NFL Bias showing

Lol

But it’s chicken and egg thing. Do they talk about the Rams and Cowboys because people love them, or do people love the Rams and Cowboys because they talk about them so damn much?

And believe me, I can understand the under the radar approach and I pretty much agree with it. I’m not wanting to go out and shout about my team until they win it all. It’s just a dishonest thing they do and I wish they would admit it. The NFL should say “hey, we as a league promote and pull for Dallas, the Niners, the Rams, and KC”. I’d respect that more than them acting like it’s a equal footing league when we damn well know it’s not. A 10-year-old kid watching these highlights isn’t going to want to see Dallas highlights over Saints highlights. But when a 10-year-old kid sees five times as much Dallas highlights then he does Saints highlights from games in which both teams performed very well then it’s much more likely they are going to grow up a Dallas fan. That type of behavior sickens me from national coverage

Maybe unfair, but hard to complain about the NFL going after the lowest common denominator.

In my experience growing up in Alaska I've really only had two teams consistently on tv--The Cowboys and Seahawks. I've only owned one jersey and it was a Tony Dorsett jersey when I was 4 or 5 years old. So Boston has a valid question: "Do they talk about the Rams and Cowboys because people love them, or do people love the Rams and Cowboys because they talk about them so damn much?" And obviously, I understand the markets of these teams. Dallas, Texas and Los Angeles, California have millions of people in their respective markets while New Orleans, Louisiana has thousands.

The answer is the latter.

You're simply not going to get any "headlines" beating up on the Kittens.

Now if you go out there and fold up the Cows on Sunday ... a different story, then even more attention heading into week 3 vs the Feagles.

Fair point. But I still maintain that if Dallas would’ve beaten the kittens 47 to 10 and held them to under 200 yards like we did that NFL network would’ve shown more Cowboy highlights than the few plays they showed of the Saints.

Hey, on the bright side I got to watch the game the game at home. Sorry Boston.

If your new source is corporate media, you should expect to be let down.

Boston Saint · 09-10-2024, 07:56 AM

Ha Ha Ha….Just checked ESPN power rankings. Tampa at home beat Washington by 17 and move up EIGHT spots from 21 to 13. Saints beat Panthers by 37 and move up 2 spots to 23. So messed up. They really are gonna say there are 22 better teams than the Saints after a review of Sunday’s games?

And again it’s not that I want the Saints to be rated higher. I’m just pointing out the blatant media bias that clearly exists.

I'm OK with not being the flavor of the week with the NFL.

Seems like every time the Saints look a little sexy, there's a nasty let down. I like staying under the radar as long as possible!
