While I agree that ESPN was the primary vehicle for this (and cable news in general does this to so many stories), I still wonder how much of a cancer the guy was without the media coverage. ESPN had nothing to do with the screaming matches he gets into with coaches or the tirades on the sideline.
You could almost wonder if ESPN's coverage was the negative PR campaign that allowed the Eagles to justify it to their fans and the sports world. Maybe they would have wanted to be rid of him because of things that happen behind closed doors, but the public spectacle is what saved them from the wrath of fans.
