Or MSNBC or CNN. Love how u liberals like to pretend you're better than Neo Cons. Fox is garbage but CNN and MSNBC are "real journalism" right? gimme a break. All the big news outlets are bought and paid for, just like both political parties. This includes the liberals precious Obama.


These big corporations that claim to be "news" are all biased. It bugs the hell out of me when ppl call out fox and not the others.



Back to the point tho, What about Soap and RayMac? Soap has made people forget all about Franklin and RayMac has been living in the backfield all season.

I've never understood why conservatives attempt to lump CNN in with MSNBC or Fox.

When you refer to "nebulous criteria" are you referring to the completely made up numbers in your post?

Frank Gore = 782 yards, 5 TDs, 4.9 YPC
Ray Rice = 532 yards, 6 TDs, 4.0 YPC

Thanks for playing.

I was looking at that and was scratching my head because i thought just a couple games ago Rice only had just over 300 lol besides his two games over a 100 yds rushing his best game was 81 yds against the Lambs

The only thing they have in common is that they are bogus. They just get paid by different sides is all.

I've never seen conservatives lump them together. And if u are referring to me as a conservative, u r greatly mistaken.

Ah, I gotcha. Even so, that has a tendency of happening when one guy is targeted 56 times in the passing game, whereas the other is targeted 22 times. It's an apples to oranges comparison. We don't run much in the way of screens for our RBs, and the Ravens do.

I actually think almost anybody from the Niner front 7 could be considered a top player right now.

Eastern Sports Programming Network. If it's west of the Mississippi they don't know a thing about it.

A very mixed up fan:

Yikes! This is the WebZone. How 'bout we stick to football.

I don't think it's just ESPN. I think it's more territorial than anything else. All of the networks have always been on the east coast. And, there has always been bias for eastern and midwestern teams. It's always about the New York teams. When the Niners played the Dolphins at the end of the '84 season, nobody picked the Niners. They all thought Marino was going to tear the Niners apart. Nobody picked the Niners in '81. They all felt the huge Bengals running backs would break the Niners down. One of the most shocking football series I've ever witnessed was that goal line stand in the 81 Superbowl. The Bengals had a 260 pound back for cryin out loud. It was obvious to everyone that they were going to pound it in. The east coast sportscasters were absolutely flabbergasted.

Ray Rice has been having a pretty good season, I would've liked to see one of our OL there though.

Willis at 9
Justin Smith at 10

And on the just missed

Carlos Rogers and Frank Gore which is bs, both have been all-pro/pro bowl seasons.

And 10 up and coming stars

Bowman is one of them, Iupati is just missed. and lol Von Miller but no Aldon Smith. What a joke. He has had a much better yr and Von was benched.

But anyway there ya go.

Would there be any negative consequence if you were to just give us your espn insider username and password? lol, just sayin...

what stops you from posting the whole list?

In fact, what stops anybody with Insider to post the full articles on a personal website for anyone to see? I dont get how ESPN would track that.
