From the look of the comments, the average football fan doesn't even know the basics (like Brady not even being at the game) and eating this fake shit right up.
Absolutely, it was my first thought on the subject (haven't listened to it yet).... you could see it in the 2nd Patriots run because the first was pre-social media.
They were crazy disrespected around here 5-10 years ago and of course with all the cheating allegations, Brady is just a system QB, etc. It'll be the same for every dynasty for now on.... a loud, obnoxious minority crying about cheating, rigging games, etc. [Reply]

East Coast media bias is a very real thing. [Reply]

You are implying Cincinnati is higher in the caste system which is absolutely laughable. [Reply]

That is because anyone can make media for people to follow whether they are stupid, smart, misinformed, or just making it for shock value. We have so much information we don't know who to turn to for the truth. [Reply]

It’s also why it’s hard to find quality Chiefs content on YouTube. Most of it is ridiculous clickbait. [Reply]
