What is wrong with ESPN??

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.

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.

If you do half as good a job at ESPN as you do on this website, then they are very lucky to have someone like you. Everyone is just pretty emotional right now. No disrespect to you whatsoever SS. ESPN is obviously a great network, otherwise they wouldn't have the worldwide success they've achieved. Sorry if my comments seemed harsh.

i sent to email to epsn. i went on espn.com and clicked on contact us and sent the email about the show today

I agree. ST was no choirboy and almost everything everyone knew of heard about him was negative. His turning his life around was a very recent thing and since he never talked to the media not many knew he was changing. I think that in order to understand the man the good and bad must be talked about and from what I have seen ESPN is doing a pretty good job.

SmootSmack, I'm sure it isn't personal. ESPN is the most visible portal for sports news in the world. They (you) have tried to put on up-to-the-minute Taylor information. Unfortunately, in the case of some of the on-air talent, the words have been less than comforting.

As for bashing ESPN at every turn, they're the biggest dog on the block. In "real" news media, no one cares about how slanted MSNBC is, because they're third place. Everyone cares about how slanted Fox News is, because they're in first.

Ditto that response

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.

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

I don't think I have ever trashed ESPN. That being said, I can understand why some are upset at the way ST is being portayed. I believe there is a more tasteful way of presenting this story. Dwelling on his past and harping on it to a national audience has consequences. I was reading on a couple of other teams websites yesterday and most were acting like he deserved this. The national media has portrayed this guy like a gangster so thats all the non-locals hear about. He never got the chance to show the media and the whole world that he was trying to be a better person.

ESPN is not alone in this boat folks! Everybody running this story nationally has something to say about his past.

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.
