re: What happened to Brooke?

I mean, if we’re being honest, she just never really fit with Nick and Mike, which I don’t think was either side’s fault. She brought some professionalism to them but it just seemed like an awkward fit with what they were trying to do. It didn’t seem like she was doing a lot of article and analysis writing like Nick and Mike do. So other than the pods, it just seemed like she wasnt doing that much, just there to filter questions between Nick and Mike. Maybe she wanted to do more. Maybe they wanted her to do more and she didn’t want to. Who knows.

But it was strange than Nick hired her to begin with seeing the role he gave her. It was almost like he wanted their pod to be more like First Take and have a moderator or something instead of just a football pod companion to their articles. But it didn’t work and she was just redundant. I will say it did seem like Nick was always trying to be the “cool” guy around her. Never any outright flirting but you could tell he would try a little too hard around her versus when he just did the pod himself or just him and Mike. I doubt there’s anything to that but that’s the way it came across
