Sideline reports are really stupid and pointless and I can’t wait until they’re over.

So we just watch a reality tv show?

I remember when Jim Rome confessed on air to making up traffic reports to spice things up on the air, and impress his boss.

I watch with the sound down, so as long as she stays hot, I’ll allow it.

So, this is a job that anyone with any reporting skills could do- male, female, young, old. The thing the sideline hottie reporters HATE to talk about then, is, if any reporter of any age can do it…why are 95 percent of them women under the age of 30 with the remaining 5 percent women who have hung around long enough to be legacies of sorts? (Erin Andrews, Pam Oliver, etc).

And a random outlier in Evan Washburn just for a little diversity.

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

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

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

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

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

Who cares?

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

Sideline reporters weee important before technology superseded their need.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

Straight to jail

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.

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

Cannot Believe ZERO FROM THE MEDIA,

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

Love the jokes, but she should be fired. Period

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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"

Get pucks deep.

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