re: ESPN is funny

False.
First of all, if anything, ESPN is biased toward the SEC in college football. By the way, which is the winningest college football team in recent years? In basketball, they only started talking about the Celtics last year when they were (gasp!!!) damned good. The Lakers/Celtics final was a boon to all of the media, because it was two top teams. The Sox and the Yankees have been battling for the top seed in the AL for years now, and yes, all of these teams have appeal to the most viewers (which is a factor), but ESPN does NOT show favoritism to them.
What's funny is all of the people who have an inferiority complex on this board...

to me their biased toward certain teams because of their tradition, hoopla, you know fanfare, star power, whatever, and those teams represent that, they love the SEC as a whole like you said, but because it is the premeir football conference in the land, if it wasn't they wouldn't be all over the SEC like they are, and if you notice out of all the SEC schools who do they hype the most? I'll tell you- Fla, I wonder why, LSU has won as many NC's as them.
but I forgot ESPN hates LSU.

Only for the past year, and it might have just a tiny bit to do with a certain enormous contract signed by a certain conference and a certain tv station. "This USC team is the greatest college football team ever assembled"...blah, blah, blah. UT and LSU disagree.

So did the media love for boston start after they had accumulated all those wins? Even while in last place the Celts get play...BECAUSE ITS BOSTON AND ESPN IS IN NEW ENGLAND! Makes perfect business sense to me. Not even addressing the LAkers. Cowboys and Lakers are always the favorite soap opera. When was their last title again?

I'll give you the Sox. Great team and consistency. The Yankees have not been relevant this century have they? Its all about the hype and drama.

If the large majority of airtime =/= favoritism, then you are abolutely right.

Again, its a private business that can prop up whoever they want. I don't care who the rat shows bias for, I'm just not naive enought to believe it doesn't exist.
