NFL in-game sideline interviews, just stop already…

The stupidest thing during an NFL broadcast is the sideline interview with the head coach. I realize that that is saying a lot too because I also listen to the booth announcers. There is never, ever any ground breaking reporting going on during the sideline interview. They either ask the most obvious questions that have answers that are clear even to the most rookie of football watchers, or questions that are never going to be answered directly or remotely truthfully. Body language from the coach clearly reads that they doesn’t like their time being wasted, as does the total non answer they usually give. Just leave this type of interview to baseball. The pace of the game for baseball is much better suited for this and baseball managers are often very entertaining as they tend to have a lot more free time on their hands to spin a yarn.
