Anyone else tired of seeing this on the news? I work in front of a TV that has CNN on it constantly. Everytime I walk by it there's some Michael Vick story on there - come one and give it a break already. It's not like there've been any new developments. With all the BS happening all over the world - natural disasters, murders, fires, plane crashes, etc., this whole Vick thing is quickly becoming another Paris Hilton media circus. I don't condone the abusive treatment of animals and do think something needs to be done about this whole dog fighting (chicking fighting or whatever) thing, but does it really deserve the national media coverage it's getting? If it was some Joe Shmoe involved it would have only gotten a passing mention in the news. Because it's someone in the TV Eye it's suddenly a huge news item - what BS!

The Michael Vick story is just one of a dozen sports scandals occupying the news these days. If you're bored with the dog fighting scandal, stay tuned for more on the FBI investigation into the NBA referee gambling on games he officiated, more and more athletes being suspended for taking steroids and firing guns, and the imminent wrongful death suit against the WWE over the Chris Benoit murder-suicide.

The Michael Vick situation is pretty bad.....drenching a dog in water and then electrocuting it? Thats cruel and unusual, and he should be punished harshly for it.
