Don't know where to begin on this show.

Kristine is not good at interviewing. Which is a big problem considering the whole show is her interviewing people.

One huge issue with her is, when she asks her guests a decent question, (no doubt written by someone else), and they respond with one word, she says 'ok' and moves on. This is painfully evident when she interviews Chris Johnson. Granted, he is not a very forthcoming subject. But she does NOTHING to try to get him to expound on anything he says.

Do you miss the game? Yeah.

Do you like tacos. No.

Ok thanks chris!

She is a pretty girl that could easily be playful/flirty, (a la Kelly Ripa), to at least get her guests to smile. Instead, she reads her questions like a script, and rushes to the next question like she's more concerned with finishing her questionnaire than actually learning about her guest.

Another issue is she seems to think the guests, and her viewers, care about her sports opinions. The premise of her show is to shine the spotlight on her guests. Instead, she takes every opportunity to tell everyone how much of a fan of Boston sports she is, and how much she dislikes the Lakers, Lebron, the Yankees, etc. She gives the impression she is self-absorbed and narcissistic.

With amazing women in sports more deserving of their own shows, like Rachel Nicols, Mina Kimes, Erin Andrews, Joy Taylor, Rachel Bonetta, Michele Tafoya, Sage Steele, etc., she single handedly sets women's careers in sports talk back with her valley girl vernacular.

She uses clickbait in every one of her YouTube videos. Does not ask the right questions or have any interesting interviews whatsoever. Not sure what the point of this show is.

Untrained and unprofessional Journalist
adambterry19 May 2019
Kristine Leahey is very difficult to watch interview people and is an untrained so-called sports journalist who breaks almost every common rule of conducting an interview. For example, she feels she needs to validate every single word her subjects say by uttering an : um hum or ooh or wow and then feels she needs to talk like a Vally girl even though she only been in L..A. A short time and was raised in Illinois via Boston. Get a grip FOX even your blonde talent on Fox News has some idea of how to be a professional journalist.
