Was Dan Marino's TD record this sacred ???
Does any of this really surprise anyone?
Saints win the NFCtitle game
"Wah, overtime rules are not fair"
"Wah, they played dirty by hitting Favre."
Saints get to the Superbowl
"Wah, Saints have NO chance!" The media already planted Peyton Mannings legacy as a two time SB mvp. 95% of the coverage is all about the Colts and whether or not Freeney is gonna play.
"Wah, Vikings were the better team, it should have been Favre vs Manning."
Saints win the Superbowl
"They party too much, superbowl hangover, superbowl hangover!"
*Media couldn't wait to see the Saints fail the following year*
Brees puts up monster numbers in various seasons
"So and so means more to his team than Drew."
Brees breaks Marino's record.
"Well, its easier now than it was before but hey! Brady is 190 yards behind!"
"Wah, they ran up the score! its classes!"
The real truth is had Brees been playing for the New York Jets not a peep would be said about any of this, no column about "running up the score, etc."
