And it isn't his fault. It's the media's and the fan's. Is it fair? No, but bitch I ain't fair.

I, too, hate him with a soul searing passion that is far out of proportion to his temporary existence as a football player. I, however, refuse to give him a free pass. The media and the fans may have fanned the flames and, at times, outright poured fuel on them. But he is the one who lit them in the first place with his off the field commentary and on-the-field antics.

- Sorry, his "celebrations" were taunts of his opponents and celebrations of his personal acheivement in a team game.

- In Philly, when the media showed up in droves on his driveway, did he do ANYTHING to dissuade the ensuing media circus.

- How many QB's did he throw under the bus?

- His latest sleeping and failure to prepare statements, just the kind of example I hold up for my son on how to take advantage of the gifts given to you.

On top of all that, he consistently plays the victim card as if he had nothing to do with the incredible scrutiny he has brought upon himself. He is the epitome of a poor sport and his failure to acknowledge his own selfishness enrages me.

Okay - done with my rant.
