roarup,
I feel your pain. In fact, most fans are tired of the media. We shouldn't fault them for doing their job though. It's all about $$$.
One of the reasons the league went to the 2 week layoff is for the hype to build and the $$$ to roll in. It's a huge boost for the economy, especially at the site of the big game.
Honestly, I stopped watching, listening and reading most of the pre-game stuff years ago. Come Sunday, my TV won't go on until 6:00 PM. Any info I need to know I get selectively. Much of it from sites like this.
