You can do no wrong!!!

*McFadden can do no wrong becuase of his talent...
I know I do a lot of articles on Sportscenter, but it is the main location for a majority of sports news throughout the country. Each Sunday they do a spot called the “Sunday Conversation.” This week we heard from star college running back Darren McFadden. McFadden has all the talent in the world, but can’t seem to keep out of trouble off the field. He is entering the draft this year and is expected to go in the top 5 if not higher, but every team is having their doubts because of his troubles of the field. The interviewer was awful. He gave McFadden a free pass for all of the things he had done. McFadden might have 4 or 5 illegitimate children that he isn’t paying child support on. He has been in 3 or 4 bar fights in the past 6 months. What is the media trying to accomplish with this? If you are a quality athlete then you are free to do whatever you wish? I am not for chastising the guy, but getting details on how he has lived his live isn’t the most unfair thing I have ever heard of. I think some of the people who do these interviews get star struck and can’t ask the tough questions. I just hope the media gets a clue as to what they are portraying as good and bad.
