NFL Network host Jamie Erdahl has responded to body-shaming comments by recalling a handwritten letter that she says a man mailed to her workplace criticising her postpartum weight. In a TikTok video posted on Saturday, 7 November 2026, the Good Morning Football co-host contrasted insults on social media with the effort someone had taken to send her criticism through the post.
Erdahl Describes Letter Sent to Her Workplace
Erdahl shared the account in a video showing her sitting in a car, eating Doritos, and looking at the camera. Text over the footage asked whether online critics thought their comments could affect her after she had received a letter about her weight following childbirth.
'You think your social media insults can affect me?' Erdahl wrote. She described a man taking the time to handwrite a letter, attach U.S. Postal Service postage, and send it to her workplace to criticise her postpartum body weight. She did not identify the sender or say when she received the letter.
She concluded the message with: 'Hate is a burden. Being unbothered is a gift.' In the accompanying caption, Erdahl wondered how the man who wrote the letter was doing. She also included a postpartum hashtag. Her comments drew supportive responses from viewers, with some praising Erdahl's reaction to the criticism.
The video did not reproduce the letter or disclose its full wording. Erdahl did not suggest that the sender worked for the NFL, her television programme, or another public organisation. She also did not describe any investigation or action taken by her employer.
A Mother of Three and an NFL Network Host
Erdahl is the mother of three daughters. Her youngest, Nora James, was born in March 2024. Her TikTok post referred to criticism of her appearance after childbirth, rather than any complaint about her work as a sports broadcaster.
She joined Good Morning Football in July 2022, succeeding Kay Adams on the NFL Network morning show. Before that, she worked at CBS Sports, which she joined in 2014. Her assignments there included college football and basketball coverage, alongside reporting from the sidelines.
The NFL Network programme features news and discussion about American football, with its hosts regularly appearing on television and social media. Erdahl's latest video addressed a personal experience outside her on-air reporting. The New York Post reported on the TikTok post on 10 November 2026, three days after its publication.
Erdahl Previously Shared Her Father's Death
Erdahl has also spoken publicly about a separate family loss. In a social media tribute published on 28 May 2026, she revealed that her father had died of pancreatic cancer approximately three months after his diagnosis. She said he had been diagnosed three days after the 2026 Super Bowl, placing the diagnosis in February rather than his death.
Earlier, on 11 March, Erdahl explained that she had stepped away from Good Morning Football because of a serious health situation involving an immediate family member. At the time, she said she expected to return on 16 March. Her subsequent tribute identified her father as the family member who had been ill.
