Theyre not gonna correct me on that. So Im like, its fine, Ill just make up the report," Thompson concluded.When she mentioned she had said Preston Brown Jersey this before, Thompson was referencing a conversation she had with sideline reporter Erin Andrews in 2022 on their podcast, "Calm Down with Erin and Chari sa."I was like oh coach what adjustments are you gonna make at halftime?

I take my job very seriously, I hold myself accountable for all I say, I build trust with coaches and never make something up. I know my fellow reporters do the same. Tracy Wolfson (@tracywolfson) THE privilege of a sideline role is being the 1 person in the entire world who has the opportunity to ask coaches whats happening in that moment. I cant expre s the amount of time it takes to build that trust. Devastated w/the texts Im getting asking if this is ok. No. Never. Laura Okmin (@LauraOkmin) Young reporters: This is not normal or ethical. Coaches and players trust us with sensitive information, and if they know that youre dishonest and dont take your role seriously, youve lost all trust and credibility. Molly McGrath (@MollyAMcGrath) I have never and would never Sam Hubbard Jersey make up quotes from a coach for camera time. If your goal is to get on tv, dont be a sideline reporter.Coaches/teams build trust with our broadcast crews, and that is so easily torn down by these kind of stunts. Kris Budden (@KrisBudden)
