The football community is praying for ‘Good Morning Football’ host Jamie Erdahl.

Erdahl, who replaced Kay Adams on the show in 2022, is a former CBS sideline reporter. She is considered a fan favorite, having slotted in perfectly following Adams’ departure. 

The 37-year-old said she would be taking a hiatus back in March. She did not go into detail but disclosed she was dealing with an “extremely tragic health situation.”

As it turns out, Jamie’s father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer shortly after the Super Bowl. She announced his unfortunate passing on Thursday.

“3 days after the Super Bowl, my Dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Now, he’s gone,” Erdahl wrote in a tweet, sharing a photo of them together in Vikings colors.

 “I loved him with my whole heart. He was so bright, social, kind, inclusive, generous, wise. I watched him make everyone’s world better. He made mine great,” she continued. “I’ll love you forever, Dad. SKOL.”

Erdahl’s colleagues and other members of the media are offering her support online, as are fans. 

“So sorry, Jamie. Know it was hard for you and your family. Wishing you all comfort. My condolences,” Mike Garafolo wrote in the comments.

“Prayers to you and your family, Jamie🙏,” Tom Pelissero shared.

“I took this photo. We sat there for ten minutes and he spoke about how cool this was to be here with you in Los Angels, with his daughter… a proud dad through and through,” Joe DiBenedetto wrote.

“It’s so hard. I’m so sorry for your loss. 💔🙏💕,” another comment read.

Our thoughts are with Jamie and her family as they go through this difficult time.
