Is it just me or has ESPN forgotten that there are thirty other NFL teams? - u-Assist Forums

It seems that the only thing that?s talked about on NFL Live since Monday night has been the upcoming Cowboys-Patriots game.

I understand that this will be a good match up, but wtf?! There is more to the NFL than the Cowboys and the Patriots. I?m a Colts fan myself and I?m mystified that outside of ESPN radio, no one has even commented on the undefeated Super Bowl champions. It?s a slap in the face.

Also, there are other things going on in the NFL that are worth talking about. Such as Testaverde being signed by Carolina. The ongoing collapse in the N.O and the over hype of Reggie Bush. The resurgence of the Packers. The Steelers returning to their Super Bowl winning form. The issues in Philly?the list goes on. Yet this week it?s been all about the Cowboys and Patriots. That?s just poor coverage in my opinion. Hey, get your ratings?but serve the entire fan base of the NFL.

Yeah, I'm getting tired of hearing about the same two or three teams. They need to expand it a little.

Patriots are the best team in the league, ergo, most coverage. Dallas, number 3( behind indy) ergo 3rd most coverage... Patriots V. Dallas =LOTS of coverage, as it is a potential Superbowl matchup in week 6... doesnt happen very often in the NFL.
so relax, Colts will have their time in the limelight in week 9, when they play the patriots.

Yeah I don't know. They have been drooling over the Pats since before the season. Now its Pats AND Cowboys.

No, it's not just you. For three days solid they've been talking about that game or Joe Torre getting fired. If I were an Indians fan I'd be pissed. They won the series and all ESPN talks about is the Yankees. And when they're not talking about the Yankees, it's all about the Patriots or the Red Sox. ESPN -Eastern Seaboard Programming Network

What about hockey fans? Why did ESPN drop that coverage? It's not easy being a hockey fan these days!
