This is exactly right. None of these talking heads "experts" either on tv or the radio really have their pulse on each team. They simply look
at stats, "superstar" positions, focus on 1 or 2 players. Very lazy journalism. Watched a little on NFL Network with 3 stooges giving their
opinion on this game. Talking about JJM alter ego with a smirk, Jackson and Henry yadda yadda. Then Jim & Pat on Moving the Chains said
up next Ravens/Vikings. Only conversation was about the Ravens. Hell in their opinion the Vikings shouldn't even turn up. Then a guy from
SD called in that's a Vikes fan called in. He must have been on here (maybe Sticky or MB was calling from San Diego ) but just said everything
we talk about and gave excellent facts. Jim and Pat had nothing. They just listened and heard some facts.

lol. The thing that's annoying today with sports talk radio/youtube/tv is its all about strong takes or being completely dismissive on purpose so they can come back the next week, admit they were wrong and then wash, rinse and repeat. Its mostly contrived. Talk about Dallas and the New York teams, that's Job 1 no matter how the team is doing. Oh and yell a lot....that seems to be the script for TV. They always have them standing up, pointing at screens, talking over each other, etc. Unwatchable. Other than some parts of GMFB, the NFL Network is the worst. I think dinosaur Greg Cosell still thinks JJ has a weak arm....why Cowherd gives this turd a venue is beyond me.
But to your point: very VERY few talking heads have the pulse of any team....especially fly over country teams.
