Nice wording there, ESPN

This is nowhere near as funny as CJ’s entry in the Vickoblogosphere Sweepstakes, or as serious as my last post about hockey, but…. daaaaaamn ESPN, could you choose a more unfortunate set of words for your Vick headline on your front page?

Ummm yeah. The ony ones fighting for their lives were the dogs Vick and his employees tortured into fighting, or the ones that didn’t make the cut and were put to death at his own hands. *cough*allegedly*cough* of course. I’m surprised the lead text for the story didn’t read “Above all else, expect the legal battle to be a dogfight.” ESPN writers, you so clever! What next, alliteration? “Vick Vociferous: Vows Vengeance”

maybe not alliteration, but look for dog-related puns to continue.

For example, if Vick misses camp for any reason he forfeits his signing bonus, and the first day of his initial inquest has been scheduled to coincide with the start of Falcons training camp…

in that case, the headline will read “Falcons bite Vick in the wallet” or something similar.

There’s gotta be something about training camp in the “dog days of summer”
