Does anyone esle get quite frustrated when they have these post match interviews with players after a sporting events?

They ask an array of inane questions like:

how does it feel to win?

how did it feel kicking/getting the winning goal?

you must've been dissapointed with the loss?

will the win give you confidence for next week?

and so on. Does anyone see this? It's always the same. I am not too sure about other american sports, but we get quite a bit of this for AFL (australian rules football) and most other sports getting played atm.

Theres also the array of other cliches which get used so often that they should stop asking the same questions each week? Can't they think of something different to ask?

I also don't like how some of the interviewers think they're part of the team and sometimes try to rob players of the winning moment (like in a grand final or something) by not letting them enjoy it. There reactions on field speak much louder than any preconceived cliched answers or other implicit respones to inane questions.

just a bit of a rant i guess?
