NFL

What she needs to do is be honest. "Sorry guys everyone just ran away and I'm not allowed to follow back to you guys in the booth!" I think it could be funny as a side story that evolves throughout the season ending in some mission impossible scenario where she is in the air vents trying to find out what the coach needs to fix going into the half.

“I just spoke to the coach walking into the tunnel and he told me to get the fuck away from him.”

They're never that insightful anyhow "Well I talked to the coaching staff and he told me they need to do more to score touchdowns and also to stop the other team from scoring touchdowns. That's their strategy going into the 2nd half so we will see if they can pull it off"

Well media people and honesty never did go well together

Sideline reporting doesn't need to happen. Adds no value.

What’s even more cute is that she thinks she out there actually to report vs being eye candy for the TV.

Who cares? Football games consist of 95% fluff and 5% gameplay.

Who cares?

There is nothing more useless and unnecessary than a sideline reporter.

I guess if there's one thing you're going to make up, sideline puffery is a good one to choose.

Straight to jail

"Charissa Thompson reports" tweets are gonna be gold this Sunday

Bill Belichick: The left gunner, look Charissa I think that is important for you to get right for your viewers, the left gunner on a line drive punt, if the receiving team is trying to return he has to release outside, that means if he's blocked he has to work through the block and try to stay ahead of the kicking team's players on the inside, of course that changes if the returner isn't right handed, but it is the responsibility of the punter to remember how the returner catches the ball and well, we allowed a return instead of a fair catch on the second punt for 5 yards, that put us back when they punted.

Charissa (after halftime): Coach Belichick told me they just have to execute.

Sideline reporters weee important before technology superseded their need. Now they are irrelevant

Who cares? She is blonde and hot. I can't remember a word she said.

To be fair, Nick Sirianni completely refuses to do half time interviews and takes whatever fine he gets for it

But yeah to self snitch about this is certainly a choice.

Eh whatever. American journalists already spend all day lying.. not surprised sideline reporters do it too lol

Love the jokes, but she should be fired. Period

Cannot Believe ZERO FROM THE MEDIA,

“No one will tell me shit, so what else am I to do?”

The only real purpose of a sideline reporter is injury updates. Nothing else they have ever done brings value to a broadcast.

lol, I have a feeling after doing enough of those interviews, you already know what the coach is going to say, and it's probably just saving the coach some headache

If the coach doesn't come out for the interview, maybe just skip it? I know, wild concept...

I don't care. I'd rather she not report on it at all 🤷‍♂️

So its just like the news

I used to know that if the reporter said the coach said 'look'that they're making it up

It's almost as if entire broadcast and studio teams add absolutely no value to the viewing experience.

Weird how we hold sports reporters to higher standards than those "Jounalists" who do the 24 hour new cycle.

Is it me, or does it feel like the article is more blaming the coaches than the sideline reporter, even though the sideline reporter is in the wrong for telling a lie to the audience at home? Please call me out if I’m missing something lol

And so begins the rise of AI sideline reporting

Just goes to show that nobody cares what they say or pays attention to it. They have no expertise or experience with football. The only reason they weaseled their way into these roles is because they are some tv execs girlfriend.

I just talked to Charissa Thompson and she is adamant that this is how reporting works

Get pucks deep.

it’s no different than any other kind of reporting. the times in between actual news is too wide for the amount of interest in the league so reports just get repackaged or peppered with speculation to pass the time.

and we all give them the clicks and views they need so they’ve got all the backing they really need
