Mr. WEO

hear me out

Another woman journalist, commenting on this woman journalist has already conceded that NFL women journalists have been relegated to being "eye candy" i.e. "sideline reporters". All Clarissa Thompson has done is point out how phony this all is. A token female prop tasked with eliciting inane BS form NFL HC's during games occasionally does not want to be bothered by the network's nod to the ladies who may be watching and refuses to talk, so the sideline reporter simply fills in the blanks on the HC's interview script. again, good for her. This is all just network cynicism being exposed. Give these women something real to do as reporters or spare us all this goofy display.

Steelers D has scored 2 TDs....

lol lucky?

rightly so

Bengals fans had to put up with 16 years of Marvin Lewis futility. Bad example.

did the fire her the last time she admitted this before today? Sideline reporters are almost always women in the NFL--it's the networks very cynical display to show "look, we have women reporters--and they are doing vital things!" They are safe....

vulnerable to...what? being fired for getting actual useless quotes from coaches who never want to talk to them---and never ever offer any useful insight? I don't understand what a sideline person would be worried about. It's not like she broke a fake story--she made up the quotes these guys give her 100% of the time. where's the harm? Sideline reporters should worry that network execs will wake up one day and ask: "why are we paying these people to do this?"

this type of response never made sense--it strangely assumes a Defender would be holding back in some way on a QB. Why wouldn't any defender want to hurt a QB's hand or arm on every single play---they certainly have "the opportunity"? your answer isn't plausible.

odd, perhaps. of little consequence.

there goes another 200 million...

I know longer believe HC's ask for 110% or 1/11th from each player. It was all made up!!!

terrible 37 yard pickup right there....

So coaches don't really say "we have to get off the field on D", and "we just gotta stop hurting ourselves with dumb penalties"?? Another massive non-story involving what is always the dumbest and least useful part of any football broadcast--the sideline interview of the losing team at the half. why are people worked up over this? At least this reporter is being honest: "coach wouldn't talk so I filled in his dumb bromides and cliches for my spot" good for her...

he was 11-17 and a TD before he went out. If a guy misses zero practice reps and he's ready to go at game time, he's not injured any more than every guy is at this point in the season. if they listed him after last weeks game as "injured" and then said later in the week he was a definite start, 100% ready to go, few bets would be altered.

this is such a non-issue

it was all just a clever ploy to trick the Ravens into not preparing for Jake Browning?

when would they have put him on the injury report--during the game?

None of that is pertinent to the thread topic or my response--whcih is that Pegula canned the guy a few weeks after telling the world that he would not. Whether the HC or the GM was hired by the owner first has nothing to do with the owner's decision to fire a HC, obviously. What you said doesn't make sense. Deciding where to drill for fuel has many more factors to consider (location, yield vs cost, opposition, safety measures....you get the idea). Firing a coach is pretty easy.

lol you're still holding on to that one. you take what you can get I guess.

what’s that got to do with Pegula “having what it takes” to fire McD?

Pegula hired the GM. What’s your point?

So….Dorsey had to go? That was covered in many threads already

how

wait a minute...wuuuuuuT??!!
