NFL Network's Bridget Condon takes dig at ex-boyfriend in epic post: ‘This guy I dated told me...’
In a viral post on X, Bridget Condon spoke about how a former boyfriend advised her to quit her job. But she persevered to achieve fame.
NFL Network reporter Bridget Condon stepped into the spotlight herself, rather than shining it on others for once, on Thanksgiving. Condon took a well-aimed swipe at an ex-boyfriend. She posted a picture of herself with NFL legend Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson.
Along with the photograph, she wrote: “When I was coming up in this industry, I was making pennies and this guy I dated told me to quit and come live with him cause I'd never make it. He was a huge Ochocinco fan. I hope he's having a nice Thanksgiving!”

Excessive workload of NFL reporters
While no one doubts the hard work put into their efforts by the players themselves, people often forget that those on the sidelines bringing the game to a large audience are also putting in a big effort.
This issue was brought into focus by Fox Sports’ Erin Andrews earlier this week, who highlighted the type of sacrifice sports broadcasters make, as per the Daily Mail.
“This is what one of my first professors said. If you don’t want to make $40,000 in your first job, get out. 'If you don’t want to be told you need a nose job, get out. If you don’t want to be divorced, get out. If you don’t want to work holidays, get out. And I don’t say it like that, but I say you got to love what you do because I miss all holidays. I didn’t get married until I was in my 40s,” he said on the Calm Down podcast.
