Kay Adams’ new job rumors mount after Good Morning Football fans react to her replacement Jamie Erdahl
RUMORS surrounding sportscaster Kay Adams’ next landing spot have mounted following her departure from Good Morning Football.
Adams‘ name has reportedly been linked to an upcoming “SportsCenter-style” TV show, which is expected to be launched by the sports gambling company FanDuel in September.
According to Legal Sports Report, a website that covers the sports gambling businesses, FanDuel is “aiming” to turn the TVG horse racing network their parent company Flutter owns into FanDuel TV – a 24-hour content network featuring studio programming and live sports.
The outlet reports, citing internal documents, that FanDuel intends to rebrand the network by September, in time for football season.
There are also “clear indications” that there are plans for Adams to host a “SportsCenter-style” show in the 7am hour, Legal Sports Report claims.
“FanDuel is aiming to rebrand its TVG racing channel to FanDuel TV as part of a plan to create the first ‘watch and wager’ TV network in the US, including a potential big-name acquisition in former NFL Network host Kay Adams,” the report stated, per the outlet.

Adams left the NFL Networks Good Morning Football in May to pursue other ventures, although the host revealed she was uncertain of her next move.
The longtime host expressed her gratitude to staff and viewers during her final segment on May 13, saying she was just “a pile of love and appreciation.”
“I am so blown away by the love, like overwhelmed, so thank you so much. So you see, it’s not four people who love football it was never that. It was perfect conflation of magic,” Adams said as her voice began to crack.
“So, thank you to every person that’s ever touched this show or chosen to spend time with us, and I’m just really grateful.”
