Agreed. The issue with the sports desk anchors wasn't who they had there at all (Blaire and Andy are likely the two most qualified for the position), but that they were given 30 seconds to talk the match. Given the time constraints, it would be very hard to get anything more than pretty general, obvious analysis.
On the other hand, do we have to copy the most pointless, fluff pieces of all sport games? While it was nice to see and hear some of the students (who all did a fantastic job), the sideline reports didn't add much. A student sitting next to me asked if FIRST was trying to mock sports games by doing the sideline reports.
All that being said, the entire Einstein was significantly better than any other year.
