Some people have what it takes to speak on national television, and others don’t. You can most certainly file the following video under the latter, because last night during Monday Night Football’s match between the Broncos and Chargers, Sergio Dipp spoke. That might not sound so damning, but we assure you that it is.

Sergio Dipp Makes First (And Last?) NFL Sideline Reporting Debut

Allow us to recap: “It’s a pleasure to be with you guys, here on the field, from up close, just watching Coach Vance Joseph from here. You watch him now on the screen.”

Now, before you start ripping into him, know that he released an official statement regarding his debut early this morning on Twitter, saying thanks for the opportunity while…sort of rambling the exact same way he did on television. Which begs the question, “Is that just how he talks?”

Regardless, Twitter was ruthless as usual.

Personally, I don’t see what the big deal is. He performed pretty well for someone under such pressure. Plus, any time an actual sideline reporter reminds me of Kyle Mooney, I just sit back and enjoy it:

If you couldn't tell by his photo, dignity flew out the window long ago for Cory. But that just means that nothing is off limits, making him the perfect fit to write for Mandatory. Hobbies include: eating pizza, thinking about going for a jog today, writing memes that no one finds funny, and wondering what life would be like if he'd actually put forth the effort to make something of it 10 years ago. He also owns two other hats (not pictured).
