The NFL is introducing a new in-game requirement starting from the upcoming season.
According to some reports I read this morning, the league has instructed all teams that - from now on - broadcast partners will require head coaches to be interviewed by sideline reporters during both the first and second halves of games.
Before now, we would see coaches interviewed right at the point of half-time or just before the second-half kick off.
Now we're going to see the pointless question and answer sessions through the game.
I noticed they did this during the XFL relaunch and thought it was an interesting thing to do. At first. It then became monotonous. It'll be worse for the NFL because the coaches never say anything other than the obvious.
Plus - this idea is a distraction to the job they're meant to be doing. I'm okay with how they usually do it, with before and after half-time, but - even then, and as I've already pointed out, we aren't given anything but what a head coach would be expected to say depending on the situation his team finds itself in.
