No idea, but is it really any different than the Chargers hype every season, everything Tom Brady, and all the other examples of sports media latching onto hype, no matter how manufactured? :-)
Not to say it wasn't an extreme example, I don't watch all that shit for exactly that reason.
Regardless of the media taking it and running out of control with it, he's done a great job so far. [Reply]
I mean, it definitely doesn’t help to have a heisman caliber player on both sides of the ball out. A healthy Travis hunter maybe turns this from a humiliating blowout to a big loss. Which sounds like the same thing but it’s quite a bit different [Reply]

I get the dislike of Deion and the attention he draws, but the school estimates that he's drawn roughly $90m of free advertising value this year from all the attention. Like it or not, he's doing a fantastic job of elevating the school's brand. [Reply]
