War on ESPN? - New England Patriots Forums

PatriotsReign · 05-11-2008, 10:42 PM

I'm open to any and every idea on fighting back the national media campaign lead by ESPN and being waged against the Patriots. For whatever reason, Mr Kraft & the Patriots organization have not been able to defend themselves and I've had it.

I'll throw the first proposal out there;

Picket ESPN studios - This could force our voices to be heard. We'd need a spokesperson who could represent the Patriots, their fans and the truth who could speak to the media and deliver our message. AND we'd need a huge turnout!

What do you guys think?

What a guy...thanks shmessy. I would definately go with my sign, but I wouldn't be the best public representative...I'd choke on live TV!

Maybe someone who is actually FROM the media might help out.

Kraft is no idiot. ESPN pays the league a billion dollars a year for 17 third and fourth rate games a year with their TV contract. If it wasn't for that, I think Mike Fish and ESPN would have to worry about a huge lawsuit from Mr. Kraft. Considering the NFL fleeced ESPN to pay for Monday Night Football and then make Sunday Night Football the marquee primetime game of the week, Kraft will look the other way until it gets bad enough that he has no choice but take action.

Don't you think Bob Kraft (who is obviously a very shrewd businessman) should invest in better PR personnel? The Patriots have decided to take the high road and not defend themselves from all of these allegations...I don't think the fans need to start a crusade when the owners of the business are (visibly) unconcerned.

Well, then maybe we stand up for ourselves as Patriot fans. "WE" need to be heard and "WE" need to stop the BS by publically calling out the media!

For some reason, I feel compelled to pick on ESPN...

How come I'm getting a vision of THIS when I imagine our future picket organizing meetings?:
