Sideline Reporters
When sideline reporters perform with prescience and smarts, they provide an essential resource for sports viewers. The opposite paradigm is asking vapid questions and delivering "sis-boom-bah" platitudes for coaches and players. Still, while the quality of sideline reporting talent is wildly uneven, I support the idea that the more reporters on the field the better.

Pro Football NOW
Who's the better Ryan? On Sunday it was Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill, who led Miami to a 27--23 victory over Matt Ryan and the Falcons. The Dolphins are 3--0 for the first time since 2002, and it's been even longer since their last playoff win (2000). Is this the year they make some postseason noise? That and more will be discussed on SI.com's weekly live NFL talk show, Pro Football Now, presented by John Hancock and hosted by Maggie Gray and former Giants wide receiver Amani Toomer. Watch Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. EST @ SI.com/profootballnow
