Re: Is anyone else like me and cant watch anymore ESPN when they talk about the Pats?
I rarely watch ESPN because its too sensationalist, and that's with everything, not just the Pats.
But as much as anti-Pats haters Wingo & Schlereth and others are, they still talked up the Pats during their run like they were the greatest team of all time. They basically hyperbolize the hell out of the story, regardless of pro- or anti-Pats.
ESPN is simply pro-huge story to try to get ratings. That's it. So for right now, the "story" is Pats are awful cheaters and they have to work every angle possible to push this story.
If the Pats start off the season killing people and get to 10-0, the story will again be "Are the Pats the greatest team of all-time?" and they will ballwash them out of control.
It's the nature of the beast.
