Reporter Wants To Know How Todd Bowles Is Preparing The Bucs For A Cold Weather Game In Detroit ... Forgets, You Know, They Play In A Dome
You know how people love to describe someone as a 'pro's pro'? This is one of those times that it should be said. I hate that whole thing, if you're a pro, you're a pro. You can't be a pro's pro. But the way Todd Bowles let this person ramble on, not cut them off, not make fun of them and simply deal with it has me rethinking everything about the Bucs.
Never mind, I regret saying that.
Anyways, how Bowles didn't just walk off like Mike Tomlin being asked about his contract deserves some sort of award. There's nothing worse in life than dealing with dumb people. I'm not even talking about funny dumb or like simply forgetting something. I'm talking about not knowing the Lions have played in a dome for 50 years. It's called research and preparing. Pretty sure this is where Captain Cons would say failure to prepare is preparing to fail and that's why he played at Army.
Sure, people forget things and say the wrong thing from time to time. It happens to the best of us. The problem is this is the playoffs. You can't be sending out JV questions when you're getting ready for the Divisional round. No, this needs to be high IQ only. Maybe she was trying to figure out how they'd handle the walk from the bus to the arena? I don't know, the point is in the playoffs you can't be having this. Need everyone on the same page and that's prepping for an indoor game at Detroit.
I can't lie, I've watched this part at least 5 times. You can see the wheels turning in Todd's head about how to answer this 'correctly'
Man was so confused for a second probably thought he was wrong about Detroit having a dome. Then simply went with no. The lesson as always - gotta prep for anything. That walk from the bus to the stadium could be cold as shit. Gonna prepare and endure.
