East Coast bias...are 9ers in TC yet?

Post # 967: Yup, true form, once again, 9ers are off the grid in local papers(SLO), local news, all ESPN...all the time, same for national sports shows on radio.... Man, I had had it years ago about this bs., but this is taking it to a new level. Peyton Manning, Tebow, Sanchez, Jets, Broncos, Giants...but nofrickinbody else. Were it not for the webzone (we don't get SFO radio down here...or do on occasion, but poor pickup), I wouldn't know TC even started for the 9ers. There is seemingly a news blackout, but I can tell you everything about Peyton and Tebow if I chose to watch the f**d up sportsnews. This is not only boring, it is insulting. On the other hand, maybe nobody will even know we went thru TC and PS with a bit of luck, and we can surprise once again. I can tell you this. GB has no idea what we are doing, in that there is a total SF news blackout if you don't live in SF. For ESPN, they should be ashamed of themselves for putting on such a slobbering love affair with both peyton and Tebow. I bet sanchez doesn't think much of it either. Whatever, this post wil be reprised next yr again at this time, with the same complaint. As for the national media...they are missing the best story in the NFL. So much the better for us, I suppose.....

I actually like the lack of exposure, the less hype the better.

ESPN is OBSESSED with the Jets. They always have been, but with Tebow now there? Holy s*it... Even they ex-raider WR (forgot his name) was in the national headlines after he got pissed that Cromartie said he was their second best receiver. I hope that team sucks this year.

We should be used to it, but with this team, this yr, ESPN is going to come late to the party, and act like they always knew we were gonna steamroll. Slobbering love affairs make me want to turn off the tv, and that is exactly what I have done now , for yrs.

Yep, sickening. I can't watch ESPN or NFL Network's coverages. And that was Chaz Schillens, who we looked at in offseason before adding Manningham.

NFL Network is doing a pretty great job hitting all the teams.

But HOLY s**t. ESPN is on a new level of terrible this year. The non-stop Jets coverage is everything we have grown to hate about the world wide leader. They are reporting a quarterback controversy for what will be (at best) a 9-7 team.

The Broncos are obviously in second place... at least the Peyton Manning saga is kind of interesting (though I'd like to see more interviews with guys like Decker, Thomas, & Tamme). The Giants are up there, as they should be being champions and all.

But this Jets s**t is embarrassingly out of control. The whole world is laughing at ESPN and they go on acting like they have no clue.

As 49er fans, we should be more dignified than to be desperately seeking morsels of Niner news from national media outlets.

I'll be at that game, and I'm fully expecting the 49er Defense to do exactly that.
