What is wrong with ESPN??

[dgack]

You guys have to remember that these are ESPN talking heads we're talking about here, guys. With all due respect, SS, how many sexual harrassment suits and stories have come from those guys? Harold Reynolds, Sean Salisbury, Mike Tirico, Berman... all of these guys have been linked to fairly skeevy "off-the-field" activities, yet they have no problem taking a holier-than-thou angle on a guy like Sean Taylor who is dead.

And, to be frank, if Sean HADN'T had a fiancee and a daughter, I can guarantee you the media reports would have been even more harsh. That's just life as an American media celebrity, though. We love to build up idols and then bring them down when they fail to perform or amuse us any longer.

Call it the gladiator mentality.
