ST was no saint. But his legacy doesn't need to be kicked around either. He wasn't a thug, he wasn't some guy who knocked off old ladies, or in some dogfight scandal. He was a guy who made a few bad decisions and then turned his life around. That's the kinda story that needs to be on the news today. Not this "He was such a thug" bullshit. The media needs to back off with that.
To be fair, Ben's crash was offseason when there was no other sports news. From a media perspective, big difference between June and November.
