Do pundits listen to what they say?

I often wonder whether pundits and commentators and presenters listen to what they actually say. For me they increasingly say the most stupid, ignorant and ridiculous things it's embarrassing. Do they think we are stupid? Are they stupid? Or as a result of over saturation they just desperate for something to say? I'm also aware that some say these things for a reaction for people to phone in etc. just this wee we had keown accusing Reid of an overreaction to sweinsteiger elbowing him in the neck. Omg he elbowed him in the neck! Did he roll around like he had been shot? No.. There was no critising the blatant elbow which is always regarded as a sending off for raised arms. Then to top it off richard keys complained that the review panel even got it wrong and it should have been yellow. Since when has it been ok to condone violent behaviour? I have been chopped in the neck like that and it feels like an assault! There is also no condemnation from these idiots about the tackle on Tomkins from fallani. Which quite honestly been brush under the carpet like the tackle on Payet. When do people realise football loses when cheats are allowed to win, whether that's diving or maiming people. Surely these ex players should try to protect the game and what it stands for.
