I hear there was a time in this country when people who engaged in this kind of ugly behavior were ostracized and then ignored. It would have been bad form to mention them in polite company. Now, we celebrate them. We get down in the muck with them and scrutinize every move they make from every angle. It would be nice if ESPN and the others would simply let us look away.

They do this every year, though. Last year it was the guy who plays WR in Dallas. It's as if they have a staff meeting where the head guy begins:

"Okay football season is coming. How can we avoid talking about football?"

Lackey1 "Put Kornheiser in the booth!"
Lackey2 "Better yet, put entertainment figures in the booth so they can promote their projects during the game!"
Lackey3 "Two words: Mike Vick!"
