I agree.  His response and his delivery of the response sucked.  He’s probably an a-hole.  Gregg Williams 2.0?  
 

She could’ve asked the question with a not so derogatory tone and facial expression and he took extreme exception to that.  When I heard her ask the question the way she did, I cringed in real time.  Then cringed even harder with his reaction.

 

She’s a sideline reporter who, given she was assigned the Bears/Raiders game, is probably still learning her craft and trying to climb her way up the ladder.  Maybe she was a little nervous.  Maybe she will get better at delivery.  She probably had the question given to her by a producer and did not ad lib it.  
 

He is at the top of his profession but new so he is probably on a bit of a learning curve himself.  If he’s not qualified to avoid mocking a four foot nine female reporter and so weak that he needs  to double down by getting in her face…….he’s got a douche bag problem that is not ever going to be solved regardless of his job.

 

Your comparison is apples and Buicks.

A snarky question from a reporter isn't a reason to be physically imposing to a female to the extent that I don't find her question, or the tone in which it was asked even worth mentioning.

 

This is a Ben Johnson problem. Full stop.

 

There's no excuse for it.

What comparison?  lol, I agree with pretty much all of that.  His situation is much worse.  He’s a douche and probably won’t be changing anytime soon. 
 

she may have been a nervous reporter that struggled with her delivery. She may added some pepper to her question to see if she’d get a response.  Idk- either way, Ben Johnson seems to suck and I’m starting to think that we did right to keep McDermott and not hire him. Bad vibes for sure

Treat other people like dog crap, talk down to them, make them feel small and that you always have to be smarter than them.  

 

Doesn't work so well in the end I think he will find out.

 

 

 

I saw that live and instantly lost respect for the man. She is doing her job and asked one tiny bit tough question and this dude couldn't control his snark! 

His team lucked into a win yesterday but I will hope his HC career crashes and burns

Seemed like a pretty normal "softball" question based on the interviews I have seen.

His reaction sucked….but the reporter was baiting him in a big way.  She got what she was hoping for but both look bad imo.  

She asked a fluff question.. not a great one. Having said that he’s an absolute ass 🎩!! Show some EQ you lead a huge entity that represents Chicago. Take the high road when you can. Be like McD on these , Casper milk toast. I would not want this guy as the face of my franchise. His clock management was once again dysfunctional. Next time she should ask “ Your clock mgmt is once again in question here at the half, how can you suck less at that? “ 😂

Maybe reporters need to stop saying dumb crap? 

 

I get the angry stare makes him look rude, but c'mon... Professionalism is a two way street. 

People liked it when Popovich mocked dumb comments from the NBA media, but now this is a problem because the sideline reporter is a woman.

 

And yes, he needs to handle himself better, but people would've laughed if the reporter was a dude.

Yes it was not delivered well… again Little Ben appears sensitive .. he doesn’t have the talent he had in Detroit and he’s shocked he’s not able to overcome it.. realizing he’s still brilliant of course

Popovich was a bully and spent great amounts of time lecturing the world on his political views .. like BB ( being a jerk) that era has passed. Reporters do need to ask better questions. The halftime?s are just a waste of time. That’s the most anyone has noticed 😂

He does seem like a jerk but I really don't see anything wrong in this clip. It was kind of a dumb comment by the reporter and he was obviously caught off guard but I don't really see how he reacted badly to it.

If we’re averaging 34 PPG, are there still people saying Pegula should have fired McD and hired BJ to make our team better?

 

Anyone?

 

Bueller?

My only issue with this it would mean Joe Brady leaving. 

 

I think McDermott is a great human being, but I don't have any faith in him getting this defense right. 

 

And since the defense is his side of the ball, the only way that's changing is if McDermott is no longer the HC.

Caleb Williams ain’t it. The Raiders and particularly Geno Smith literally tried to give them the football game over and over and he couldn’t take advantage of it. They won though in the end and again that’s what matters but if it wasn’t for the Titans I’d argue the Raiders are the worst team in the NFL right now 

Jets are fighting with TN for that spot!
