    No you certainly don't, but the original poster makes a good point. People care about this -- and it's not like this is some Paris Hilton story, this is actually legitimate news. What else should ESPN have covered the last two days?

    If people want to take issue with what talent ESPN featured in its coverage that's TOTALLY different, but I don't think you can fault them for spending so much time covering a sports story that is probably the most talked about thing in the country right now. If people don't want to watch it they obviously don't have to, but enough people do and that justifies the coverage IMO.

    Ah hahahaha, don't you all wish you were Canadian now? Sure, it's news ... but we're not obsessing about it.

    When you've got sideline reporters interviewing beat reporters and editorial page editors, I think that's pretty close to a sign the apocalypse is nigh ...

    The NFL has jumped the shark with Vick, and that assumes they already hadn't.
    Truth be told, everyone realizes the league has more scumbags in it than Vick, but the league can't relent so Vick will never play again while players who have killed real, living human beings still get paid to play.
    What a fucking bunch of hypocrites.
    I for one won't be watching, ever again. It isn't because of Vick, but I'm sick of the wall to wall coverage of anything NFL.
    For me the NFL is the new ESPN. I've managed to live my life for a solid five, six years with minimal to non-existent ESPN watching. So giving up the NFL will be easy.
    All it was now was games and Inside the NFL on HBO.
    The NFL is the modern version of Christians fighting in the Coliseum. Next thing you know, the vandals, or, more likely, the Chinese, come knocking.

    Last year, all I did was watch the games and read the paper. It was an enjoyable season, even if my Giants suck flaccid cock.

    Hard to pick someone I'd trade places with in this group right about now: Michael Vick, Rafer Alston, Owen Wilson, Lisa Nowak and Larry Craig. Paris and Lindsey aren't looking so bad right now.

    How goofy is it that Marcus is the one who is "normal" and not Mike.
