ESPN creates its own demand, pure and simple.
One big reason why "people don't care" about the Saints but "people care" about Tim Tebow is because ESPN DOESN'T SHUT THE frick UP ABOUT TIM TEBOW EVER, but they selectively ignore the Saints story. Unless they're creating bogus stories about wiretapping, of course.
Seriously--do you think people out there were screaming "WE WANT STORIES ABOUT JEREMY LIN" before ESPN created "Linsanity?" 8 people outside of New York City knew who Jeremy Lin was when ESPN started shoving him down our throat.

a. bullshite
b. NYC and its metro area matters. why pander to a metro area of 1.2M when you have one of 15M, not to mention other huge metro areas with rivalries (aka, they will pay attention)

they do this b/c people do care about tebow. it's a hot topic with a liked figure on a national scale. now he's got major interest with the NY/NE market, so that's kind of a big deal
