MEDIA WATCH

• When Redskins safey Sean Taylor died, the mainstream media blamed the death on him being black, young, and a thug. They said he was a product of his environment and it was an expected death. Why am I not surprised that the media did not say the same things about actor  Heath Ledger who died a few days ago?  Why won't the press say they saw this death coming and that he had what was coming to him? Double standard once again! 
• Fox Sports reporter Pam Oliver was called a liar  by Donovan McNabb  earlier this season after Oliver reported that McNabb was ready to leave the Eagles. Howie Long supported Oliver by saying Oliver is attractive and not a liar.  What does being attractive have to do with being  trustworthy? Howie needs to stop talking nonsense. 
• Tiger Woods needs to step up and stop acting like a wimp. The journalists make racially insensitive comments about him and he blows it off like it is nothing. He needs to be  more socially responsible and take action. Show some pride Tiger. It appears he cares more about his endorsements than anything else and chooses to stay politically correct. He would get more respect if he spoke up and took a stand. What's next? A reporter makes fun of his Asian heritage and Tiger says it's nothing?
• I am sick of these sports anchors and reporters who don't know anything about sports. You see them every night on your local newscast. If you can't pronounce the names of athletes,  you obviously have no clue about what you are talking about.

 

Redskins Player Sean Taylor Dies From Gunshot Wound

Sean Taylor has died. He was only 24. There is a lot of irresponsible journalism going on with the media with this story. The writers continue to talk about his so-called troubled past in their articles.

You won't hear any of that here. Taylor was a great player and one of the hardest hitters and best safeties in the league. He was developing as a complete player who could knock you out with a big hit or play excellent coverage on the ball.

The first time I saw Taylor play was when he was in college playing for Miami. I knew he would be a first round draft pick in the NFL after watching him play a few games. He had the speed and talent along with his ability to hit hard and strike fear into receivers.

Taylor was the one player on the Redskins defense that they could not afford to lose. Due to an injury, he had not played the last few weeks. Without him, the Redskins had lost their last few games. Taylor had a lot of friends on and off the field and he will be missed by both his friends and family.
