This is why they promote Dallas and Pittsburgh so much. All those “fans” that started loving them back in the 70s/90s depending on the team.

Another thing of interesting note is that Andy Dalton went from small market Cincy to being the starting QB for the Cowboys and now the Bears.  Those are two of the biggest markets in the NFL, and yet far more media love is being sent to Cleveland, Buffalo, Tampa Bay, and Kansas City.

Is the media sleeping on Cincy?  Possibly, but we've had 5 losing seasons in a row so it's hard to blame it on the size of our market.
