I hate hate HATE that logic from fans. There is no such thing as "under the radar" in the NFL. Teams have and use a full week of scouting and practice to game plan vs you regardless of how much ESPN, NFLN, FS1, CBS or FOX pregame shows talks about you.
So all things being equal on that end, I'd prefer it to see my team talked about on major sports networks that I'm watching. Even if it's 1/4 as much as they talk about the big market "ratings draw" teams like Dallas/NY/NE/Pitt. Especially when they do good things, like kill ANOTHER draft, or start the season 8-0, cause we all know how much press we get when bad things happen...
(Naturally, I'm not picking on YOU solely and if that part of your post is sans-ninja, then I apologize for not recognizing the sarcasm)
