On ESPN only the major market teams matter and even then you really only matter if you are a major market team that happens to be on the East Coast. I'm a huge Pats fan, but we could be 2-12 and still be the top story along with the 1-11 Giants and 6-5 Steelers while the 11-0 Cleveland Browns are completely ignored. That's just how that network operates, for every sport.
Yeah - it's only going to get worse after collective bargaining next year. Me thinks the salary cap is going to be a thing of the past soon....
I Tivo'd ESPN news for an hour. There was one 7 second thing on Bills/Bucs. Granted it's bills/bucs, but 7 seconds in an hour? This is the NFL right? It's not Southeastern Vermont State
