tone357 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I'm watching the NFL Network, and the first ten minutes aired are Rex Ryan talking about benching Mark Sanchez????? WTF, whoever is making the decision as to what goes out over the air needs to get outside New York for a while. I'm guessing the rest of the country is somewhat like me, and don't really give a phuck what's happening with the sorry azz Jets!!I know they're not going to give the Falcons any air time, but dang! Is it a slow news day in the NFL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerhead Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Now it's Andy Reid rambling on about the Eagles. And saying that Foles is the starting QB for the remainder of the season . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzummo Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Our franchise has come a really long way. It's only big news when we lose. I like that a lot better than the latter. When we used to lose, it wasn't a story because it was expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north falcon Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I'm watching the NFL Network, and the first ten minutes aired are Rex Ryan talking about benching Mark Sanchez?????It was the most important thing that happened in the NFL this weekEdit: The Jets are the biggest circus in sports today. A lot of people enjoy a good circus. They are a car wreck, they are the Jerry Springer Show, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimus*Crimes Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 It's ratings. Jets/Cowgirls/Steelers/Eagles/GB etc are big market, vast followings teams. Nature of the beast. And even though ATL is a large market, it's a lot like Phoenix. The NFL isn't number one in ATL, and a lot of people who live there aren't from there. They moved from somewhere else and brought their team with them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmer2 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 The only time we've been a constant in the media was during the Vick fiasco. Society loves bad news, you really want to go back there. Be happy that we can quietly be successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcons007 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 They have to talk about Jets,Cowgirls,Iggles and other big market teams to pay the bills. Its all about the $$$ not so much about the good teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newspapers were slow to learn, but the tabloids and the girlie and gossip magazines picked up on it way before televisons were in every household. You appeal to the rabble, you offer sex, perversion, outrageous nonsense, sensationalism, celebrity gossip and other garbage that would appeal to the very lowest in society and you'll draw lots of customers and make lots of money.

thanat0s Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 It does not matter what the records are, the media is going to spend an inordinate amount of its time talking about the New York teams, the Eagles, Patriots, Steelerss, Bears, Packers and even the Saints because of their mancrush on them since Katrina. Of course the granddaddy of them all is the Cowboys, who could go 0-16 five years straight and they'd still spend half the show talking about them.

phattywankenobi Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 What were they suppose to talk about that happened after Thursday? Maybe they could talk about the Falcons steam rolling the Panthers I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdogg Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Well they are about to talk about the teams that are currently locks for the playoffs and which one is most vulnerable. I'm sure we will top that list...SMH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdogg Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 And just like I predicted, we top that list. We re the most vulnerable cause we win close games as opposed to losing close games like the rest of the playoff teams. SMH...ESPN is a joke.

4LoveoftheGame Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Fired Coaches of 2012Jason Garrett - Completely agree, should have been gone last seasonRex Ryan - I think he gets another season if he wins a couple more games, but GM is goneRomeo Crennel - agreePat Shurmer - Browns showing positive signs, if that continues he will get another yearNorv Turner - Completely agree, should have never been head coach againChan Gailey - might get another season with a couple more winsAndy Reid - his time as come, agreedSean Peyton - I wish, but he will be backAlso on possible firings:Dennis Allen, Raiders - That team is just horribleLeslie Fraiser, Vikings - Had a better year than expected but have completely failed at the end.Ron Rivera, Panthers - I think he is gone for sureKen Whisenhunt, Cardinals - could be the surprise firing. Usually at least one Surprise.Marvin Lewis, Bengals - could also be the surprise if the Bengals fail to make the playoffs and do not reach at least 9-7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've still got a really good shot at the playoffs and that ownership has in previous seasons been satisfied with alot less. I think its more about having a stable product over there than it is about winning. As long as ESPN doesn't rile the fan base up enough to call for his head they probably won't touch em.
