Anyone see / hear this?

Bucs coach Tod Bowles was asked by a reporter if they were going to do anything to ”prepare for the weather” against Detroit.

He calmly informed her “they play indoors”

I'm kinda rooting for Baker and the Bucs on the NFC side. 

And who'd have thunk it? Two North teams still alive in Divisional week.

Lol sounds like the typical hiring someone to check a box instead of on qualifications, experience and merit. Standard for this country anymore

Ya get what you pay for and most reporters are lucky to get minimum wage.  This reporter didn't even earn that :)

And some people wonder why coaches/players get so upset with the media sometimes. They get asked some really STUPID questions.

I was always waiting for Belicheat or even Zim to look at a reporter and say  "you are stupid,  get out!"

Looking for reporter who hit the genetic lottery. No brains, knowledge, or experience required.

Speaking of media dipshits, the kings are usually ex-players. See below:

Lol reminds me of Torry Holt. Has anybody listened to him on NFL Radio? He gets every players name wrong and his overall pronunciation skills are absolutely brutal.

Bowles handled an embarrassingly dumb question like a gentleman. We all do stupid shit at times. This poor reporter did it in front of a national audience. I'm just happy that when I do stupid shit it's not in front of the whole world.
