    O yes, I’m sure we all love sideline reporting, where they’ve turned stating the obvious as if it’s insightful into performance art.

    I knew something was fishy when sideline reports from BB were more informative than any of his post game press conferences.

    That’s too funny but also shows how meaningless they are.

    “Coach you’re 2-7 on 3rd down heading into halftime what do you need to do better”

    Why? Why are these asked and taking up the coaches time.

    She said this on Pardon My Take and I was so surprised she admitted it. Apparently her bosses already knows about this and she no longer does any sideline reporting so it doesn’t matter anymore. She didn’t want to do it anymore anyway.

    Doesn’t matter much anyways. Coach speak to sideline reporters is mostly useless. Injury reports and other sideline occurrences are the only thing that is meaningful.

    It’s not just sideline reporters. All those little anecdotes and insights into players minds and motivations that Collinsworth busts out are almost certainly bullshit.

    Pro sports has become professional wrestling, just without a predetermined outcome (maybe). The modern sports media’s obsession with “storylines” is killing the way the game is covered.

      All I care about is understanding the play that was just ran. I really have no interest in the fact that Joe Blow the left tackle came from a rough neighborhood and his entire family is at the game tonight wearing matching tshirts and that he’s wearing special sneakers that were painted by some special interest group with a random bible verse reference on them.

      And I detest Collinsworth.

    She should be fucking fired lmfao. What a complete joke. A disgrace to the profession of sports commentary and interviewing in general.
