Maddy is somebody's daughter and may be an excellent human being so I'm reluctant to criticize.

 

I'd rather watch more insightful content, but I don't blame her for doing what her employers pay her to do.

I will never understand the hate here for her.  I mean I get it, it doesn’t take long to learn the temperature of this place but even then the hate for her is ridiculous.

Why is it ridiculous? Everyone states why they don't like her. She isn't good at her job. She provides nothing of value in a conversation about football. Her job is to speak and her voice is annoying. I think it is perfectly reasonable that she gets hate.

 

Many of us gave her the benefit of the doubt years ago hoping that she would get better, but she hasn't.

Yup.
 

I honestly believe most of those hating so much on Maddy Glab likely hate almost any woman talking football.  They almost never say the actual specifics of why they dislike her so much.

 

She seems very well prepared for each show, someone who does her research and has the details and analysis to make for a good show.  Loved Tasker as a player, but he doesn't seem nearly as prepared for his show as Maddy does, and definitely not as into it as she is.

 

I also like that she clearly has gotten better and better each year she has been part of the Bills.  Much more knowledgeable and better on air.

 

A nonsensical thread, to me, strange twisting of the example and bashing just to bash.

 

People say why they dislike her all the time. She hasn't gotten much better at all. Like, at all. She is basically the same as when she started. She is NOT prepared for every show because she doesn't have the football knowledge to be of value. Her go-to contribution is to repeat everything that Chris Brown says in a longer and more confusing way. She fills her allotted speaking time with fluff and filler words while saying basically nothing. I'm not as annoyed by her voice as many, but it certainly doesn't enhance anything.

 

This particular topic about the question and Josh's answer is a big nothing burger, but everything fans complain about with her is true.

 

Just as you accuse fans of hating her because she is a woman, I think the ones who defend her do it only because she is a woman.

Please someone post a link to this!


EDIT: Just listened. Basically she asked what aspect of the team are the media/fans not talking about enough. I think he was taken aback a bit because it was kind of a gotcha question; once she rephrased it, he said the family aspect of the locker room. 

It wasn’t her worst moment, but there’s a lot to choose from in that regard. 

 

Let's just say she isn't doing blondes any favors to get rid of the stereotype that exists.

Right, I think that's the key point here.  She isn't being paid to perform hard-hitting investigative sports journalism (if those words go together)

She's basically one step away from a team PR person, and her job is to provide "personal interest" and "entertainment" content.  It's when she's moved away from that into attempting to be a serious sports reporter that (IMO) she falters.
