There's so much they could talk about, but they don't put in the homework, it seems, to be able to do it. Shoot, I'd even be fine if they talked about Olympic sports when they've done something cool. Bring Courtney Waymant on for an interview after being a national champion for example.
I used to be a sports reporter, and there was always a way to find some sports to write about, even during the "dead" period of summer. You just have to make it a priority.
