From ES:

Right, so I did some researching and 11 out of the past 13 (now 13 of the past 15) blurbs have been related to Big Ben's crash. So I emailed them saying,

Quote:
Hey guys,
I love your site and have been frequenting it for the
past two or three years. As a loyal fan I just thought
I would let you know that the past couple of days have
been a little frustrating because 11 out of your 13
most recent stories are all related to the
Roethlisberger accident. Now I know its the offseason,
but is there seriously nothing better going on in the
NFL right now that you have to focus 85 percent of
your recent stories on Big Ben making a mistake?
Anyway I'd also like to thank you guys for doing your
job and keep up the good work, but please spare all us
non-Steelers fans from having to listen from this
incident that has been all over Sportscenter for the
past 48 hours.
Sincerely,




they email me back saying,

it's a big story -- what can i say?

not a whole lot going on. maybe sean taylor will kill someone.



Now look at the end of their latest blurb.

Quote:
Finally, we've received several e-mails from fans of teams other than the Steelers complaining about the extent to which we've been covering the Roethlisberger story. To them we say this -- there's not really anything else happening right now. So unless Chris Henry or A.J. Nicholson or Sean Taylor or Marcus Vick kill someone within the next 48 hours, the condition of the starting quarterback of the Super Bowl XL championship team will continue to be a focal point of NFL coverage both here and elsewhere.



kinda cool even though he dissed the skins.

I know lots of folks here hate PFT -- but I love it. I don't take what they say as truth - just as amusement. I do have to admit though that after reading it regularly for about a year that they do hit on some good stuff - they clearly do have a few good sources.

someone will claim slander but then again they are in the public eyes so they can't :) they would have ot prove that pft didn't take the proper steps to make sure they wouldn't mind or that it is such a far out claim...which with sean taylor anything is possible:p:
