Sure we all think Favre will come back to the Vikings and I'm sure there will be endless coverage over it. However Favre has his work cut out for him because there's Michael Vick's imminent release from prison. According to a press release,
ESPN has released the details about who they are sending and where. Three reporters will be spread out from Leavenworth, Kan, to Hampton, Va, and Atlanta, and the network will air specials throughout the day. There will even be a one hour special that Tuesday. Via ESPN PR....

SportsCenter Special (ESPN2, Tuesday, 7 p.m.)
Bob Ley will anchor a one-hour SportsCenter special with Mark Schlereth, Trent Dilfer, Herm Edwards, and Chris Mortensen.
ESPN.com's Lester Munson will take an in-depth look at Michael Vick's depleting finances and the people that targeted them, and interview Tony "Dogman" Taylor, one of the dogfighting associates who pleaded guilty and served time for the incident. John Clayton will also take a look at the five most likely landing spots for Vick when he returns to the NFL. The NFL Blog Network will also open up a discussion for debate on whether Vick should keep an open mind to switching positions. Additional columns and reactions from Len Pasquarelli and Pat Yasinskas will also be available on ESPN.com.
Honestly is Michael Vick really worth this much coverage? Look I admit I never liked the guy but it had nothing to do with dogfighting I just found him to be an overrated QB who was more of a gifted athlete rather than a pure passer. Yes the media loves to see the rise and fall and rise again of any fallen star. However, this kind of coverage is just rather disgusting to me. Yeah I'm sure Vick isn't going to get a lot of sympathy for this and I'm not asking for anyone to feel sorry for him. He brought all of this on himself but I do wonder when athletes get into trouble namely over crimes inflicted on humans how come there's not this much outrage or coverage over it? Donte Stallworth was drunk and killed somebody and it came and went in the news cycle. Now I know there are other stories ESPN can devote its attention to that more people probably care about: NHL Playoffs, NBA Playoffs, to name a few. Its stories like these that make me long for a rival sports network to give us an alternative to ESPN.
To me, Dogfighting is a B.S. charge where you got Leonard Little still in the league after he killed two people. I'm still trying to figure out how Vick got more time than Little. The only time they ever mentioned it was when they did an Outside the Lines on the husband who just happens to take professional pics for the NFL. He refuses to take pics of Leonard Little, understandably.
That is overkill
