You don't teach a toddler to walk by scolding them when they fall....

Is the line Meghan Mutrie used (pictured above) regarding the broadcasters for the USA/All Blacks game this weekend.

She was a sideline reporter and in the interest of full disclosure I thought she did a really good job.

She was fielding a complaint about the bias from the announcers towards America when she gave that toddler line.  Three things:

1).  I really didn't think they were biased.  Although the US lost, they played their asses off against the best team in the world and that's how the game was called;

2). I like the line as it's quite insulting;

3). Are you really saying that about your coworkers?  Seriously?  Like you are going to work with them again and that's what you say?  Don't know if I hate or respect that.

Final thoughts on the game.  US did play their asses off.  NZ is just too good.  Fucking pure is the only way I can think to describe it.  Every man down two people were rucking over, turning every maul, lineouts and scrums were a perfect collaboration of a team working together.  Great ball movement.  Pure.

But what Megs was trying to say (I think/hope for her sake) is that US Rugby, and its announcers (and sideline reporters) is in its infancy.  And she's right.

And when it grows up- it's going to be unstoppable.

GO EAGLES!!!
