wheels150 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 So I'm still really upset about Tim Graham leaving the AFC East blog & even more upset about how they've not replaced him with anyone with real substance & knowing of the AFCE teams. Two lines about N. Barnett and videos of plax to jets. Even the ESPN SPORTS NATION POLL reads: Who will win the AFC East...then goes on to list the JETS and PATS. WTF ESPN. You weren't always great, but now you f---in blow. I sent them about 5 misc. emails about how upset I am of they're lack of respect and coverage of anyone that is not NE/NYJ and have decided to continue EVERYDAY untill this is rectified. Contact Info is at the bottom of the homepage and if any of you want to let them know how bad they're hockey coverage sucks too that'd be awesome. Or I'll get there eventually. IT'S ABOUT RESPECT!!! JOIN THE CAMPAIGN!! F U ESPN F U UP YOUR STUPID A--ES!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding ESPN, they pander to their biggest markets and it's been that way forever. If you must protest, why not do it by just taking your business elsewhere?

nucci Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Why not just go to CBS Sports or NFL.com and ignore ESPN? That's what I do. Why get so worked up? There are other choices out there. I haven't been to their site in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I love ESPN and will continue to read and watch it daily. The positives far outweigh the negatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyC81 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I love ESPN and will continue to read and watch it daily. The positives far outweigh the negatives. Right. Is there another network that covers sports 24 x 7 with continuous updates of all sports?? Maybe in another country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan74 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I don't watch ESPN anymore, NFLN for NFL coverage. I can see them not focusing on the Bills but it's the all Jets, Eagles,and Pats network theses days. GB won the SB and get no coverage this year. C'mon man.

Dirtbag Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 dude, while i applaud your enthusiasm, you have to accept the fact that the bills have dwelled among the dregs of the nfl for years and years and years. as such, they are undeserving of being included in that poll. this won't change until they actually start winning. i'm fairly confident the bills would be embraced by espn and others if they actually turned it around and started winning, especially against the likes of rex and bill. david v. goliath and all that.

clancynut Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 It is a little surprising that a media outlet like ESPN cannot find a replacement for Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Exactly. Respect is earned, not given. It's not respect, it's ratings. Winning teams in NY and Boston equal advertising dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in My Blood Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I don't watch ESPN anymore, NFLN for NFL coverage. I can see them not focusing on the Bills but it's the all Jets, Eagles,and Pats network theses days. GB won the SB and get no coverage this year. C'mon man. I was watching a live broadcast of "back to football" on NFL network. Jason LaCanfora was doing an update of recent news and signings from the "man cave" and failed to mention the Barnett signing. It didn't piss me off just because I'm used to it, but F them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills1960 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I agree, but it's been the same way for years. The only way we're going to get attention from ESPN is if we're really good, which we haven't been for a while. Although, it does seem dumb that a poll asking who will win the division doesn't have all of the teams on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clancynut Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 How cool would it have been to have today's technology (the Internet, NFLN, Facebook, Twitter, Smartphones) 20 years ago when the Bills were at the top of the NFL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreReed83 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Why would they cover a team who hasn't been to the playoffs in over a decade? Why doesn't ESPN cover the Pittsburgh Pirates more than the Yankees and Red Sox? Dam them all !! Give me a break dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benderbender Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 ESPN has been like that for a long time now. That and the 3 second sportcenter game highlights inserted about 45 minutes into the show after they've recapped the major market teams twice.
