It happens, either way. You should watch the clip; it's only like 30 seconds. It for sure wasn't a gotcha -- she clearly didn't realize, or didn't remember, the Lions play in a dome. It came across as a serious question with her lamenting the frigid weather up there (and Tampa as a franchise historically being a dogcrap team in cold weather). Bowles had some fun at her expense, saying in his low-key tone, "You realize we play indoors, right? They got a dome," and that the only time they'll be outside is when they get off the bus into the stadium so yeah they should be fine braving the elements up there. Lmao, good for him. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Island Leprechaun Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I'm not a reporter or related to one and this is truly laughable ignorance on the part of the media person asking the question, however, I think it's pretty ridiculous to use this as an example of the failure of all journalism. It would be akin to saying all quarterbacks are incompetent boobs because of Sanchez's butt fumble. There are some remarkable journalists out there -- smart, literate, courageous, even heroic -- as there are innumerable hacks and partisan blowhards. So I would suggest rather than vastly over-generalizing due to confirmation bias we be a bit more nuanced. Asking a lot, I know, but figure it should be said.

The media is/has ruining everything. All they care about is ruing people’s personal lives instead of covering the sport they play. It all started with the guy who outed ARod and has just got worse ever since. Media is a Cancer no cure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local stations across the country have been cutting jobs and talent for a while now and hiring folks greener and greener by the day. People have to wear a lot of hats and this reporter probably just got done covering a shooting or a house fire and got turned for this. Local news outlets are vastly underrated and get lumped into the “msm” stuff when most local broadcasts are about as straight down the middle as you get. But, you know, get your talking points in. 4 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I knew the Lions played in a dome when I was 8. It’s not much to ask to have a general idea of what you are asking a professional football coach in a televised press conference.
