Bammers - Why Do the Media Hate Alabama?

There is a strong media bias against their favorite team in the minds of some fans, but is that only because they don’t always hear what they want to from sports broadcasters who are paid to share their opinions, even if they’re critical of a given team?

Guests: Tim Brando, Paul Finebaum, Dan Wolken, Richard Deitsch.
