East Coast Bias
No one really cares what the heck the Giants do. Face it, Giants fans, it's a sad but true fact. There is a definite East Coast Bias, and you only have to turn on your TV to prove it. I'll bet in July, on a typical TV sports talk show like Around the Horn or Pardon the Interruption, you'll find more New York Giants stories than San Francisco Giants stories, sans the Barry Bonds media circus. Case in point: just this year, on June 28, Mark Teixeira hit a ball that should have been called fair and won the game, but was instead called foul. On the radio version of SportsCenter on the postgame show, that game, which should have been the top story, was instead the 12th—twelveth!—game mentioned. That's why you head to the blogosphere for real sports stories.
