The United States of America v. Michael Vick

In the last week we have watched in delight as events have unfolded in the People versus Michael Vick a.k.a. 'Ron Mexico' a.k.a. 'Ookie'. (Here is the whole 18 page indictment from The Smoking Gun) Polls show over 80 percent of people want him in jail if he did this and he faces up to six years in jail if convicted. People who have never followed football in their life now know he is a bad person who will be judged one day for his actions.

A couple of thoughts:

Its hilarious that Vick's dogfighter name 'Ookie' has an eerie resemblance to Hokie. I always thought a Hokie was a castrated turkey, not a dogfighter. Guess you learn something everyday.

According to the document Vick and his cronies killed dogs by hosing them down then electrocuting them, hanging them, shooting them and throwing them on the ground repeatedly. I guess Vick can miss wide open receivers but he can't miss the ground when tossing dogs. Well you never know, his completion percentage last year was 52.6%.

Pacman is in trouble mainly for being an idiot (oh yeah and that one tussle when a man was paralyzed) but this is so much worse.

Until the weekend you could still buy an 'Ookie' customized Falcons jersey at NFLShop.com. Ron Mexico was taken off the shelf immediately after that suit became public knowledge so its surprising it took the NFL a couple of days this time.

This isn't a local prosecutor going for attention like in the Duke Lacrosse Scandal or the Kobe Bryant Debacle. Uncle Sam's lawyers will not prosecute without a solid case.

College Gameday will probably be focusing on the tragic shooting when they arrive in Blacksburg September 1st. We don't expect a lot of shots of their captain from the Hokies' glory year of 1999.

Vick was betting thousands of dollars per fight on these dogs. Suppose on top of his NFL salary he made $10 million last year (in endorsements - not including dogfight winnings) which would put his total earnings at about $18.4 million. He gave $10,000 to the Va Tech Victims Relief Fund. If a person earning $50,000 a year gave that amount he would only be giving $27.17. So he could afford to fight a lot of dogs and doing this was more important than helping out his alma mater in its time of need.

How the hell do you get involved with dog fighting in the first place? I can't imagine watching the Iron Bowl with one of my friends and it just coming up in casual conversation. "Hey Cox is throwing all over us again this year. Lets get out of hear and head down to Byhalia. One of my boys got his pitbull in the ring tonight. He's fighting a dalmatian, its gonna be a blood bath."

The Pacman Profiled

I am in the processing of moving, something I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy, so I'll make this short.

Pacman's lawyer has complained to the media that the deputy that cited Pacman Jones for a residency violation and not having registered his vehicle in Tennessee was "out to get him." Personally I don't think that it should be against policy of the any police department to turn away when Pacman is around.

Who are some other clients this lawyer be against profiling..... Hmmmm, Al Capone, John Wayne Gacy, Bugsy Siegel, The Juice, Richard Ramirez, Otis Nixon, Dr. Jones, Marcus Vick, and DMX he's got a been through the court system a few times.

Snap Out These Dreads and Put That Sh!@ in a Perm

Adam 'Pacman' Jones turned himself in to Las Vegas authorities on Friday and was released on a lot of bail money. Jones has a court date scheduled for July 23 in Vegas to address the charges at hand. The early line at the Bellagio on Pacman missing the court date is 1 to 8.

Pacman showed up for his mugshot with an impressive new look having shaved his head. One can only assume he was getting clean for an encounter at a strip club later in the evening and look at that picture, what stripper could deny Pacman of a lap dance?

You can look forward to seeing Pacman on an episode of Dateline NBC's To Catch a Predator in August a la Marcus Vick. We can't wait.

Pacman Drops Appeal

Adam "Pacman" Jones dropped his appeal of his season long suspension Tuesday, possibly when he realized he was appealing to Roger Goodell the same man who gave him the suspension he is appealing. We hold out hope that Pacman will throw a suspension party and one of our friends in Nashville will get get us in for free. Goodell still has not taken into account the club shooting in Vegas that Pacman allegedly incited which left a bouncer paralyzed. Charges are still pending in the case.

Put your money on it in Vegas and credit us later, Pacman will have another 'run in' with the cops in the next month but it will not involve a strip club much to many peoples' surprise. Taking classes online at West Virginia University can't keep you that occupied, got to get the fuzz involved and keep things interesting.

If Pac and Chris Henry do make it back to campus while suspended, they would make great mentors for Pat White and the rest of the Mountaineers.

Upshaw Union Boss (Commie) Threatens Ex-Lineman

The NFLPA seems to be using mob tactics these days as they are recklessly going after Hall of Fame lineman Joe DeLamielleure who was O.J. Simpson's lead blocker in the 1970's for the Bills. In an interview with the Philadephia Daily News the NFLPA President Gene Upshaw stated, "A guy like DeLamielleure says the things he said about me; you think I'm going to invite him to dinner? No. I'm going to break his . . . damn neck." Seems like you might or might now break his neck Gene, but he's on his way to ending up in a trunk in Jersey.

Wish this was not the case but it seems to be all too common for unions to use unnecessary force. It can be physical or financial but the goal is to achieve things that will only benefit a few at the top of the union. You have the NFL making millions today while players from the sixties can't walk straight due to concussions and are being denied benifits by union doctors to save a few dollars to defend the likes of Pacman Jones and Ray Lewis. Unions continue to be a pervasive communist threat and unless current players stand up against this boss Upshaw they will be sent down the path of the Russian mob by their 'leader.' Mike Minter will be walking around crippled cashing Medicare checks at the Publix as well. This is what happens when the University of Miami has more players in the NFL than any other school...
