BREAKING NEWS: Vick to Enter Guilty Plea

Back to Vick. I think if he ever came back to the NFL it wouldn't be as a QB. I think he'd finally be a RB or WR or probably even simply a kick returner.

But that should be the least of his concerns

All of this talk reminds me of the arguement that Adam Schefter and Mike Mayock got into during this past Draft. It had to do with the whole Randy Moss thing. Mayock wanted to keep the focus on football whereas Schefter kept talking about the Moss dilema. There are those who wish that the focus would remain on the sport, but Americans as a whole have a thirst for the Drama. For once I agree Chip, The media is not the problem; the thirst of the majority of Americans is. They only give the majority what they want.

I would love to see Vick play RB. I think that would be really interesting to see if he could adjust from being a QB to a RB, but as you said Vick should be happy if he can even make it back to the NFL.

I can see him being utilized much like ARE was in Pittsburgh, or even as Bush is used in New Orleans.

They're going to blame him for the dam breaking?

Oh, the other Bush...

All I meant with the network comparisons is don't act like it's only ESPN.

As for the apologist/spokesperson part, I mean it's only natural for ESPN to get grief. When you're at the top, people want to knock you down. I try not to let it get to me, but sometimes I just feel the need to point out what some people aren't aware of "behind the scenes"

While there is some validity to your point, as an insider myself (not at ESPN but previously at another national network) you have to admit these days the media 'creates' more out of a story than simply reporting it. There have been no less than 12 'experts' weighing in on the same story, saying the same things in different words. There is a difference between spinning a story forward and rehashing the same information we've had for 24 hours to fill up time on the rundown.

Vick should be bloodied, shot, electrocuted, hung or all together. Not to forget cropping his ears as a pup with a steak knife. Let's move on to subjects that warrant intelligent(us) people giving attention.

True. It's a fine line really. We just got out of a two hour meeting here arguing over how much coverage we are and should/should not be giving Vick. Lest anyone think we don't think about these things.

CNNSI right?

You forgot drowned.

I've always been a proponent of punishing people with he crime THEY inflicted on someone else.

The ill fated marriage of a sports magazine and a sports department at a news organziation.. Fun while it lasted, happy I'm not doing it anymore.
