Just one example that stands out....local radio in Indiana has a DJ that spent most of a week belittling Tony....Yesterday he spent 40 seconds on the subject and acted like he had previous knowledge of the drug use instead of any type of apology!!
This is just one example of 100"s...every guy that could not make it as an athlete that was behind a microphone or camera that gave a negative view for days ...where are they now...Will they spend the next 8-11 days saying anything positive about Stewart?
The next time a media member sticks something in Tony"s face and he blows them off or knocks them on their ass don't be so quick to judge..I really have no dog in the fight and it pisses me off so much I'm pounding these keys...
I could rant forever...but those looking for a way to degrade Tony will...Sure hope he continues to get ovations like the one at Atlanta...And as for me...there is one less radio station in Indy that is on my selection pad!!
Had to add one thought ...those that supported Stewart the most seemed to be the media guys that were past drivers...the guys that have been behind the wheel!

I could not agree more. On the local news down here (Florida) last night, they mentioned it during the sports portion (not important enough to be a top story but when it happened it sure in the hell was) and it took them all of about 20 seconds to do so. They also never bothered to mention the part about the weed. Now that he has been cleared this will be swept under the rug by the media. You bet your ass had it went the other way it would have been the lead story.
