Former ESPN star Jemele Hill is growing frustrated by the unprofessional questions being asked by NFL reporters, particularly the ones asked to Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward.
Ward, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, has had a tough go of things with the Titans thus far. The media has been pretty harsh, too. Ward has repeatedly been asked tough – borderline mean – questions by reporters.
After Sunday’s 26-3 loss to the Titans, Ward was asked if he’s getting used to being a loser.
“Have you gotten used to losing?” a reporter asked.
Ward responded: “No, I’m not a loser. The record may say that we are right now. But at the end of the day, you got to go through some stuff to try to get wins.”
Earlier this year, a reporter asked Ward why he doesn’t have better results, if he thinks he’s a good quarterback.
“Doesn’t a very good quarterback have better results than you have?” the reporter asked.
Ward has not been very good, but these questions are bordering on unprofessional and intentionally aggressive, right?
Hill is calling out the reporters
Hill took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to call out the reporters on social media this week.
“Cam Ward kept it professional. Can’t say the same for the person who asked this question,” she argued on X.
Earlier this week, Cory Yates called out the Titans reporters, too.
“There’s a difference between tough and mean-spirited questions. Cam Ward gets more mean-spirited questions from the local media than any QB in the league it’s pretty obvious it’s intentional and that he has zero PR air cover,” he shared on X.
The Titans are 0-5, and Ward is deserving of criticism, but perhaps the reporters are taking things too far with their lines of questioning.
