First, it turns out Charissa Thompson, the NFL host and former sideline reporter, boasted on a dudebro podcast that she just made shit up while working the sidelines, but then very hurriedly backtracked and said she simply failed to attribute information properly. Whatever the case it does not appear she'll suffer any lasting consequences as a result, though she sure looks like persona non grata to her once-colleagues who still work as sideline/rinkside/courtside reporters. I'll admit I've always had a soft spot for Charissa since she got her big break working Rockies games back in the day and...yeah, obviously she's not lacking for looks. It was an egregiously stupid thing for her to say, true or not, and all so she could sound cute on a podcast. I'm not about to call for her head, but I'm a tad surprised this dustup blew over so quickly. Whatever you may think of these reporters and whether what they have to say is important, I do believe a great majority of them work their asses off for the few seconds of airtime they get, and often don't get to the lofty and lucrative positions that both Thompson and her bestie Erin Andrews now have.
Anyway, onto more important matters...we move on from sideline reporters making things up to sportswriters who are literally made up!
https://futurism.com/sports-illustrated ... ed-writersSports Illustrated got caught (and quite easily I might add) publishing articles by writers who don't actually exist. It wasn't hard to figure out that these "people" were just AI-generated bullshit, and when they got called out on it, they simply burned the evidence.
