NFL Bias showing

Boston Saint · 09-09-2024, 07:41 AM

So it is already happening. I’m watching the morning show on the NFL network and their blatant favoritism is on full display.

First thing they do is cover the Rams/Lions game. Now this was obviously a nationally televised game in a prime time slot…Probably the most watched game of yesterday. So, what does the NFL do? They proceeded to spend about 10 minutes showing highlights of a game that most fans watched live. They then proceeded to spend about another 15 minutes analyzing and talking about the game with a fine-toothed comb.

They then switch to about three minutes showing maybe four plays of highlights of a “lesser” game (Atl/Pitt I think) with no in studio commentary, and then proceed to show 10 minutes of Dallas highlights with in-studio breakdowns of the Cowboys’ performance.

The league bias for certain teams/cities is disgusting.

Rant over. Now six days to savor the win.

The end of the 4th quarter was a large dose of Deja Vu. Same score! Almost the same field position, and Detroit heading in the same direction. Totally enjoyed the looks on the Rams players faces after the Lions DROVE the ball down their throats for the W!! To quote Sean Mcay............"I saw nothing wrong with the play." Hurts, don't it? "Sean"

On a side note: How come Alex Anzalone couldn't stay healthy when he was a Saint? He's only missed 3 games as a Lion and in 4 years with the Saints only played 16 games 2 of his 4 years.

Godd question that proably has a complex answer. It might be a better diet, different strength and conditioning coaches, increased mobility training, yoga or just plain luck.

I think this could relate to our societies stupid obsession with prequels and remakes instead of original stories with uncertain endings. Most people are sheep and prefer being told stories where they already know what will happen. They take more pride in defeating themselves in an imaginary quiz bowl over minute details than in seeing something new.

Good. Don't eat the cheese.

Just like a parent who says: "But I love all of my kids equally."

You KNOW who the favorite sibling is!

Nothing new. Just roll with it.

The Saints will be all the talk when they smoke the Cowpukes.

Wishful thinking. You know they won't. Win, lose, or draw, all the commentary about the next 3 Saints games will be about the opponent. We could smoke Dallas Sunday and Monday's talk will be how the Cowgirls did not meet their expectations.

The Saints are literally the Washington Generals in the national media world. Their only purpose is to serve as backdrop for the higher profile teams they actually want to talk about.

Saw it today. 3 minute segment on ESPN showing the Saints stomping the Kitties out. Did they talk about the new offense, the productive defense, or the Saints scoring on each of their first 9 drives. Of course not. They talked about how the Carolina organization has done a disservice to Bryce Young by not having their team prepared to play.

You have to just laugh because it's so obvious and pitiful.

Just remember that when the Saints won the SuperBowl in 2009, the next day they wanted to turn the page to next season, the draft, and who was most likely to win in 2010. And the Saints of course were not at the top of that list.

It's a joke.

These are smart people producing and directing these shows and they know what the consumer wants to see and trust me Carolina vs Saints ain’t it. That’s good though, stay under the radar. As we have seen in the past winning will bring the reward of popularity, if you consider that a reward. Forget the pundits, enjoy the win yesterday and talk s__t to whoever for at least one week. Lol
