Why do all sports insist all pre half time talks with players.... IMHO it adds fudge all... all they want to do is get off the fudgeing field.... all they say is clichés and fudgeing bullshark
What would you rather instead?
An extra ad would add more value than what you get out of them. A blue screen of death. You tube videos of cats. Take your pick.
I think many people quite enjoy hearing what their heroes/players they like have to say, even if it is vapid.
Thing is, the half-time analysis is full of chiches and fudgeing bullshark as well.
I don't think the problem is that they have pre-halftime talks with players, they just don't ask interesting enough questions. For example, if I was interviewer of the CCM guy, I would've asked: "Do you feel like the Phoenix were basically shoving one of those big sauce bottles up your behind in the first half?"
