Here's a question for our Giant-fan visitors: What do you think of the front page image and articles on the Giants-Packers on ESPN (shown below)? Do you realize the bias, or not?

From my non-East Coast point of view, here was my thought process (thinking out loud), in chronological order, as I opened the webpage:
1. Nice facemask on Woodson. Doubt it was called.
2. "Defending Champs?" Why the question? Does ESPN not know who won the SB last year? Oh... (I am a bit slow), is this questioning whether or not the Packers
deserve to be called this title? That seems a bit harsh.
3. Seifert article is about how the Packer's D sucks. Then an article about the Giant's coach. The "NYG GB" page again focuses on Coughlin. Not much for the GB fan, is there?
4. "Odds of a Giant upset"? Well, exactly equal to 1 minus the odds of a Packers win, I guess...

Hey, we work hard here to be homers. But, living on the East Coast with the media spoon feeding you this stuff... must be easy to think you are Super Bowl bound. Just ask a Jets fan. Or Eagles.
