NFL sideline reporter Charissa Thompson has admitted that she often finds herself ill-equipped for cold games because she prioritises glamorous outfits over practicality. The Fox Sports and Amazon Prime host revealed her struggles on the 'Calm Down' podcast with Erin Andrews.
Thompson, who covered the Black Friday game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Chicago Bears at Lincoln Financial Field, was seen wrapped up in a blue suit, gloves and scarf. She later posted on Instagram: 'Black Friday Football ….. was a windy and chilly one !!'
Speaking on the podcast, Thompson said: 'I am ill equipped for these cold games. I try to be all cute and end up freezing my a** off at these games. I should take a page out of my girl's [Andrews] book over here, who is like the Queen of the Cold, and you know how to do it, with a heated vest and all of the stuff.'
Andrews disagreed, joking that she looks like Olaf from Frozen or Randy from 'A Christmas Story', while Thompson looks 'like an F1 wife' or 'a super European model'.
In October, Thompson suffered a significant health scare during a live broadcast but refused to stop working. On her podcast, she explained: 'I dreamed of having this job and now two decades later I'm still lucky to have it and I never take it for granted, even if I'm tired, even if it's this, or that.'
