Blame ESPN.
Who's the better receiver, T.O. or Marvin Harrison?
Who gets more airtime?
ESPN rewards poor behavior.

Marvin Harrison also hasn't ripped his QB, got traded, tried to kill himself etc.

Like it or not, Marvin's just not as newsworthy.

I'd say its douches who agree with this who make it the problem. Think about what newsworthy means.

I can see where Dids is coming from, and I think using the term "douche" is a little strong. Media do tend to have sensationalist bias, and TO certainly does more sensational stuff. In all, it's about what gets the fans' attention, and like it or not TO wearing a Discovery Channel bike suit while on the stationary bike at practice gets more attention than Marvin being his quiet self and having productive preseason practices.

I guess life is not fair.

EDIT: typo.
