Let me first clear up any misconceptions: Sam Buckman is not Hugh Jackman. Yes, the Deadpool and Wolverine movie debuted on July 26, but he’s not that Wolverine. Buckman did a little less violent work as a Wolverine: He was a kicker at the University of Michigan from 2006-2009.
When Did Jamie Erdahl and Sam Buckman Get Married?
Fast forward to 2014 and Buckman is dating a young lady named Jamie Erdahl; the two would get married a few years later, tying the knot in July 2017. The couple share three children together, all daughters: Brooke, Avery, and Nora.
Their most recent birth in March 2024 did not come quite as planned. The umbilical cord prolapsed and went around Nora’s neck, and Mama Bear went in for an emergency C-section.
On top of the immense gratitude to the medical professionals who got them through the situation, Erdahl thanked her husband, Sam: “To my husband who met my petrified tears with calm and strength despite his own terror.”
Buckman largely stays out of the public eye, keeping his social media accounts locked/private.
“I just love the show so much. I love the NFL,” Erdahl mentioned. “I feel like I barely just started in the two years that I was on the show, and there wasn’t going to be much that was going to stop me from staying in this capacity.”
When Did Erdahl Start on Good Morning Football?
Erdahl began co-hosting Good Morning Football in 2022, and this year’s iteration will have a new lineup and rotating guests. It’ll regularly feature NFL insiders Mike Garafolo, Tom Pelissero, and Ian Rapoport throughout the week.
In an interview with Deadline, Erdahl opened up about the camaraderie on the show and what she’s looking forward to with the GMFB makeover.

“You know what you love, but you don’t know yet the new things you’ll fall in love with about parts of the show,” Erdahl said.
“We don’t know what it’s going to look like, and I actually think what will be entertaining for people that know our show so well, that we do kind of crazy clunky things, is that we are going to grow together, literally in this new massive space that feels four times the size of our old studio.”
