When the Green Bay Packers are in the playoffs, TV news wants you to know they’re everywhere. It is an all hands-on deck situation in the newsroom. Packers are treated like royalty and the top story. I’m unsure what could knock the Packers down to the second story in Block A. But one thing that I fail to comprehend is why TV news feels the need to get fan reactions after the game? What purpose does it serve after a win or loss to get a worse version of a sports radio caller take? If you want an example, enjoy this reaction piece.

If I’m a news producer, I’m scrapping this type of content immediately. Do you know what would be more interesting? Finding out a bar or restaurant that didn’t have the Packers game and people that didn’t watch the game. Or an underrated spot where there are only a few Packers fans watching the game versus the typically packed crowd shots. I truly do not give a shit about anyone’s opinion who watched the Packers’ game at a bar. It is the same thing as logging on to Facebook and seeing what the burnout from your graduating high school class thought of the game.
