EAST COAST BIAS

This is has been a rant of mine for quite some time. East coast or more correctly east of the mississippi media bias.
Today on ESPN's Around the Horn, The Boston Globe's ancient columnist Bob Ryan said the Arizona Cardinals were irrevelant. Granted I have detested this franchise in both cities they have represented during my lifetime, but to say a team that just last year played in the super bowl is irrevelant shows his disdain for over half our country. I find it maddening how he always speaks seriously about all teams in the east, even the Browns who haven't been revelant for over 20 years and weren't around for the whole time anyway. None of the other columnists are quite as bad as Mr Ryan. But the general bias will show its head even more during basketball season with the wealth of discussions about the irrevelant Knicks. In baseballs off season the Yankees and Sox will be a constant topic, even when they haven't made news.
Just be a national network!
