I have to admit that this b.s. is finally starting to wear on me. It's getting to the point that it's a f***ing joke.

We all know about fat manboy Chris Berman's NE bias, and there has been plenty of discussion here about broadcasters like Nantz, Simms, Gumbel and Dierdorf...not to mention the two Bills homers that worked the game for CBS last week.

Now, I go to espn.com and see a link for a story...'Ryan hopeful about Sanchez sprained PCL.'

WHO GIVES A FLYING MOTHERF**K!!!!

If Chad Henne had a sprained PCL (let alone MCL or ACL) it wouldn't even be on the damned radar!

Part of me likes the fact that the phins get no love from the national media and pretty much fly under the radar, but when I see ridiculous b.s. like this, I have to comment.
 
well dont tune in to NFL network, its a ****ing JESTFEST ON THERE.
 
The media is never going to side with us even if none give a **** about NE, jets, and bills. Because we fail time and time again to prove we are elite team and this season we are back to where we were in 2001 except we have a ok coaching staff and a promising qb (i hope) and less impressive defense then we did in 2001, but still just good enough to lose.

Isnt berman a bill fan?

Henne doesnt have the stats to be news
 
I dissagree. When Ronnie and Ferguson went on IR espn was all over it. Adding onto that im just getting tired of people complaining about sports analysts and commentators. If you dont like reading from espn dont. There are many other ways to find information. If you dont want to hear what there saying than mute your t.v.'s and listen to the radio.

Ronnie being lost for the season was news for about a week. And, ESPN was hardly "all over" Fergie's injury...c'mon!

Snatchez's sprained PCL will be in the headlines the rest of the season. Regardless of outlet, the teams in the northeast (with the exception of a handful of others) dominate the national coverage....and this is regardless of record...which makes it even more of a f**king joke.

I mean, the Jets suck, yet the media assumes people want to know about them...why?? The Pats are pretty much 'above average' this year, yet because they have Princess Brady at QB, the media assumes they're what fans want to know about too.

Of course we can get Dolphins coverage elsewhere. That's not the point. The focus of my thread was the national media seemingly assuming all fans want to know about are the teams in the northeast.
 
Sanchez, got hurt last night that's why it's news. What are they going to report on a Friday besides update the injury reports? It was a game played last night. No bias there.
 
have you ever seen where ESPN is located? In Los Angeles and New York. That is why they are all over the Lakers, Dodgers, USC Trojans and every team around New York.

Not to nitpick, but the other ESPN studio is in Bristol, Connecticut, not New York.
 
Well, honestly, when was the last time a team in Florida won anything? I just think we don't get our share of coverage because we aren't exactly a dominating team yet, let alone state. That's just how it is.
 
How could you possibly expect to not have more coverage for NY and Boston? HQ is in Bristol (closer to NY than Boston). Both are major sports cities with top teams. Well NY has the Yanks. Local stories for many local writers will obviously make up a lot of the content.

I guess it isnt bias to expect a Dolphins front page story though huh?

Don't watch ESPN or go to the website if its ruining your life. Simple

LOL- In some twisted way, this guy has a point. I don't watch ESPN's pre/post game coverage because I know that Berman is a tard. He grew up cheering for the Jets, openly has a bias for the Bills, and is constantly slobbering on Brady's knob. I did watch the post game after the Monday Night game with the Jets though- just to see the spin doctors work their magic after they trashed the Dolphins and practically handed the Jets the trophy for the three hours leading up to the game . If we somehow pull this game out against the Patsies maybe Berman will throw a temper-tantrum and devour Cris Carter's face :up:
