Every fucking week ESPN puts on some fucking college football team that not many people here in New England gives a damn about, but teams that a lot of poeple in the area root for like BC are put on some crapy P.O.S station that we don't get or have to watch throught the computer (like ESPN classic, ESPN U, and ESPN 360.com) Maybe these stupid fucks should learn something from Fox called regional broadcasting.

Dont complain, East coast Red Sox and Yanks get more undeserved coverage than any other teams. the yankees sucked hard hard hard core in the begginging og the season and they got more coverge than the red hot Mariners...it bullcrap

1:The Yankees have a rich history, and always have high expectations
2:They are the Yankees
3:Dare I say, East Coast bias? (And I live in the East Coast)

The East Coast bias is due to sports fanbase being stronger out here. ESPN cashes in on that because we are more likely to turn in and when they see hot rivalry talk they stay tuned in. It's not a great thing to do, but buisness is buisness

Undeserved? I thought that TV networks wanted to make money?

Check that "Rel" column, the relative size of the media market with the median set at 100. Look, it's tough getting on the air as Pittsburgh: it's as "bad" as putting a Los Angeles team on the air is "good."

But relative to almost any other possible combination of home media markets, any Yankees game triumphs. A Mets-Braves contest offers a combined relative share of 350, but the Yankees and three different AL clubs beat that. Excluding the Eastern Divisions, the top game possible outside of Interleague play is Dodgers-Cubs at 272, but the Yankees and any other team enjoy a combined relative market share of over 272.

Look, I've got MLB EI: I'd rather that the Red Sox not play Saturday day games, particularly given my DirecTV stations' tendency always to show the Yankees or Mets to the exclusion of the Fox Red Sox game. But I can't blame those who buy the rights for attempting revenue maximization, and that comes from showing East Coast teams, particularly the Yankees.

"Begginging og"...by any chance, do you star in that new ABC "Caveman" series? ;) j/k
