Sorry, but all the networks devoted a heck of a lot more coverage to the TO attempted suicide and Ben R's. motorcycle crash than they have to Sean's MURDER.

True. But TO is also a well known pain in the ass. So his suicide was almost like a media frenzy waiting to happen.

But I think ST deserves more than Big Ben I mean Big Ben's accident was his own stupidity. ST did nothing more than protect his loved ones and paid the ultimate price for it.

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.

And I don't remember a "tribute" talking about his spitting on Deangelo Hall..
