NFL Network host Jamie Erdahl has revealed that she received a handwritten letter criticizing her postpartum body weight, detailing the lengths to which the sender went to deliver the hateful message.
Erdahl, co-host of "Good Morning Football," shared her experience in a TikTok video, responding to online insults by recounting the incident. She explained that a man took the time to handwrite a letter and mail it via USPS, stamped and addressed to her workplace.
"You think your social media insults can affect me?" Erdahl wrote in the video. "I had a man take his time to handwrite and USPS postage stamp a hate letter about my post-partum body weight to be delivered to me at work."
She concluded her message with: "Hate is a burden. Being unbothered is a gift." In the caption, she questioned the sender's current state: "I wonder how this guy is doing today?"
Erdahl and her husband, Sam Buckman, whom she married in 2017, have three daughters: Brooke, born in July 2019; Avery, born in 2021; and Nora James, born in March 2024. The birth of Nora James involved an emergency C-section due to a prolapsed umbilical cord around the baby's neck.
Previously, Erdahl took a leave from "Good Morning Football" in March due to a family health crisis. She later revealed that her father had passed away earlier in the year after a three-month battle with pancreatic cancer, having been diagnosed shortly after the Super Bowl. She returned to television in mid-March, expressing gratitude to the NFL for allowing her time off.
