![]() You’ll never get back.” Then I saw that Melissa Stark was named the reporter for “Sunday Night Football” and that felt like a huge turning point for me, to see somebody go away from the sideline and come back in such a prominent role. I think if you had told me you have to leave your sideline job to go do something like this, I would have been like, “You never leave the sideline. I circle back to what I would have thought about this job five years ago. It felt like it was the time to broaden beyond sideline reporting, which is a great job. I think five or eight years ago, I would have thought I could do this job, but I bet I wouldn’t have been as good at it as I probably will be today, hopefully. We get to talk, we get to have our opinions, and we jump off the news and everything that’s happening in the NFL. ![]() This job with “Good Morning Football” is about talent. I try to wrap my head around the job this way: My job at CBS was to support the broadcast as the game unfolded. It’s different than what I had done for eight years at CBS, and they were amazing years. Here are some excerpts from our conversation, which you can listen to in full in the player below. Last week, I had a long sit-down with Erdahl on her new NFL Network role and how she navigated being a working mother in a high-profile sports gig. Erdahl was part of the group with Ian Eagle and Jim Spanarkel that took a magical ride last March with Saint Peter’s. She also hopes CBS is open to her continuing to work the NCAA Tournament as a sideline reporter. Those are a lot of great boxes to check in the next couple of years.”Įrdahl said she hopes to continue to do some work for CBS, including guest spots on “We Need To Talk,” which airs on CBS Sports Network and CBS. It’s going to make me a better professional. This is going to be really good for myself and my family in terms of the contract I agreed to, and that’s as much as I can hope for right now. That’s just a skill set in and of itself that I don’t have yet, but I can’t wait to have it. What I’ve really come to terms with is if you can be on television three hours a day live and talk about any topic, you can do any kind of TV for three hours a day. It doesn’t just have to be sports stuff, either. “Not saying that it has changed it to the course of I’ll remain in studio, but it will open up, as long as I do well, a wide variety of things. “I’ve said to my family and close circle of people that I feel like this has changed the trajectory of my career,” Erdahl said. That now changes as she debuts Monday as the new host of NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football.” She replaces Kay Adams on that program, alongside Peter Schrager, Kyle Brandt, Will Selva and Jason McCourty. Erdahl has spent the last eight years mostly as a road warrior given her assignments at CBS, which included the NFL and NCAA Tournament as well as the best SEC football games.
