No Respect still? ESPN Sucks!

[NewEnglandAFChamps]

Its funny to me how ESPN and other sports networks lean towards to victorious one in big games forgetting all together about how the other team did or the effort was shown. Not once, have I heard Carolina mentioned in a recap of the SNF game. Everyone is talking about how the Giants are world beaters now and etc, their running game and this and that. When I've heard no one mention the fact that their two Defensive tackles were hurt, Ma'ake Kemoeatu didn't even play and Damione Lewis left in the 3rd Quarter and Carolina still had the game won. And now all of a sudden, they can't even beat New Orleans? and now all hope is lost and they will fall to the 5th seed? And now Giants get all the praise when they barely won at full strength with all of their Runningbacks and no DT for Carolina? even as a Pats fan that makes me sick and f*ck it, call me a Pats N Panther fan now! Because its official, I just crossed over. but that is just lack of respect for Carolina. ESPN makes me sick.

We're a small market team.

Such is life.

All they're trying to do is to get the people pumped up to watch the games Sunday. They know we'll watch. They're trying to get New Orleans fans to watch.

They did talk a little about the Panthers, and it seems like most of them on ESPN said that Carolina played well, and there was nothing to be "pissed" about. But for the most part nobody talks about us.

That's what happens when you lose. No big deal.

uh, Cowboys?

[flex]

It's called SPIN.

[megadeth078]

uh, Cowboys?

We don't have a big market, we lose everything when we drop a game. I don't think it's any big deal.

[Jangler]

I know I just like taking my shots at the Cowboys.

Poor Wade Phillips. Poor ole Wade.

[Scrumtrilescent]

Screw Wade Phillips. His dad was cool, he's a dolt.

no offense to NewEnglandAFChamps but being a fan of the pats, who are the media darlings year in and year out, but we panther fans are used to this.

the only time that anyone ever pays any attention to us is when they think we are potentially on top. they don't want the panthers to be the best and don't particularly like our team or like having to give them any attention. i really think that they are annoyed anytime they have to talk about them and would rather just go back to ignoring them.

as soon as they are given a reason to think that they really aren't good they jump far away from anything panther related. i promise you that if the panthers had won that all the media would be able to talk about would be the demise of the giants.

if, somehow, the panthers managed to make it to the superbowl and win it they would find some reason to talk about some other team....probably the team we beat.

it's kind of like how a couple years ago the broncos beat the pats in a playoff game and instead of talking about how big of a win that was for the broncos and celebrating their success, the main story was how it was the end of an era since we would be seeing a superbowl without the pats in it. the focus was on tom brady and the heartbreak. not the broncos who had just won.

the media likes some teams and not others. shocking, i know.

Nobody in the media will ever give a crap about Panther football until we win a super bowl. They get paid to kiss the big market ass which means NY, Pitt, Dallas, etc...hell they STILL have more coverage of the Cowboys and all their nonsense than they do real football issues with winning teams.

I thought Harris Smith shot himself. :confused:
