Updated with Thompson apology: Fox Sports’ NFL Kickoff host Charissa Thompson is apologizing following an outcry of criticism from her peers after admitting that she “would make up” sideline reports at games. In an Instagram story, Charissa said she wanted to “address the elephant in the room.”
“Working in media I understand how important words are and I chose the wrong words to describe the situation,” she said, adding “I’m sorry. I have never lied about anything or been unethical during my time as a sports broadcaster.”
She clarified that “in the absence of a coach providing any information,” she would use information she had gathered and saw during the first half to create her report. “For example if a team was 0 for 7 on 3rd down, that would clearly be an area they needed to improve on in the second half. In these instances I never attributed anything I...

Charissa Thompson is responding to the controversy sparked by her appearance on a podcast this week.
In an Instagram story, Thompson said she needed to “address the elephant in the room” and that she has “a responsibility to myself and my employers to clarify what is being reported.”
Thompson’s comments on the Pardon My Take podcast went viral, and sparked backlash from other sports journalists.
“I’ve said this before, so I haven’t been fired for saying it, but I’ll say it again. I would make up the report sometimes,” Thompson said on the podcast, adding that on occasion “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 going to make this up.’”

It seems Travis Kelce has Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson to thank for somewhat kickstarting his rumoured romance with Taylor Swift.
Back on Aug. 3, exactly one week after Kelce revealed he tried and failed to give Swift his number, the Fox Sports commentators begged the popstar to give Kelce a chance, promising that Swift wouldn’t regret it.
Now, two months later — after Swift cheered on Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs two weekends in a row — Thompson is looking back on their public plea.
“Taylor, I don’t know what you’re doing in your life right now besides rocking the world. Please, try our friend Travis. He is fantastic,” Andrews said during an Aug. 3rd recorded episode of the duo’s “Calm Down with Erin and Charissa” podcast. “I know we’re not the best of friends, we’re not even friends, but I consider you one. Take us up on this.
