Jimmy Garoppolo tells Erin Andrews being 8-0 ‘feels great, baby’

“It feels great, baby,” Garoppolo said with a big grin before quickly changing the subject and awkwardly adding, “Happy Halloween.”

Andrews, whose husband is two-time Stanley Cup champion Jarret Stoll, laughed and wished him a happy Halloween back before the interview ended and a still-smiling Garoppolo walked away.

Garoppolo completed 28 of 37 passes for 317 yards and four touchdowns to keep the 49ers unbeaten at the midway point of the season. The former Patriot sounded more like Rob Gronkowski instead of his mentor, Tom Brady, who only makes sure he says hi to his mom in every on-field postgame interview.

Jimmy Garoppolo made enough plays during last night's game against Arizona to preserve San Francisco's perfect record. He was understandably all smiles during a postgame interview with Fox's Erin Andrews. Andrews seemed to enjoy it too.

And we love to see pleasant interactions between two professionals, don't we, folks?

Usually I have a pretty good Spidey sense for how these things are going to play out in the media ecosystem. But this one? It's a real mystery.

Will Garoppolo be criticized for calling a female reporter "babe" or will it largely be laughed off like it was when Rob Gronkowski did similar? Will there be a glut of thinkpieces asking how the reaction and perception would be different had, say, Lamar Jackson done the same thing? Maaaaaybe.

It's all very exciting and definitely a worthwhile discussion for someone who is very much not me to have.
