Sports (football) news is just brutal right now

Here are the top six headlines from ESPN.com earlier this afternoon:


All of them are suspension related (the drug testing one allows for Wes Welker and some others to return early from their suspensions).  Yuck.  And, amazingly the Ray Rice situation isn't even on the list.  Is this the ugliest sports time in recent memory?  Honestly I'm not so sure, I think it's very possible the power of the magical internet has just allowed us to become much more aware of and involved in all the bad stuff that famous athletes do.

Some more food for though--most of this garbage is football related.  Is that because it's A) what's happening now, B) the sport we're most interested in, or C) the game that produces the greatest amount bad behavior?  My guess is a combination of all three.
