I think NOF was under the impression that Dennis Allen and Mickey care what they say so they started being super negative about the team. I agree that Brooke was the most professional of everyone.

it always seemed to me that she was preferring the 'host' role and soliciting/framing feedback from Nick & Mike and Nick was always 'encouraging' her to get her takes in tooAt times her commentary/opinions on the team would get cut off and dismissed by both guys. I don’t think they did it maliciously, but it wasn’t a good look and to her it probably felt like her opinion wasn’t valued.

but she was always more deliberate and careful in her approach and Nick seems to always want to push tempo (i swear there was a pod last week or so where he seemed to be 'on' something - just blazing through his commentary)

I never thought that their commentary was in a negative tone. I've listened to pods that are a lot worse.I think NOF was under the impression that Dennis Allen and Mickey care what they say so they started being super negative about the team.

If you check her insta story she’s got something that talks about not feeling valued, respected and held back. I can’t help but think the Nick Underhill blew it.
That’s what i was thinking as well.More than likely a money thing. She probably wants to be a sports director and I doubt Nick can float that kinda pay right now.
I respect nick as a beat reporter but he kinda rubs me the wrong sometimes tbh especially in the past year. I’m not afraid to say that I’m not a huge fan of the guy personality wise.If you check her insta story she’s got something that talks about not feeling valued, respected and held back.

Also, they just moved-in to a new studio on Veterans. I imagine that isn't cheap. Maybe she objected to that, and thought they should pay staff more, rather than moving into a new studio? Or maybe when she asked for more money, Nick said he couldn't afford it due to the new studio expense? IDK.
Either way, I think the production has suffered with her gone. Also, the value-add of the pieces she did with Juwon and Demario, are things that Nick and Mike can't do. And, as far as I know, no other outlet is doing such in-depth pieces as well as those were done, so it kind of set NOF apart.
She probably knew her value, and is likely pursuing opportunities more aligned with her talent level. We'll still get the best analysis (IMO) with Nick and Mike; it just won't be as polished as it was before Brooke left.
Just watched it andI remember at the end of the last show she was on she said “we’ll be in our new studios on Monday”, and if you look at Nick’s body language while she was talking he looked weird.
Same. I remember replying to some comment he made (on Twitter) last year, and he responded back very abrasive. All I commented was how DA wasn’t the right guy for the team, and shared stats, and he fired back with something about how it was too early to say that, and the stats I had provided didn’t mean anything. What’s more is his minions started piling on as well.I respect nick as a beat reporter but he kinda rubs me the wrong sometimes tbh especially in the past year.

I hope Brooke finds a place she’s valued in all of this.
