Terry Bradshaw’s head, a tractor, Jennifer Lopez, the Super Bowl, Erin Andrews’ reading abilities under pressure …
“Things that helped Aaron Rodgers win on ‘The $100,000 Pyramid’?”
Ding!
The Green Bay Packers quarterback continued his streak of acing TV game shows by helping win $100,000 for contestant Brooke Snell of California on the ABC game show that pitted him against FOX Sports reporter and "Dancing with the Stars" co-host Erin Andrews.
Andrews did a lot of trash talking but ultimately couldn’t put the money where her mouth was when it came to the word-association game.
“First of all, I was raised a Green Bay Packers fan. I will say this may be the first time my dad wants to see Aaron Rodgers go down, so that’s nice,” Andrews said during introductions.

She described Rodgers as “very, very competitive,” “very confident” and one of her favorite athletes to deal with as a reporter and then said, “I’m going to crush you.”
She pulled out Rodgers’ signature championship belt move after winning the first round of categories 18 to 17 and later taunted Rodgers with, “We saw the Atlanta game” – a reference to this year's NFC championship game in which the Packers lost to the Falcons 44-21.
After coming up short with contestant Curtis Reed from New York in the first half of the show, Rodgers was a formidable opponent when paired with Snell on categories like “Things You Might See on a Farm” in the second half.
Andrews stumbled by misreading “tambourine” as “trampoline,” repeatedly giving the clue, “You jump on this.”
“Read the word, Erin,” host Michael Strahan prompted.
After winning 14 to 13, Rodgers and Snell made fast work in the winners’ circle, where the categories included “Dinosaurs,” “What A Baby Might Say,” “People in a Courtroom,” “Things on a Pool Table,” “Famous Jennifers” and “People Who Are Bald.”
Both Rodgers and Andrews, who, according to People, married Jarret Stoll on Saturday, tweeted after the episode aired:
