| Charissa Thompson admits to completely making up NFL sideline reports |
| 2023-11-17 |
| By Brandon Contes [AwfulAnnouncing] ‘Fake it till you make it’ might not be what they teach in journalism school, but Charissa Thompson has been forced to lean into the aphorism on live TV. Sideline reporters have a tough job, they’re tasked with getting insight from players and coaches who usually don’t want to offer up any information. Thompson, however, has a trick for sideline reporters. If the coach isn’t giving you any useful information to repeat on a broadcast, just make something up. Earlier this week, Thompson joined Barstool’s Dan Katz and PFT Commenter on Pardon My Take, and during the interview, she explained how to give a sideline report when you have nothing to report. “I’ve said this before,” Thompson noted. “I haven’t been fired to saying it, but I’ll say it again. I would make up the report sometimes, because A, the coach wouldn’t come out at halftime, or it was too late and I didn’t want to screw up the report. So I was like, ‘I’m just gonna make this up.’ Read the rest at the link |

| #3 She ought to be ready for a network anchor slot with that type of training. Hopefully, she just slathered some platitudes onto some cliches and no one would know the better. Maybe should could be a press secretary. |

| #1 What is the NFL and why should I care? From what I've read, the sports world is mostly drama and no real substance anyway. |
