Michael Who?

The "NFL Quarterback Challenge" -- which was supposed to air on ESPN this month -- may never see the light of day.

Why? Because Michael Vick was in the annual skills competition, taped in May, and the NFL is trying to erase all traces of his existence.

"All scheduled airings are canceled at this time," Pilar Bush, tourism director for the Cayman Islands, told the Caymanian Compass. The Caymans paid to host the event.

Wow, this is taking it a bit far no? Even OJ gets mentioned here and there these days..
 
How long ago was it taped? They're probably concerned that people will think that it was taped after his indictment and all that nonsense. (thus the league would be seen as supportive of Vick... or something)

I don't think the NFL has an image problem at all.
I think they've done a fantastic job from a PR standpoint considering all the problem players recently. The NBA on the other hand has done a terrible job and is seen as a league of thugs, when in reality they've had far less problems than the NFL (granted, there are much less players in the NBA).

I doubt someone is going to be charged by the feds for shooting a pet that was paralyzed.
