I don’t read much ESPN, CNN. Fox, USA Today, etc for precisely this reason. Obscure publications is where the transparency tends to reside. |

And it's annoying that national writers overlook smaller market players...
Like Aaron Rodgers The Green Bay Packers are located in the smallest media market of any NFL, NBA or MLB franchise. But despite its small size — the city has a population of just more than 100,000 people — the games are regularly sold out. |

Re: USA Today/SaintsWire | David Onyemata overlooked on list of best NFL interior defensive linemen
When you look at total television markets, Saints are easily the smallest, but amongst the most loyal, in the country...
League tries to spin they're support for their favored small markets like Pittsburgh and Green Bay, but it's very deceptive... Factor nearly all of West Virginia (Pittsburgh) or Milwaukee et al Wisconsin (Packers), those teams easily have Top 15 market size/share in the league... And with Carolina, probably the fastest growing market in the country, they're now a Top 15 total market as well... That's why those teams get a lot of favoritism from the league (schedule, rulings, etc) even in their down years... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

He used to always choose to broadcast the Cowboys games over the Saints when both were broadcast at the same time. He always caught hell because of it. He finally relented and started a poll to ask viewers which game they would prefer if both were being aired at the same time. The Saints came out on top by a large margin in every occasion. After a couple of years he dropped the poll and went back to doing what he wanted.
I see Saints gear around here ten to one all year round. It did increase, of course, after the huge influx of Katrina transplants that stayed. But, yes, there are Cowboys fans around here that also claim to be Saints fans. Which ever team is winning is the Cowpatty fan motto. |
