Mmmmm, pretty sure they still will.
It will be the usual recipe: 10 minute segment of "Bengals are clearly struggling right now, just not very good, Burrow's injury, Chubb being out..."
Do you mean the running back Nick Chubb, who recently sustained a nasty injury and is out for the rest of the season? He is under contract with the Browns, not the Bengals.
And the last 10 seconds will be: "Oh yeah, the Seahawks won apparently, I guess. Whatever. Next up! 49ERS and COWBOYS CIRCLE JERK! Back in 30 seconds!!"
That kind of stuff used to bother me a lot. When I was on the Seahawks fan site with the silly name (I left in 2020 and came here), I would lament being a fan of a team from "South Alaska" and having to endure the way mediots treated the team.
Now I don't let popularity contests like "power rankings" (or PFF grades, which are the same thing) bother me. I wish I could say it's something I actively sought to change about myself and managed to change, but it's not. I have no idea
why those things don't bother me as much now. They just don't.
Mind you, I still really dislike Troy Aikman and Joe (Dum)B(f)uck, but I dislike them even when the game they're ruining doesn't involve the Seahawks. I
do notice the way they treat Seahawks success as failure by the other team and that they fail to understand basic things about the Seahawks in a way that makes it look like they're doing it intentionally, because it seems like nobody with the kind of access they have could be
that ignorant, but it still just doesn't bother me as much as it used to. Monday night, I was trying to focus on the game, so my computer was in sleep mode, but there was a time just a few years ago when I would have fired it up and posted angry comments about the way the announcers were slighting the Seahawks. Instead, I just chuckled and shook my head.
