It just pisses me off when we get the love fest for Mara and all day coverage from ESPN and what not but little for Lamar.
Here is some links to educate you:

The reason Mara gets more run than Hunt is he was there first and was there longer. Mara lived in the city with his team, Hunt was a visitor on game day. Hunt made strong contributions to the entity that Mara and his peers built. Your homerism is showing through big and loud when you say things like 'Mara didn't make near the contributions Hunt did'.
This is a KC board so you certainly have the right to your narrow and homerish view but you should recognize it for what it is. The rest of the country is more balanced thus the media coverage when Mara took the dirt nap was much more extensive than when hunt cornered that Great Silver Market in the sky.
