Yup. The vast majority of it is to push what they deem important into a super-story that they can analyze everyday that people will eat up. Ex: Tiger Woods drama, Brett Favre drama, LeBron James hate, and Tim Tebow worship. They beat the living tar out of these stories until they're talked about non-stop. Which is why you hear about Tebow in Sportscenter, in PTI, in Jim Rome, in whatever shit skeletor Skip Bayless is on. Basically, it's coverage of the same thing every hour to get it ingrained into your consciousness so you'll discuss it with your friends, co-workers, or even here. And look how well it works.
They still have some coverage on sports. Baseball Tonight and College Gameday being two main ones. But the majority of their focus and programming is towards sports-related interest stories, most notably in major media markets. If you want to see more than a highlight and two stat lines from a Diamondbacks game, you're going to the wrong place. If you want to see more than you could ever fathom on Tim Tebow or LeBron James, you're going to the right place.Comment

More polls
According to a telephone survey conducted Tuesday by the website Poll Position, 43.3 percent of people believe Tebow's accomplishments on the field can be attributed to divine intervention.
The poll surveyed 1,056 people, and of the 756 who said they were familiar with Tebow, roughly 327 of them said they believe God plays a role in the second-year NFL quarterback's success.
Only 42.3 percent of those familiar with Tebow said divine intervention does not play a role in Tebow's success (14.4 percent gave no opinion), meaning there are more respondents who do believe Tebow is receiving a little extra help than there are who don't.
The 18- to 29-year-old demographic was the most likely to believe that Tebow's accolades are a result of divine intervention, at 52.3 percent, followed by the 45- to 64-year-old age group (47.9 percent), the 30- to 44-year-old age group (38.1 percent) and respondents ages 65 or above (30.9 percent).
The poll also found that women were more likely than men to believe that God is a Broncos fan, with 46.4 percent of female respondents saying yes, as opposed to 40.6 percent of men.
When it comes to party affiliation, 54.2 percent of Republicans said they believe God plays a role in Tebow's success, as opposed to 38.2 percent of Democrats and 35.1 percent of independents.
And among ethnic groups, Latino respondents proved to be the biggest believers, with a whopping 81.3 percent saying they believe God helps Tebow and the Broncos succeed. 59.5 percent of black respondents and 38.3 percent of white respondents also said yes.

Just shows you how backwards most Americans are. Like God(if it exists) gives a flying fuck about football.Comment

Maybe my math is wrong but isn't that 42.3% vs 43.3%? Not really a landslide...

Well I was wondering why there would be an article for something like that because I personally expected it to be this way. People are stupid and there are of course a lot of religious people in the United States who are sports fans. I mean, the reason the Cowboys had a hole in their roof was so God could watch his favorite football team right?Comment
