Just curious, why is it so important

The reason is that we would like to see more Saints coverage at the national level. Every three seconds they are talking about the same set of teams: Pittsburg, Seattle, Chicago, Philly, New England, Indy, Carolina, Dallas.

It's based on three criteria:

1) Star power
2) Reputation
3) Somewhat consistent winning

Dallas hasn't been in the playoffs since 2003 but yet gets a lot of pub.

I think a lot of us fans are annoyed by the fact that it takes months for the media to catch on to hot teams. Anyone who is 4-1 or better right now should be getting a lot of discussion. That includes us, St. Louis, Denver, and the like.

But it doesn't work like that.

the only people who truly understand the monumental changes this team has gone through is US, lifelong Saints fans. Since the beginning of the year, it's been "so and so said this" and "why are they saying that?" I am just curious as to why anyone cares? Is it really that important to that many people that ESPN kisses our arse? Or any other national sports news outlet? Why?

As a Saints fan I want to see more about our team. And while I understand you can't spend a lot of national media time talking about a 0-5 Lions team,, the Saints at 4-1 are a total surprise.
