The media yearns for what they consider to be their 'good old days' of 2007, when they got unprecedented ratings and a record number of web hits by continuously talking about spygate; in terms of attracting viewers, listeners and readers, everything else paled in comparison. Then you have Porter, who is just about the only person in football that still wants to talk about it. So as a result the media can't help themselves with a bit of cheap sensationalism by repeating what Porter has to say whenever he faces the Pats.
Fans of other teams will continue to gravitate to these articles as long as they still cling to the belief that their favorite team was denied a championship because of the videotaping. Porter will still be given time in front of cameras and microphones so reporters can give those fans what they want to hear. It's all about ratings and its affect on ad revenue; nothing more, nothing less.
