NFL Reporter Trolls Ex-Boyfriend With Help of Former NFL Star
Word to the wise, always have your girl's back. That's the tough lesson one guy learned the hard way years later.
NFL Network sideline reporter Bridget Condon drew the Thanksgiving Day assignment to cover the Cincinnati Bengals-Baltimore Ravens game at M&T Stadium in Baltimore. Condon's a Swiss Army Knife of sorts for the network, doing work for its broadcast unit, website, and app.
Ahead of the AFC North showdown, Condon offered critical updates, including Bengals quarterback Joe Burrough's state of mind in his return following a toe injury that sidelined him for nine games.
Joe Burrow told me pregame he has a steel plate in his left cleat but it's a little tight causing some numbness so he plans to switch into sneakers on the sideline between drives. pic.twitter.com/RxqdnwBAeF

At some point on Thursday, Condon took to social media to remind an ex-boyfriend who didn't have faith in her and her career, and she got an assist from none other than Chad Ochocinco.
"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," she tweeted. "He was a huge Ochocinco fan. I hope he's having a nice Thanksgiving!

The Boston native has had her share of doubters and haters throughout her career. Just a few days ago, Condon took to Instagram to offer some sage advice.
"In your 20s there will be a guy who tells you you only got hired because of the way you look," she wrote in a caption to video of her in action. "It’s very important that you don’t listen to him."
And to the dude who said she would never make it: she made it.
