Channing does not want his work to be defined by drama, chaos, or messiness just to generate clicks or engagement.

“I don't believe all content is good content. I don't believe all publicity is good publicity. I don't think it has to be I don't think we have to be gossipy. I don't think we have to be messy. I don't think we have to always be chaotic. I don't always think that we have to create some level of drama”

Jay Williams argues that the current media landscape prioritizes emotional reactions over nuanced discussion, creating a disservice to the news.

“news back in the day used to be the news and then a smaller segment or maybe how you felt about the news now it's about how you feel and then the news is a backstory to how you feel right because your emotion elicits things going viral”

Mainstream sports media is ignorant and biased, often ignoring facts in favor of their own heart-driven narratives.

“so that shows you how ignorant that mainstream media is that shows you that these are not operating off of facts they operating off their heart and they letting their heart Cloud their Vision”

The national media fails to properly analyze the NBA because they prioritize entertainment-driven narratives over watching the actual games.

“The same drum that I'm beating with this, like it just has become cool to not watch basketball. Like it's all about like entertainment value. Like that's just the the the clip farming, the the looking for highlights instead of like the substance of the game.”

“I wanted to make it a comfortable environment not sticking microphones in your face not making you feel uncomfortable i want to feel like you know you're having a glass of wine smoking and joint and just chopping it up”

Julian Edelman asserts that consistency and maintaining long-term relationships within an organization are critical for success in broadcasting.

“there's something to be said about consistency what you guys had in New England and I think that's the part where I'm always like I'm less finicky I'll get rid of husbands quicker than I'll get rid of like teammates on you know shows that I work on”

She believes that the shift toward breaking the fourth wall and embracing unscripted moments has been a positive and normalizing development in sports content.

“But I think at that at that time like we're talking 2016. It's actually insane to think about like how much how long ago that was. We were really interested in like breaking the fourth wall which back then you didn't really do. You guys bring that to get upset all the time. I think that that's now p”

Charissa Thompson claims that maintaining authenticity and being genuine is the key to succeeding in sports broadcasting.

“you are exactly who you are on TV is who you are off TV so I think that that's like don't ever lose that”

Chris Berman asserts that individuals working in sports media must remain their authentic selves on-air because audiences are perceptive and can distinguish genuine personalities from those attempting

“If you try to be somebody else who you're not and you're on every night, the difference of ESPN that the network still we're on every day. And if we're not ourself when something doesn't tape doesn't go right or something breaking news happens and then you're an actor or an actress. Okay?”
