This has felt obvious for years. The sideline reporter at the game is completely useless.

The best is when a player is laying on the field grabbing his knee, writhing in pain and they help him off. Then later in the game they go to the sideline reporter who tells us he is "questionable to return with a knee injury" no shit haha

“I’ve said this before, so I haven’t been fired for saying it, but I’ll say it again. I would make up the report sometimes,” Thompson said in a recent interview on “Pardon My Take,” “because, A, the coach wouldn’t come out at halftime, or it was too late and … I didn’t want to screw up the report, so I was like, ‘I’m just going to make this up.’”

Thompson, 41, added that she assumed that “no coach is going to get mad” if she misled viewers into thinking they had simply voiced some well-worn clichés, such as, “Hey, we need to stop hurting ourselves, we need to be better on third down, we need to stop turning the ball over and do a better job of getting off the field.”

Can anyone tell me of any good sideline reporter ever worth listening to? The only useful information would be injury status which can be communicated to the broadcast booth without a stupid sideline reporter.

Our eyes. It’s the politically correct way that we can admire them. Not quite as good as the old Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader days.

Tracy Wolfson begs to differ.
