ESPN Chris Fowler stands by colleague Holly Rowe during the drama of the last week with Texas, Steve Sarkisian and Arch Manning...
quote:
If you don't now how great Holly Rowe ( @sportsiren ) is, you ought to. She doesn't deserve to be dragged into the sad ugliness created by a video depicting violence against a respected, beloved woman. By the way, She's handled it with typical class. #collegefootball

I don’t understand the affinity for a sideline reporter that asks the same generic tired old questions for 30 years.

She. Is. Bad. For college football, sports TV, anything.
Make it stop, bring some other attractive, non whiny females, or drop the sideline gossiper.

The Skycast option wins without any commentary and actual crowd noise.

It's just you. A reporter has a job to do and schools are under contract for those coaches to be available for interviews. She was disrespected.

Holly is one of the few actually good at her job. The person I know who despises female sports reporters the most, my wife, actually likes Holly.

Is this dinglebear aware that the video was not real and was a joke? The whole speech/thought police thing is entering fatigue territory.

It was a stupid joke and whoever made it should apologize to anyone who watched the video. LOL. I doubt Holly Rowe cared one way or another.

He said that. It was his point to laugh at that is disrespectful. The apology by Arch was for laughing at the AI clip.

A kid laughed at a joke, involving people he knows. Pretending that is some kind of character flaw, or a national emergency is foo king stew pit.

All these poeple are speaking for Holly Rowe. Maybe let the little lady speak for herself. I haven't heard shite from her. Maybe she thinks it's funny too.

I thought it was hilarious. You know why? BECAUSE IT WAS NOT REAL!!!! It’s a joke. I can’t believe Arch agreed to a struggle session with big Holly Rowe. If he had AI “punched” a male reporter, we wouldn’t be enduring all of this nonsense.
