ESPN sinks to a new low

I want you to read that article and see if anything jumps out at you at being highly out of place and unnecessary.

[X-Clown]

I'm guessing you're referring to the Ed Werder/Dallas thing.

[Mr. Scot]

Whatever it is, I'm missing it :confused:

[Jangler]

Vick playing for another team is unnecessary. Other than that, I don't see it.

[Mr. Scot]

Marcellus Wiley's take in the accompanying video is kind of goofy, and the numbers on Vick's contract are listed, which could be annoying I suppose.

As far as something in the article itself though, not getting it.

I don't get it, Looks like a typical Espn article.

[Fireball77]

Count me as puzzled as well.

[Murph]

I think it is the Dallas part of it. They made two paragraphs out of an issue that was completely irrelevent. They could have just made one sentence stating that "only once in NFL history has a team traded for the rights of a suspended player, last year Dallas did it for Pac Man Jones".

Instead they created a whole sub-story to article simply because mentioning Dallas instantly creates more interest even thought there was absolutely nothing to report.

[Sam Mills Fan]

Yeah it's definitely the Cowboys thing.

There is *zero* reason to believe that the Cowboys would trade for Vick, yet they just *had* to find a way to work the Girls into that article.

I wouldn't be surprised if at the end of the next ARod and steroids article I read, they say for no reason that Jerry Jones had no comment on the matter.

Nothing can happen in the NFL without Dallas being mentioned

[southcakalac]

Ed Werder slobs the Cowboys knobs. I hate him.

[Mr. Scot]

In fairness, i don't think it's that big a stretch to mention that Dallas was the only team to ever trade for a suspended player. Bit reachy to suggest they might go for Vick though given that they have, and like, Tony Romo.

On a related note, the Bucs, Lions and Jets (so far) have all expressed their disinterest in Vick.

I think it's funny and wrong at the same time that a man who has shot at people in a strip club, got into multiple incidents with police and got into a fight with a team Body guard can get another shot in the league. While Vick has the Airport incident and the dog fighting (I don't condone the dog fighting at all, Matter of fact its wrong and he should have went to jail for a longer period.) Is probably not going to get reinstated this year and even if he does there will be very few teams looking at him and even fewer looking at him as a QB. Even though imo Vick >>>>>>>> Jones in terms of skill.

Vick>>Jones in skill but i don't think he's as bad a person as Jones. He's still a shithead. He's just a turd sandwich instead of a Giant douche.
