It's easy, and only takes a few moments.ESPN gets paid as long as someone clicks and it doesn't matter who they click on. But I bet shmessy is two steps ahead of me, already digging up evidence of Roger Goodell being behind this poll in yet another devious attempt to harm the Patriots and help the Jets.
I love that even New York was a 60/40 divide
Thought it would have been closer than that
I don't think the question wording is slanted one bit, I think it's an excellent description of the contrast in styles.
Could anyone who disagrees propose alternate wording which they don't think is slanted, which still captures the essence of the people involved? Everything else I can think of either misses the point or actually is slanted.
Poor, poor shmessy, doesn't see the obvious conspiracy.What? Wow....ummm....you may want to cut back on the caffeine there.

Suspicion of Goodell's neutrality?
After his (Hess') death, American businessman Woody Johnson bought the Jets from Hess` estate in 2000. Johnson purchased the team for $635 million.
Based on the Jets' recent financial performance and the team's low-revenue lease at Giants Stadium, the analysts said the team was really worth about $250 million.

They certainly couldn't just ask whose style do you prefer?
It was critical to have the descriptive adjectives so folks
visiting the website would be familiar with the two
fellows, as they are not often in the news,
not well known.
Especially amoungst sports fans.
So this was really like a general philosophical question.
The fact that RR is a guy that makes "news" for ESPN every hour oif the day hads nothing to d0 with it.
Espn is about journalistic integrity, first and foremost, and maintains the highest ethical standards.
Sport is about celebrating the great virtues of humanity, the thrill of victory,
the agony of defeat, not crass, base objectives like profit.

Yes, I'm sure you're still right and one of these days the country will be outraged about it, and Ryan will lose his job for embarrassing his employer. No idea why, weeks later, it hasn't happened yet, but I'm sure it will since that's what so many impartial people here told me.Please, this has nothing to do with Goodell.
But, are you still in denial about the Rex Ryan Footgate thing????

Exactly how high up the network's editorial chain-of-command do you imagine the decisions on the daily web poll questions go?
I mean, you do realize that 'ESPN' isn't a single entity with its own agenda, churning out every bit of copy printed on its website and scripting every word spoken on air, like some giant sports-hyping super-computer robot? (Wait, maybe...)
"ESPN" didn't write that poll question. Some 22 year old Editorial Assistant came up with it, it was glanced at by a content editor in his 30s, sent to legal + copy, and then thrown up online, with hopes that it'll generate some clicks.
No big network exec is sitting at his desk, shaking his fist at the sky, screaming "damn you, internet! damn yoouuu!" because people prefer BB's style to Rex Ryan's.
How about "blustering bragadaccio" versus "carefully measured self-control"?
