Today's multiple choice exam

Q: Which of the following generated the most media coverage? Outrage?

a) NFL will not suspend Ravens linebacker

Associated Press

NFL star Ray Lewis pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor Monday under an agreement that drops murder charges in the stabbing deaths of two men outside a Super Bowl party.
Lewis entered the plea before Judge Alice Bonner, who sentenced him to a year's probation under Georgia's first offender act.
"It's a good day for Ray," defense attorney Don Samuel said as he entered the courthouse.
The Baltimore Ravens linebacker walked in a few minutes later, tossing the yellow tennis ball he has clutched throughout the first two weeks of testimony in his murder trial.
Defense attorney Ed Garland said he and Lewis discussed the plea agreement and went over his testimony before going to court.
"He said a prayer with me about his duties and his responsibilities and what he was doing and he was happy to go forward and let the truth -- all of it -- come out," he said.
Garland said Lewis' only crime was to tell his companions after the brawl that led to the deaths, "Keep your mouth shut," and giving an incomplete statement to police.
"He fully acknowledges his responsibility for those acts," Garland told Bonner after the plea was entered. Lewis is a former player at the University of Miami.

IRVING, Texas — Of all the low points since the Super Bowl days — handing Arizona its first playoff victory in 50 years, players quitting on Barry Switzer, Dave Campo's debut against Philadelphia — this was the lowest:Terrell Owens standing on the star, arms raised, staring up through the hole in the roof. Said Owens: “It was just a spur of the moment thing.” Twice?No one could remember anything quite as insulting. Not in Texas Stadium, not even in the Cotton Bowl.Nothing in the long proud history of the Dallas Cowboys could match it for sheer embarrassment.

c) Lawyer: Brutal violence beyond football

Associated Press

Former Raiders linebacker Bill Romanowski ended Marcus Williams' NFL career two years ago when he ripped off his teammate's helmet and punched the second-year tight end in the face during a practice drill, Williams' attorney told a jury Tuesday.
During opening statements in the trial of Williams' multimillion dollar lawsuit against Romanowski, lawyer James Brosnahan said the linebacker struck Williams with such force that it broke the tight end's left eye socket with a "sickening sound" that could be heard 15 yards away.
"This case is about brutal violence beyond the rules of football," Brosnahan said.
Williams, who earned $300,000 a season with the Raiders, is seeking damages of $3.8 million for alleged battery, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The blow he took Aug. 24, 2003, also injured his brain. His football career ended at age 27.

d) Vick makes obscene gesture to home crowd

Associated Press

Michael Vick apologized for making an obscene gesture toward Atlanta fans as he walked off the field after the Falcons' fourth straight loss Sunday.
Vick used both hands to deliver the gesture and flashed an angry look toward the handful of fans remaining in the Georgia Dome. Those who hung around booed the home team loudly after its dismal 31-13 loss to the New Orleans Saints.
''First and foremost, I would like to apologize for my inappropriate actions with fans today,'' the quarterback said in a statement released by the Falcons. ''I was frustrated and upset at how the game was going for my team, and that frustration came out the wrong way.''
