The complexity of Sean Taylor adds to what makes all this so tragic and compelling.
Sorry if I seem harsh but I don't understand the need to bash ESPN at every turn. And maybe, definitely actually, I take it too personally. But you'd be the same if I spent my time talking about how you constantly fail at your jobs.

I don't think I have ever trashed ESPN. That being said, I can understand why some are upset at the way ST is being portayed. I believe there is a more tasteful way of presenting this story. Dwelling on his past and harping on it to a national audience has consequences. I was reading on a couple of other teams websites yesterday and most were acting like he deserved this. The national media has portrayed this guy like a gangster so thats all the non-locals hear about. He never got the chance to show the media and the whole world that he was trying to be a better person.
ESPN is not alone in this boat folks! Everybody running this story nationally has something to say about his past.
