Quote:The NFL, despite measures put in to help create a level playing field, big market teams still rule...and don't let it fool you - the NFL wants it this way....its no "coincidence" that the Jaguars never get good air time by the networks and coverage - they save that for the big market moneymaking teams. 

 

There's no real "parity". 

 

The only reason small markets like Pittsburgh and Green Bay are tolerated/ endorsed even is because those teams have built up such a following. If those markets had teams like the Jags without the "history" and fanfare,,,,they'd be getting similar treatment, too. 

 

You say some of the dumbest things.

 

Which big market teams that don't have a storied history, get special treatment from the networks because they are a big market? Start naming these teams/cities you are talking about.

 

Ever think that maybe the teams that are winning get the attention? Seattle is a perfect example, remember when the Rams were good?

 

You are doing nothing more than making statements about your perception, and pick two teams from small markets that are popular as examples. Let's see how many games Pittsburgh plays in primetime next season if they don't turn it around this year.

 

Broncos, Redskins, Falcons, 49ers, Giants, Patriots all have 5 primetime games this season because of their success last season. ... I thought you knew how these things worked. I thought wrong. :yes:
