is there a media bias
 

i mean since the dolphins decided to go with pepper now all of a sudden the safer pick is pepper. so now according to everyone it is all about the dolphins didn't want brees because his arm. why did they talk to him for so long then? i think it is all bs. amazing

RE: is there a media bias
 

I noticed that too spk. Clayton and Salisbury said that Culpepper was the better choice. However, I just don't get this. The guy tore THREE ligaments in his knee, and is coming off a season where he was absolutely horrid without his main man Randy Moss. Brees has been a solid performer for several years now. Sure, I think they have the right to be wary of his shoulder problems, but the bias seems to be a little ridiculous.

the media and new orleans never did really get along, except it was to exploit the city as in the katrina aftermath

RE: is there a media bias
 

there is no doubt. early in the week it was all about how pepper had three torn ligaments and noone was sure how he would be because of it. now since the moment the dolphins signed him it is all about brees shoulder and how they didn't like whatbthe doctors saw. i don't buy it. i think that brees wanted to go there but wouldn't come off his number and the saints got him

RE: is there a media bias
 

i think the dolphins were embarassed that they couldn't afford him, therefor, let the excuses fly

Re: is there a media bias
 

MUCHO BS.

I mean stuffedpepper tears three ligaments and looks horrid without Randy pulling half the defense to one side of the field. With Randy ever notice how many jump balls Stuffedpepper threw to him? I hardly ever saw a nice floating ball deep over the shoulder by him. I am sorry but I think this is another so so QB going to Miami for a 2nd round pick. Better than the last of AJ feely but still Stuffedpepper is not that good.

RE: is there a media bias
 

i think that is probably true. you should nsee on the nfl blitz how much attention pepper and the dolphins are getting. as for brees and the saints all they do is give you a couple of sentences. they had an inside guy from the dolphins on and now they are having a guy from dallas in but noone from new orleans. i am not even talking about coaches. just media guys.

RE: is there a media bias
 

LOL....Is anyone surprised? I'm certainly not. The Saints aren't exactly media darlings. Never have been, never will be. The Dolphins entire receiving corps is weaker than what the Vikings had last season as far as depth. Sure Chris Chambers broke out, but he's still no Randy Moss. Culpepper could do nothing with the receivers in Minnesota, but look at what Brad Johnson did. Brees had marginal receivers this season. You can't count Gates and LT because they aren't wide receivers, but Brees still had a pretty damn good season. I am going to laugh until I piss myself when I see Culpepper looking like Aaron Brooks in Miami. I have now officialy become anti-Dolphin. Screw Nick Saban, Randy Mueller, and the media as a whole.

RE: is there a media bias
 

...ya think???

... Miami is more glamorous... the history, Saban, Mueller, etc... and anything the madia would say about it, is mere speculation because we will never know what actually went on during the talks...

... I mean, go figure... Culpepper's strength is his size and mobility, yet he has not recuperated from the knee injury... while everyone is speculating and raising flags about Brees' shoulder (including me :) ) I have not heard much said about Culpepper's knee..

All we have to do is win, then we'll get more love than we really deserve. Ala the Rams or the Patriots

RE: is there a media bias
 

When I become rich, I'm going to have a nationally televised sports show that covers nothing but the Saints and the Chicago Cubs....That way I don't have to hear about the Yankees, Red Sox, Mets, Cardinals, Eagles, Patriots, or any other media darling ever again.

RE: is there a media bias
 

what about the astros

RE: is there a media bias
 

on nfl blitz they had ed daniels from new orleans on. he made the point of peppers knee. thank you. they glanced over it when he did that. he said that he is hearing that the saints are looking at mario as their first pick. he said he wished they would take hawk. any chance we are taking this guy mario to go to a 3-4 and that mario will be an outside lb?

RE: is there a media bias
 

Who cares which player gets more attention? All I know is that if the Saints would have picked up Culpepper, I would be absolutely irate. And that, my friends, is not a good thing. Brees, to me, was the best choice by far. Trust me, we do not need another quarterback who can't seem to hold on to the ball. Culpepper was just as bad as Bad News Brooks. I'm glad he's in Miami.

RE: is there a media bias
 

spkb's got right...I think it was more like Saban did have the jack for Brees, besides the Fins website has a statement from mueller emphasizing that Pepper still has to pass the physical....I bet they are already getting hammered for trading for that guy...

I'll talk about 'em, but only when my Cubs are beating them....LOL

RE: is there a media bias
 

kinda risky putting the captain of the love boat in the middle of south beach. pepper wont make to the reg. season without some controversy

RE: is there a media bias
 

Culpepper arrested for sexual assault in 5...4...3...2...

RE: is there a media bias
 

I didn't want to be cliche' and say that the media is biased, but honestly you can't say that they aren't when all last week the major media outlets were saying Drew Brees would be the best pick for the Dolphins, and that Culpepper was a much bigger ?. I remember watching Mike and Mike in the Morning as I usually do, and they had on John Clayton I beleive, and he was up in arms against Culpepper. Everyone was saying Culpepper should be looked at as damaged goods, but now they have reversed it on Brees ONLY because New Orleans signed him. Oh one more thing at 11 am this morning XM's Fox Sports Radio stated "Brees WILL sign with the Dolphins today, all this talk is a formallity." HaHa idiots.
