Michael Vick - Presents the PETA Bowl

Recently PETA has been active in the sports world. First they called for Atlanta Falcon’s owner Arthur Blank to release Michael Vick from the team if he is found to have participated in dog fighting. Then this week after LSU live mascot Mike the Tiger V died the animal advocacy group has sprung into action again asking for LSU to not replace Mike with another live tige

Now fast forward to the start of the college football season. Michael Vick is in Baton Rouge with his alma mater the Virginia Tech Hokies who are about to play the LSU on the gridiron September 7. Both schools have had enough guff from PETA. Vick has been in contact with Skip Bertman the athletic director of LSU and they are planning a match for the ages ironically away from Death Valley at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. A tiger fight to the death is in store.

The fight sanctioned by Vick’s K9 business, will have animals that have been brought in from the Burmese jungles and trained by Vick at his Surry County home in tidewater Virginia. These beasts have walked five hours a day on dread mills, taken more shots in the butt than Jose Canseco, mauled cows and kept a close watch out for terrorists around Norfolk’s Naval Base in the months leading up to the event.

Two six hundred pound Bengal tigers will go one round to the death in an evident that will have no rematch. The gambling boats in Louisiana have established the tiger named 'Druckenmiller' with its hair dyed slightly red as the favorite to beat the home town favorite 'Dinardo.

With such a match up celebrities flocked to the event including: NFLers Clinton Portis and Chris Samuels; MLB’s Milton Bradley and former player Albert Belle; the WNBA’s Diana Taurasi as well as the recently fired Coach O, Courtney Love and Chelsea Clinton.


One can only picture College Gameday talking about the intense emotion from the night before on Saturday morning after Druckenmiller doesn’t live up to the hype and is dismembered before a cheering Cajun crowd. “Lee, it looked like he had a chance but DiNardo just showed more emotion,” chimes in Erin Andrews.

On the sideline of a blowout 42-13 LSU win Vick will only have a short statement while being interviewed, “Man the world loves Michael Vick, PETA can hate but its not like I have a disease or something…”


Its a sad day for PETA and the Hokies.
