The Eye-Cracking Direct Hit by Charissa Thompson

Charissa Thompson began her career on ESPN in the early 2000s, though she may likely earn even more on Fox Sports. She eventually rose through the ranks to partner with Marcellus Wiley as co-host of SportsNation, a position she held until her departure from the network in 2013. But Thompson gave us one of the greatest news anchor blunders ever before she went!

A behind-the-scenes video of Thompson getting hit in the eye with a paper ball was then shown on SportsNation. And judging by the expression on her face, it must have stung a little.
