Quote:That's awful.  As a Browns fan I can sympathize.  It's getting me all riled up.  It's very irritating the way the national sports media treats the "smaller" markets.

 

The national sports media has a very big market focus, and always has, and it's fairly understandable.  The big markets provide the ratings and the money that keeps these media folks in business.  The further down the list a media market is, the less influence it's going to have in how stories are framed. When you're at or near the bottom of that list the way the Jags are, there's a complete disregard for accurate reporting.  One outlet may go out and research a story, and the rest of the hacks just jump on that bandwagon to save time.  In the end, we see lousy reporting and misinformation about this franchise based on impressions generated several years ago.

 

It's something we should be used to by now, but it still amazes me just how little effort some in the media put into reporting on this team.
