[QUOTE="kuston, post: 18426, member: 223"] "No Respect" ? Are you so sure that is the root cause of the press? I'll offer an different point of view. Gambling. NFL Gambling is a multi billion dollar industry. The line on the Packers has been steadily moving this preseason towards the Packers being better then the opening line. Remember a few months ago, the line to win the division was 4-1, today its anywhere between 2.3-1 to 3-1. That's alot of money on the Packers to move the line. I'll suggest that the smart money has already been placed, and the dumb money will go down as the season starts. Now the bookies need to get alot of dumb money on the opposite side of the smart money. Just like on Wall Street, what's the best way to influence the dumb money? The talking heads. They are all for sale, pick some noisy ones and get them to chant the party line. For all of you that think this is b*llsh*t, did you knows that Pat Kirwin of NFL.com and Sirius got 40% of the agent's cut for Carson Palmer? What for you say? the agent hired Kirwin to use his influence to get Palmer to sign with the agent and then promote Palmer. Palmer was a lock for #1, what a waste of money I thought, then I got to thinking, would smart money take any chances? Kirwin has alot of contacts and is for sale, people buy into his opinion.
