Why does the media jump all over everything TO does?

[BlancoNino]

He's not the best NFL player around...he's not even the best reciever. So why? Trent Green goes to the hospital with unconscious with a concussion and Chris Simms ruptures his spleen during a game, and both of those stories combined didn't get the sort of coverage as TO accidentally overdosing.

coz hez a drama queen

 

[Smartazz]

Who knows.

 

[Queasy]

Because TO is a lightning rod that people like to read about apparently.

Cause he has a nickname. You don't calls Simms CS, or Trent TG do ya? Nope, thus no coverage. Makes the headlines to long, duh.

It gives Philly a reason to celebrate. ESPN feels bad that we have such sh!tty teams, so they make sure we hear all about our retarded ex players.

Yeah but he was even more retarded when he was a "current" player

Why do people jump all over whatever the media writes about him?
They produce what their audience wants to see.

Maybe it's because he keeps saying and doing outrageous things that get him a lot of attention.

Remember him implying Jeff Garcia was gay? Remember him standing on Dallas' star when he scored a touchdown? Remember him doing situps in his driveway? He does ridiculous things that make for good publicity, so they watch everything he does because they never know when he's going to do something stupid. Again.

ESPN turned into a gossip network that reports sports scores on the side about 3 1/2 years ago.
