Yeah, and people have been talking about Ty’s possible back injury and struggles late in the season, why not ask Ty about those things or ask KDB if he’d consider benching Ty for a series or two?

Heck, ask Roberts how he feels about not getting PT or ask KDB why Dre is still suspended.

Y’all can be coy if you’d like, but these are some dumb fricking questions being asked by guys covering Bama football two days before the Rose Bowl.

I know they are de facto professionals now, but I just don't particularly care for reporters putting an 18 year old on the spot like that. I mean what exactly do you want him to say to that question?

Roberts not getting PT and how he feels about it has no public interest.

I suppose an update on Dre's suspension is newsworthy but that'd mostly depend on if the DA dropped the case or a plea deal was reached.

Again, asking players in possibly their last media availability before the portal opens if they may enter the portal is not a dumb question.

I think people who say it is dumb are letting their fandom poison their rational thought. I'd rather the players not be inundated by questions that aren't focused on this football game because I care about this football game. The journalist aren't forced to use an AD talking point script. They are paid to ask questions that are newsworthy and drive engagement. Portal talk is engagement bait.

ESPN.com has the Ryan Williams news linked on the main tab of their mobile app. I rest my case on the newsworthiness of the question.

why are they goading for negativity
Because most the Bama sports media is ran by auburn and they are dying for some bad news on Bama.
