I'm not one to really watch those type of shows on espn, but I happened to catch a glimpse. They were talking about Jalen Ramsey saying they were going to win the super bowl. One of the guys on the show, don't know his name because I don't watch it, said well he did go to Florida State and they are not exactly Harvard. Can't stand espn but you know, when your great they hate!

There is a general northeast bias that I’ve found many people from that region of the country view southerners and southern schools below them intellectually.

ESPN doesn't hate us. These guys are paid to be smart asses. I wonder where he went to school? Harvard, Yale, MIT????

It wouldn’t surprise me if ESPN pays their people a bonus for every negative FSU statement.

I only watch their channels when there is a game on I want to see. Absolutely despise Espn and what they have become!

I would have asked what's the point of that?

In this instance the guy who said it caught some flack from the other clowns on the show for that remark, he responded that "it's okay, they're our rival."

So I suspect he's not from the northeast but rather a goater, cane, or clembo clown.

The Ron Howard doesn't make sense as a dig. Maybe if there was more context it would, but as it reads to me, it's saying one of two things:

1. They have a superstar that went to FSU, it's not like he played at Harvard, or some other ivy.

2. If they were trotting out a starting CB from Harvard they wouldn't have a shot at the SB.

Where was the dig?

Your mistake was watching sports nation. That show is hot garbage and has been since Coherd left. To be honest, it wasn’t that great then either.

I have lived in the NE my whole life and I don't think that statement is accurate at all. It isn't debatable that the NE has the greatest collection of academia in the world, but I don't think many in the NE believe themselves superior. Of course there are always subsets and exceptions.

Honestly, the NE doesn't take care of their instate students like the southern universities do. Most schools I wanted to go to I couldn't even afford.

The dig was that he wasn't smart to make the remark of beating the pats and winning the super bowl. He went to FSU so he must not be smart.

 

[Honey Fried Pickens]

SportsNation?

Is that the show with that two-oclock beauty queen Michelle Beadle?

I cant stand that woman or that show.

Gotcha... I misinterpreted your RH... That the guy said they were going to the SB, not Jalen saying that.

They get a bonus for ratings and notoriety. If that includes negativity about FSU, well then there you go.

FWIW they made all kinds of news about Richard Sherman's trash talking and made no bones about that he went to Stanford. It's not a bias to anything except ratings and $$.

I hope that you don’t sincerely believe that.
