Patrick emailed me Charissa Thompson’s name and a picture (below) of this very fine looking Fox Sports Net and Big Ten Network reporter. Note: She is NOT to be confused with a blonde model of the same name, although there have been some confusion as the two, well, kinda looks alike, too. Here’s a bio on the REAL Charissa Thompson from FOX Sports on MSN:

Based in Los Angeles, Thompson serves as a correspondent for BEST DAMN SPORTS SHOW PERIOD. Her quick wit made her an instant hit with the BDSSP crew and is a daily presence on the program. Thompson moderates BDSSP’s college football debates, works as a BDSSP correspondent for major sporting events and has served as a reporter on FSN’s 2007 MLB All-Star Game Red Carpet Show,

She also works for the BIG TEN NETWORK as a sideline reporter for the Saturday game of the week.

Thompson’s versatility has been on display since her first day at FSN. She co-hosts the FSN BASEBALL REPORT, serves as a reporter for FSN’s BCS SHOW and FSN BCS BREAKDOWN, contributes special web segments for foxsports.com and hosted FSN’s original rodeo competition, TOUGHEST COWBOY.

Thompson made her first on-air appearance for FSN on regional affiliate FSN Rocky Mountain. As a reporter for a half-hour magazine show centered on the Colorado Rockies, ROCKIES ALL-ACCESS, Thompson earned the respect of both her bosses and Rockies players with her researched, nuanced questions and comfortable delivery. Her success on that program led to her working Rockies games as the in-stadium reporter, doing live updates and interviews throughout the game.
