Are Pats and normal dynasty teams just pissed because ESPN and the sporting networks are nut hugging 2 small market teams in Denver/Seattle at the moment? I don't get it.
The moment some major sporting sites named Seattle and Denver SBOWL favorites, it seems like the hate was on. Now I get that... I naturally want my team to beat a team that's an SBOWL favorite and they have a mark on them... but wtf does that have to do with the fanbase?

Shark, I'm glad you pointed out and agreed about the media coverage Seattle is getting. There was a lotta complaining going on earlier about, 'no respect', 'media love' and 'east coast media bias' from your fan base. Welcome to the microscope and all the love/hate that comes with it.
I had mentioned in a thread that ESPN has a bias to the large markets AND winning teams. That's what they do. Its about dollars and winning stories. Basic economics. Fan bases of teams that get lots of media coverage do not fly under the radar. You're team is one of those teams this year and your fan base will get a lot of attention as a result, deserved or not.
