why is the media rooting for the Saints?

Question

I mean they are giving the Bears No chance against the Saints which is crazy in my opinon. 3 weeks ago it was the Eagles the best team in the NFC now it's the Saints. And they barely beat the Eagles. Bears 37- Saints 21

Answer 1

sad to see so many bet on the loser. there are too many intangibles going in the bears favor. weather,home field, only 1 loss in the nfc all year and OUR 12th man. the way i see it the saints will br forced to throw too much in bad weather and that will spell trouble for the against a very aware secondary of the bears.

Bears 27 - Saints 17

As for the media, this reminds me of March Madness when the media singles out a achool in the NCAA tournament and POOf the school is overcoming everything and everyone roots for them. But when it comes down to it the established and accomplished teams always seem to win. So that is why i see the Bears winning this game.

Answer 2

Who says the media aren't giving the Bears a chance against the Saints?! If you watched the game the Saints played A LOT better than what the score said. The Saints are a very good team! watch out bears!

Geaux Saints!! Saints win 24-13

Oh yeah. AND the Saints had a WAY harder schedule than the Bears did! So don't talk about the records!

Answer 3

First, the Bears have an anemic offense with a QB that has done nothing but cause doubt in peoples minds with VERY erratic play. Second, the Bears defense has not played against an offense with so many weapons and will have a hard time coming up with a scheme to combat their diverse attack. Third, The Saints are riding an emotional high that will propel them past the weaker team (Da Bears) in route to the Super Bowl. Forth, Grossman is a lousy QB and he likes boys. All doubts you have about the Saints will be laid to rest after this weekend. WHO DAT.

Answer 4

We all know that sports is the primary tool to keep our nation happy and ignorant. It's our nation's opium.

My bet is that the Saints are going to win the Superbowl. It's the first year since Katrina and their stadium just finished this year, so they're going to want something that attracts attention.

It's kind of like in 2002 the Patriots magically came back with a Cinderella season to win the Superbowl. Made everyone feel all good inside after wards, and believe in the American Dream.

...just a thought. I'll be watching, even though I'm still pissed at the field goal that wasn't (oh gawd cowboys).

Answer 5

I dont know. I think that the media is rooting for the underdog story which I am sick to my stomach of hearing. I know that the City of New Orleans is going through some repairs and such but to claim that the Saints are a major representative is somewhat laughable. Most if not all of those players had insurance or can afford to rebuild and replace....

Answer 6

I would think that the only people in the country who are not rooting for the saints are fans of the other teams still alive and people who just don't like football. It's not just because of the hurricane but because they have been such a bad team for so long. Everyone loves an underdog.

Answer 7

The "Saints" stand for many things these days besides football.
When "hurricane Katrina " hit New Orleans, La. it destroyed the stadium and everything connected with the "Big Easy".

If the Saints pull it off it will be a win win situation for the team and for this great southern city that has given so much to our country as a historical town and fun city.

I think the Saints are showing they recovered and hopefully the city will bounce back only the city needs stilts for their buildings..but the players are TALL enough!

Answer 8

Could it be that there was sooo much money spent to re-cover the DOME and make repairs after ????

This money that the local government found which at the time they didn't have to help their own people but
they suddenly found to help re-build the stadium?

There is another question which I find very disturbing as to the placing of BLAME ?????

It's funny that anywhere else in the U.S.A that when a disaster happens ... most all the time ... the people of that area start almost immediately helping each other in rebuilding.

By the way..........
I hope the BEARS KICK A??

Answer 9

I swear i theory i became the only guy or woman who theory that. He became so superb, and individuals will income from that. and what's unhappy is, all he had to do became help human beings, and the individuals he helped purely harm him. He had money, and there are people who will lie, and cheat, or maybe kill for money. And regrettably, Michael encountered that many situations in his existence, no rely how difficult he tried to ward off it. Michael became considered as somebody who human beings felt would not combat back. human beings theory that because he became so superb, in the event that they made exciting of him, he would not get disillusioned or combat back. yet boy became that a marvel in 2005 suitable? He fought and gained, yet human beings nonetheless taken care of him like airborne dirt and airborne dirt and dust. or maybe after the guy has died! human beings cope with him like airborne dirt and airborne dirt and dust. yet oh properly, i assume existence isn't honest, yet a minimum of he escaped everybody. RIP Michael.

Answer 10

Americas adopted team. The media never roots for any team, they just milk the story that gets good ratings.
