I actually used to wonder why TSN seemed to constantly downplay the Stamps when I figured they'd be boasting about the year to year success of our franchises and how well run our organization is.

Where as they would almost leave us out of the conversation and talk about how team so and so may be a force this season, so "keep your eye on them!" when it was teams you'd look at and go "these guys might be a force? Based on what?. Now I realize it was never a grudge or incompetence by the analysts - of course they know a contending team that will roll through most of the season when they see it - it was likely a mandate in meetings;

"Hey guys, ratings are way down, the only parity in the league right now is the race for the bottom of the standings, do whatever you can to keep as many team's fans watching as you can. Leave the Stamps out for the most part, everyone knows what they are, but don't hold them and the Esks up above the heep of garbage too much or people will see this and tune out this year".
