Can We Retire the Postgame Interview?
1-liner, Media Gossip/Musings November 3rd. 2008, 1:15pmAthletes Say the Blandest Things: “Every play has been chewed over, or will be chewed over, and the athlete back in the locker room knows that. He knows that his remarks will likely be ignored, unless of course he should slip up and say something colorful. It is therefore in his interest to say nothing at all: ‘We came together as a team. . . . ‘” (Play Magazine)

almost every sideline/locker room interview is nothing but a waste of time. it’s just one sports cliche after another. it is what it is, I guess.

As for the sideline reporters, it’s their job. They need to take it one day at a time and realize that those players put their pants on one leg at a time like everyone else.

it’d garner a lot more interest if the athletes pulled an LBJ (lyndon b. johnson, not lebron) and gave those banal quotes while taking a dump.
