What is wrong with ESPN??

I'll post something later on that B.Mitch said on the radio this morning.

Let me assure you guys, the media coverage here locally has a strikingly different tone than the national media covering this story.

They are actually giving in depth interviews about Taylor. BMitch had some really good things to say, and actually called Wilbon out on the carpet.
Wish I was still local.

Nothing like it.

I think a big reason for these negative reports is that ST didnt talk to the media so they have no relationship with him and know little about him so they just recycle the stories they have from the past and unfortunately for St most of those were negative.

You still can be...sort of. Subscribe to Comcast Sports Net (CSN) if at all possible. I have been even more thankful to have this channel here in Atlanta as I've been able to watch most everything about Sean Taylor's life and his passing.

That's one of the things I really like about Brian Mitchell. He pulls no punches and tells it like it really is whether you like it or not. Look out Wilbon! :boxing:

I wanted to punch Skip Bayless in his arrogant, ignorant mouth this morning. He led off on 1st and 10 this morning talking about how he wasn't surprised about the incident and how troubled Sean was, blah blah blah. ESPN led the 6pm SportsCenter last night with a big segment about his gun incident, the spitting thing, and talking about all his problems before mentioning anything else. What a joke. I have such a love-hate relationship with that network. They have a lot of good programming, but they love to break people down. God forbid they lead with the tragedy of the whole situation. But no, lets rip his past rather than honor the man. Disgusting.

Watch the tribute video on Redskins.com and I guarantee you will cry. Make sure you have the audio on.

As for those highlighting Sean's past legal troubles, f em'. It's akin to spitting on a man's grave.

ESPN (while NFL Network continues to replay GameDay and Total Access) has been covering Sean Taylor the man (both the good and the bad) through all its platforms (tv, radio, online) all morning long.

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.

Actually, Mike Terico (sp?) is doing a very respectable job right now on ESPN Radio on Sean Taylor. He, and whoever it is on air with him, are even talking about the absurd crime rate in Miami. Terico has mentioned several times the loyalty of Redskin fans and how they fully support the team whether or not they've ever met one of the players. Good job Mike, and to some degree, ESPN Radio (except for Colin Cowturd).

You better believe these media outlets are scouring our boards to get some sense of how the fans feel.
