Charissa Thompson has a talent for energizing her audience.
This week, Charissa Thompson—the host of “Thursday Night Football” on Fox Sports and Amazon Prime Video—went viral on Instagram by sharing a cute picture.
In the photo, she was spotted with her beau on a beach day during an amazing sunset.
Thompson was spotted sporting a white Chicago Blackhawks Clark Griswold road jersey along with some stylish shoes. We can only presume that Thompson was at the pier, a well-liked tourist destination, as she geotagged her location as Santa Monica, California.
Thompson is a well-known sportswriter who was previously employed by ESPN. He presently hosts Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime.
“No coach is gonna get mad if I say, ‘Hey, we need to stop hurting ourselves, we need to be better on third down, we need to stop turning the ball over and do a better job of getting off the field,’” she added. “Like, they’re not gonna correct me on that. I’m like it’s fine, I’ll just make up the report.”
When the former sideline reporter said she “would make up the report sometimes because, A, the coach wouldn’t come out at halftime or it was too late and I was like, I didn’t want to screw up the report, so I was like, “I’m just going to make this up,”” she was received with fury earlier in the year.
She expressed regret for using “the wrong words” but made it clear that she never made any false accusations against a player or coach.
Fortunately for her, the heat subsided and the situation turned out OK.
