Pit Post-Gazette not giving Cardinals their due?

[WildBB]

This headline could be construed as a slight to the team. #1

"Steelers facing tall order with Fitzgerald and Co." ???

 

[Spielman]

That's a slam?

Only if you do some pretty serious mental gymnastics.

I didn't see a negative comment in that article.

I missed the slight as well.

It seems like they both have vacuums on the end of their wrists," said McFadden, referring to Fitzpatrick and Boldin, who played with McFadden at Florida State. "Whenever the ball comes in that area, no matter how difficult the catch might look, they make it."

Pretty good article and pretty good screw up.

Pretty good article and pretty good screw up.

I'm not reffering to the article about Fitz or Boldin. Just the eastern media's propensity to belittle this Cardinals team by not giving THE TEAM it's due.

The headline reads Fitz & Co. - like the rest of the team is just along for the ride.

Anyway it could have read - Arizona Cardinals, Fitgerald... so and so.

I just don't see that much as a slight, just like the others.

I don't see it as a slight at all. Fitz is the team's best player. It's not a surprise or a slam on anybody else for them to talk about that.

i think that is a huge reach --

There are plenty of knocks being made on our team out there. The best one is we are a touchdown underdog. We don't need to be stretching innocent headlines into some kind of affront.

Not when the eastern based media gives this team no respect. "Worst team ever" , "they have no chance in Carolina'" , "Philly will dismantle them".
Anyway carry on. : #1

Point taken. Carry on. No biggie.

Headlines are written by different people than the ones that write the actual articles. A lot of time they are limited in the space they are allowed.

Just an FYI.

One of the funniest and smartest posts I've seen.

Clicked on the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette link and noticed this picture as an advertisement on the page...

It's been a strange ride, but all the signs keep pointing to a Big RED Championship!

The Vegas line has nothing to do with the better team, but with who's receiving the most bets. The Steelers historically always receive a lot of bets their way, even when they aren't playing so well. As a result, the oddsmakers always have to tilt the line more heavily towards the Steelers in order to attract voters towards the other team. If the Steelers didn't have this type of betting history, you would probably see the line be somewhere around 2-2 1/2.
