Apparently we did not get the memo that you are now just covering the Saints. <end e-mail>If you go to the NFC South Blog on ESPN right now there is about 25 stories on the Saints with almost nothing on the other three teams. I know the Saints are a BIG story in the NFL right now but Pat is totally blowing off the other three teams.....I hope he gets the message - let him know.proof I'm not exaggerating: Pat Yasinkas Blog 12/02Right now as of 12/02 at 4:03pm - 25 out of the last 29 blogs from Pat Yasinkas were about the Saints. Amazing!!! 86% coverage goes to one team. Edited December 2, 2009 by g-dawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slamee101 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Call him a frontrunner, but the reality is...we're coming to the end of the season. The Bucs are officially eliminated from playoff contention, the Panthers are all but dead, and we're hanging on by a thread. Falcons fans might not like it, but it's going to take a lot more than 1 game over .500 and a win over the Bucs to make us relevant again.

He should be doing his job no matter how bad the other teams are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Yas is a good writer and I don't think he dislikes the Falcons - on the contrary he has been complimentary - especially of Matt Ryan and Falcons coaching staff.Having said that, Do your freaking job Pat!!!

Bring It Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I guess that's what happens when you accomplish 11-0.Everyone else in your Div. is just background noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

califalcfan Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Haha. Great email and it is very true. Sure, the Saints look like the most dominant team in the NFL, but as the NFC South blog writer, he needs to be writing for all teams, regardless of how they are doing.

Voice of Reason Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 The way I view it, Pat is an admitted Panther's fan. For this reason, he wants to avoid having to cover anything to do with them for it forces him to face the reality of their situation. As for the reason why he's ignoring us and the Bucs, I'm still working on that. I'll get back to you later. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theonenotthe2 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Last year, most of the articles covered the Panthers and Falcons who were winning. This year, the Saints are undefeated so there is no way he would not cover them.When you are supporting the team being covered because you're winning, you do not think about the lack of articles directed at the other teams who are not successful. I think last year, most of you loved Pat. Heck, this preseason when the majority of his articles were about Matt Ryan and the Falcons. But the Saints are hot, and that's what Pat's attention is going to be on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part Pat does talk about everyone else but this week the Saints are a huge topic and rightfully so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
