I caught this excellent post over on Sports On My Mind that asks why ESPN purposely decided not to cover a story that paints Brett Favre in a bad light. In case you aren’t familiar with the news this week, Favre has been accused of calling the Detroit Lions coaches and giving them insider info about the Green Bay Packers offense.

Instead of putting the story on their site immediately like they do with everything else, ESPN didn’t bother covering it.

Just to give you a frame of reference, SOMM says ESPN has posted 24 Pacman Jones stories this week. Hell, they even had a story about Marcus Vick’s legal troubles…. talk about scraping the bottom of the barrell for material.

Why is ESPN protecting Favre?
Has the story not been included just because FOX’s Jay Glazer broke the news?

Speak on it.
