Instead of talking about the same 5 teams 24-7? I'm pretty sure people are sick of hearing about the redskins and broncos and jets and cowboys and colts. How about some parody?:noidea:

Or maybe if the Cowboy franchise was as historically pathetic as south alaska's team? :noidea:


Seattle fans aren't avid sports fans, so why pander to them? When OKC has better fans than your city, you got problems doodyboobs

Nice try but you are wrong,Sonic's ownership wanted far too much and we just built the M's field and CLink,the Coliseum was refurbished but they wanted a whole new arena right where all those owners bought blocks of property,,all the while having the city foot the bill for building it and maintaining so billionares can sit in box seats,screw that.

I used to go to Sonics games a long time ago even saw the Globetrotters Meadowlark Lemon at the Coliseum and yes i remember the when the Sonics won the championship,"Downtown" Freddy Brown Gus Williams,Jack Sikma,Lonnie Shelton,,,all those memorys but still i said no way to what the Sonics owners wanted and still do.

I don't necessarily enjoy ESPN's analysis, but they're trying to run a television network. They're going to talk about teams/players that are going to draw eyes to television sets and clicks to their articles online.

The NFL is a popular league, and they talk about some of the most popular teams and players in the league.

NFL is trying hard to retain viewers,the current younger demographics do not watch as much.

By the way and slightly off topic NBA viewership has been dropping for years,started right after Jordan retired.

Congrats, I bet you had your choice of seats. Your sports are still a joke, so why pander to your fans?

I dont get where you are going here? My sports? Sounders are fine,no they are great so are the Seahawks or have you been living in a cave? Mariners are ok too.

As far as seats yeah they were affordable back then,now? yeah right have you been to an NBA game lately? add parking etc and a family of four it is a few 100$ now a days.

Just like ESPN only talks about the Heat, Lakers, and Bulls. The Yankees, Dodgers, and Red Sox.

I said historically they have been bad. Win some championships and be relevant for a while and networks will give you more air time. You give air time to teams with big fan bases. Dallas, SF, and the NE teams come to mind. Ranger fans don't bitch that NYY get more air time, we have sucked for so long that we have to put in our time being relevant before we start getting more highlight time.

I have been to NBA games lately. Doesn't cost more than $25 to park and get in the door on a mid level seat in Dallas. Concessions and beer push that way up though.

He he so more airtime equates to winning? is that what you think? then i have a bridge to sell you,it has to do with market,larger market for yah know those things called commercials,that yah know pay for the airtime etc.

You honestly think people want to watch the Cowboys as much as we are forced to watching them? c'mon man.

Yes and the eastcoast everyone is forced to watch listen to the antics like the jet's drama over the last two years and Tebow OMG.

Edit: Wait you telling me a family of four can go to an NBA game for under say 200$? what nose bleed seats lol.

So you don't think a market grows with success? And no, I said winning equates to more air time. I guess you think TV stations think they can force people to watch? They put the teams on TV that people want to watch.

Lmao! Parody is right when it comes to Skins Coverage, tho our franchise certainly doesnt help itself much. It's beyond belief. Just as excessive as the coverage of Griff was last year. Its no wonder everyone, including skins fans, are sick of it.

Looking at half the stuff on TV say's otherwise,,no? :laugh3:

From what i have read people want more games from different teams,many fans are tired of the same teams year in and out,shit i have seen more Dallas games and NE GB i want to poke my eye's out over the last 30 plus years and i know i am not alone winning record or not.
