Seriously? It really doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me - other than ESPN's over-saturation (which is entirely the result of the "dog days" for the baseball season) during a slow news cycle, I don't really fault the guy at all.
He wound up with something resembling a good scenario - other than having to play the Pats twice a year (early prediction: 5 INTs between those two games - they'll eat up the ol' gunslinger), he's in a relatively easy division with a good coaching staff and moderately comparable talent around him, on the biggest possible stage. Plus, he winds up collecting $25 million to keep playing a game he loves. I don't fault the guy in the slightest, but maybe I'm weird.

It's kind of funny you put Vick's felony in the same category as T.O.'s and Favre's contract/retirement disputes.
The Favre thing didn't bother me too much, and it really doesn't bother me when a NFL player puts the screws to his team. With the lack of guaranteed contracts in the league, I don't blame players for trying to get what they can, when they can get it.
