I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this? ESPN absolutely gives the Hawks ZERO love. NFL Network on the other hand has completely come around. The analysts on NFL Network even love the HAwks.
On NFL network you have Deon (claims this is the best secondary ever assembled, even though he is the best corner who has ever played the game), Marshall Faulk used to be negative, but has done nothing but praise and heap love on the HAwks since the superbowl victory, and of course you have Michael Irvin who cannot stop gushing.
On the other hand you have ESPN, the polar opposite. They will not stop hating on the Hawks. Of course you have Skip Bayless and STeven Smith, who picked against the Hawks in every single playoff game. Ron Jawarski with his constant hate on Russell Wilson and the "random QB." Hoge, the guy who always picks against them. Just to put the ESPN hate in full view, on First Take yesterday they had 3-4 guys picking their top 5 biggest value contracts. Of course you would expect Sherman and Russell, both playing for $500k to be on the list. One guy had Russell and one guy had Sherman. But all had the Saints tight end above both. Then one guy said: "I was thinking about putting Russell on their since he only makes $500k, but then I though, he is not really a franchise QB, so I didn't include him." The entire show was about how Luck/Newton are so great, without a mention about Wilson.
I've noticed some major love on NFL Network and some major HATE on ESPN when it comes to the Hawks.
