Arch Manning dug himself into a hole.

The Longhorns quarterback is facing some heavy pressure following his reaction to the AI video of Steve Sarkisian slapping Holly Rowe that stemmed from a viral clip of the coach blowing off a postgame interview with the ESPN star after Texas' stunning comeback win over No. 1 Ohio State on Saturday.

When asked whether he saw any AI edits after the game, Manning said: "I've seen a few AI edits and stuff, but that's about it. I saw AI edits of Sark's interview," which sparked laughter in the press conference room. "Have y'all seen that one? That's a good one," he added with a smile and a laugh. "Of him slapping Holly Rowe? That's hilarious."

It was hilarious. And of course he apologized.

We don't need sideline reporters.

Manning should have simply said “You don’t get to tell me what I can or can’t laugh at.”

You want to ask the coach questions, that’s what the post-game press conference is for.

and the TV networks pay lots of money (which compensates the coach and the players) and those things are part of the deal. Grow up and do your job.

They made him wait while they interviewed the Ohio State Coach. Texas got the crap beat out of them in the first half and he needed to get to the locker room to retool, but this bimbo thought she was more important than that. I am for reporters being banned from the sidelines personally.

They’ve always been eye candy....which makes putting Porky Rowe on their just wrong. Sorry, they’re not experts or serious “journalists”. They’re there to be eye candy. Just accept it.

LOL Me too. But I’m pretty sure that much of what’s on Holly’s bones ain’t meat.

I thought she just hosted on The NFL Today and wasn’t a sideline reporter.

Seriously, if they're gonna put women on as sideline reporters, can't they pick from the football knowledgeable women? I know plenty of women who know a lot about college football. Those kind of women here in my state teach kids the animal sounds like:
What does a dog say? Answer: bark
What does a bear say? Answer: growl
What does an elephant say? Answer: Roll Tide!
