If that's their job then they are terrible at it.
Kansas City, Pittsburgh, and Green Bay have been media darlings for years now, and are routinely praised. When Peyton was in Indy they were similarly regarded. I'd look for Buffalo to start to get more and more benefit of the doubt as we move forward (if they stay successful).
Meanwhile the Jets have been ripped for years. The Cowboys and Jerry Jones have been the butt of many jokes. Washington, Chicago, Detroit, etc. All of these teams have seen their shots, and rightfully so. Philly and Howie Roseman have been the league's laughingstock in terms of the draft recently.
I'm sorry, but the small market and big market thing drives me absolutely nuts. That goes for media coverage and for chance of success.
The fact of the matter is that the media is complimentary of successful teams and will occassionally crap on the unsuccessful teams. Market size has nothing to do with it.
