Hilarious

Yesterday, following Tiki Barber's disclosure that he may retire at the end of the season, ESPN, having run the story for at least 60% of the half-hour ESPN news broadcast, posed the question on their website, "Who is the most underrated active running back in the NFL?" Now remember, they had just finished going nuts over a story about how Barber was thinking about retirement. I can't remember one of the three choices, but the other two were Curtis Martin, who last year had a shitball season, but the year before was being talked about as an MVP candidate after rushing for almost 1700 yards. The other guy was Barber...the player ESPN had just focused on for 60% of their broadcast and who's story tops ESPN.com's headlines...the player who was being talked about as an MVP candidate last year. Stoo. Pid. You can't pretend there isn't an east coast bias when by pretending you don't talk about New York sports.
