Most overexposed team in sports?

By "overexposed" I don't mean "net support."

The equation would look something like:

media exposure
success (or "deservedness")

And the highest ratio would be the "most overexposed."

If that's the case, you might consider the Fighting Irish...a dreadful team which nonetheless managed to get national exposure for finishing out the season with a couple of wins against some tomato cans.

is that a problem ? I would think it an ADVANTAGE :D

Seriously,the Media (for ALL the pros & cons) work a simple process - their aim is too HIT the maximum of POTENTIAL readers/watchers & in sports there is a hierachy of WHO & WHAT sells.... teams' like Cowboys/Patriots/Sox/Cubs & Yankees all have a HUGE fan base - so it logical they get more coverage than say Kansas City or Pittsburgh.

It also helps that certain teams have extra-sport "storied" athletes such as Romo/Owens in Dallas but also A-Rod (his contract/his Divorce & his "female" friends ;) ) Jeter & Brady without forgetting Mr Ocho WHO alone sells the Bengals more than the REST of the roster combined!
