderstanding, and the two laughed about how easily wires had gotten crossed during a hectic time of year.
Erin and Charissa are ready for the playoffs
Despite the momentary tension, the duo quickly moved on, showcasing the strength of their friendship. "We're like family," Erin said. "Sometimes, things just get crazy, but that doesn't change how much we've got each other's backs."
Now, with the NFL postseason looming, Andrews and Thompson are back in sync, ready to deliver top-tier coverage for fans. Their off-camera hiccup may have been a New Year's misunderstanding, but it's clear these two are stronger-and funnier-than ever.
For the record, Erin promises to return Charissa's texts from now on.
