When they had Carter and Moss, they were winning and had controversy. Therefore, they were relevant. Carter retired and Moss was traded. Then they were irrelevant, until the "Love Boat". Then they were relevant again due to the controversy.<BR/>Once that was settled they were irrelevant until they drafted Peterson. Now they are starting to win more, even though the controversy is only starting to surface, and the media want them on national broadcasts and will talk about them.<BR/><BR/>As usual media ratings = relevancy. <BR/><BR/>Otherwise the Eastern Sports Promotional Network would have to talk about all the teams instead of just picking a few pet ones to follow (e.g., Dallas, Jets, Giants, New England, and anywhere Brett Favre is).<BR/><BR/>ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
