    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.

    It’s almost as though you could completely eliminate sideline reports/reporters, and nobody would notice. Let’s try that

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

    Admittedly without reading through all several hundred comments… Didn’t someone literally admit to this same thing like a year or two ago?

    If you’re going to make it up? Go all in on it:

    “When asked about the Giants’ struggles on offense in the first half and whether he will be making any adjustments, Coach Daboll quoted Thucydides, saying “The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it.” He then turned away from me with a blank expression on his face and walked out towards the field, alone. Back to you…”

    I mean I figured this was the case. Same with Collinsworth. People on reddit like to hate on him because he is a hype man for the star players (like the NFL wouldn’t want that) but the thing that really sticks out to me about him is his made up anecdotes. Some 3rd stringer comes in and makes a play, and all of a sudden that just so happens to be the guy Collinsworth had a 30 minute pregame conversation with. “Now here’s a guy who said gee willikers Chris, we have to give it our all for 4 quarters!”

    There’s entertainment value in getting the players and coaches on the mic mid game. Mostly doesn’t matter what they say. Just interesting to see an on-field conversation.

    On the one hand this is kinda funny but on the other it is pretty dishonest. I know that sideline reporters aren’t expected to be at the pinnacle of journalistic integrity but to work for a major network and to say this with no shame doesn’t seem quite right.
