Default Has ESPN declared WAR on the Pats?

Last year it was the "Spygate" affair, all fueled by the hype of ESPN sportscenter. Not to mention the rams walkthrough tape hype before the SB (although that is mostly Tomase who broke it, ESPN merely blew it up even more).

This year they are cracking down on the Pats just after their second preseason game. Saying junk like they have to keep #12 upright! For chrissakes it's preseason. Why all the HATE for the Pats from the four letter sports network?? It's as if they are targeting the Pats organization to find as much negative stuff as possible. Am I the only one who feels this way lately?

Don't forget we are embracing the Hate in 2008. It's only just begun.

I've never watched ESPN but if they're saying the Pats need to keep Brady upright, I agree. The alternative is Cassel or worse. A less than .500 team.

I have no idea why any Patriot fan would waste their time reading, listening or watching any programming associated with ESPN.

In fairness to ESPN, this is not hate it is ESPN doing what most media outlets do - take a very minor story like the Pats having a bad preseason game and blow it out of proportion to make it sound like the Pats are going to tank it this year. "It's only one preaseason game with two starters on the o-line out" isn't going to entertain. "Brady may get killed this season" will.

I agree completly. FESPN has had a war on the Pats since 2001 when BB became coach.

They are a waste of journalistic talent and not one Patriots fan should read them.....

So are you saying the Patriots shouldn't keep No. 12 upright? What's the alternative, have him throw from his back.

I see it more like the Patriot fans have declared war on ESPN.

Like it or not ESPN feeds what the masses want.
