Football popularity has led networks to establish talking head panels comprised of four ex-players and a moderator. These panels dominate the three aspects of the game – pre-game, play-by-play, and post-game, with redundancy as their leader. Football season is in full swing with offense, defense, special teams, and the turnover battle, in the forefront of discussion by the talking heads before, during, and after the game. These retired analyses are experts on strategy, and the games nuance.
During the pre-game show, they break down each game and decide who is favored to win based on injuries to key players, statistics, team records, and quarterback play. Week in and week out, their analysis reveals the team with the better offense, defense, special teams, and winner of the turnover battle usually wins the game.
Play-by-play is a live broadcast with two talking heads – the play-by-play announcer and analyst. They banter back and forth telling the fans what they are witnessing, with a few stories about the players during time outs and injuries. Statistics and turnovers take the forefront during the broadcast along with who is having a good game or a bad game. Their analysis at games end is about the offense, defense, special teams, and who won the turnover battle thus winning the game.
The post-game panel debate, criticize, and explain why a team won or lost with offense, defense, special teams, and the winner of the turnover battle.
The talking heads are the experts who make football out to be a game of high sophistication and strategy. It is a redundant game of offense, defense, special teams, and turnovers, with these four elements determining the winner.
