	The comment about "No respect" brings to mind an observation 
I have made over the years.  It seems to me that many fans get accustomed
to hearing commentary from "homers", announcers paid by the home team
who often pass over the line to "tout".  This point of view gets confused 
with reality so that any commentary by a network announcer appears 
"biased" against their team.  A coworker complains without fail whenever 
the Chargers or Padres are on national TV that the announcing is slanted 
against San Diego.  At times I have really thought that the opposite was 
true.  A suggestion to turn down the sound and listen to the local "tout" 
on the radio of course doesn't solve the problem of the perceived "lack-
of-respect" by the national media for the local team.
