Well, 20 dog years which equals 23 month.
Why do they keep saying that he’s going to learn a lesson? Does anyone have trouble with understanding that shooting a dog in the face probably isn’t the most human thing to do? Besides retards. And those people who sell guns to retards. And those manages who hire dumb enough employees that would sell a gun to a retard. But I digress.
Was the sentence long enough? Sure why not. I don’t know really. I could care less, he’s a Falcon.
What’s next for him? Say he’s out for three seasons. He could come back to the NFL. I don’t know if the NFL will have open arms. Maybe the CFL? The CFL took in Ricky Williams, although Ricky was just caught smoking pot, like 50 times.
Maybe after Vick gets out, he can call up Vince McMahon and try to start up the XFL again.

I thought he should have been given the death penalty. But that’s just me, and admittedly, I love pitbulls, and I have believed, for quite some time that if someone is found guilty of running or financing a pitbull fighting operation, or participating in pitbull fights that said individual(s) should be given the death penalty.
I’m not a fan of beating up on animals, except for cats, they deserve it, but anything over a year is fine to me. Five seems a little extreme.
I mean what person would feed and care for an animal for years and then the next day just lead it to it’s own demise. I hate to say but this is another case of Cutesism, again. Dog is to Cow as Dolphin is to Tuna.
And no comments about how it was dogfighting. Farmers would do the same thing with cows if they just didn’t stand in the middle of the ring and eat grass.
A side note. With the interview with Arthur Blank, the Atlanta Falcons owner and CEO, his slipped a little bit. Nothing I would be offended by but, I’m sure you’ll hear about it on the news.
Talking about Vick staying in shape during his off time, Blank said, “If Michael makes a mistake and eats fried chicken and French fries everyday he could come out weighing 250 pounds and he won’t be able to play football.”
I chuckled, no one around me heard the comment. That’s what makes me think it’s going to be a big deal. You can’t make fun of a black man in jail. The joke already wrote itself.
Do they even have Kool-Aid in prison?
Imagine what would have happened if instead of saying:
“If Michael makes a mistake and eats fried chicken and French fries everyday he could come out weighing 250 pounds and he won’t be able to play football.”
Blank said:
“If Michael makes a mistake and eats fried chicken and watermellon everyday he could come out weighing 250 pounds and he won’t be able to play football.”
By the way, they don’t have Kool-Aid in prison, but from what I’ve heard they do have plenty of “grape drink” …
Nice… purple, water, sugar. Eff that Sunny D, I want summa dat purple stuff.
As for the fried chicken comment. I heard it talked about here and there but, no one was really in a huff. Every one besides Jim Rome. Then again, maybe he needs the attention. For being, not just a white guy but, the ONLY guy offended. Un-believable.
If Frank Caliendo would just stop doing Jim Rome impressions, Jim Rome will then finally fall off the face of the Earth. What is he really famous for? Almost getting his ass beat by Jim “[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HNgqQVHI_8]Chissy[/url]” Everett?
Another thing that bugs me. Roddy White. #84 wide receiver for the Falcons. After his Touchdown he pulled up his jersey to show a “Free Mike Vick” T-shirt. Free him? This isn’t Nelson Mandela. Vick admittedly committed a known crime. Enough said.
Well put.
You know what pissed me off? Jamie Foxx saying “I don’t blame the brotha’, after all, a lot of black men don’t know that pitbull fighting is a federal crime. After all, it’s a ‘cultural thing’”. What an ignorant motherfucker!
The next thing you know, he’ll be saying things like “Eating fried chicken and watermelon, drinking grape drink and calling women bitches and ho’s, and women shaking ass and acting like bitches and ho’s is a ‘cultural thing’” … wait a minute, I think somebody already did say that! As a matter of fact, I think I saw it on “I Love New York 2″ a little while ago…
“Free Michael Vick” … fuck that t-shirt, this whole “self-imposed ignorance” thing has been going on far too long.
Aw fuck, there I go again … ExistentialBitchslap has been off-line for years and I still can’t let it go.
It’ll all come together, the planets will align but, it all starts when you stop fucking watching “I Love New York 2″. And “Flava of Love” and even that other one with Brett Michaels. That’s another Michael that should be punched. You’re just feeding the fire by watching.
Cultural? First off. I thought Americans have no culture. According to every other culture, I think. Maybe it’s not the greatest. Hot dogs, hamburgers, football, baseball and beer. Now I think about it, it’s pretty damn good. I dare you to find someone that doesn’t at least like one of those things.
As for being “black culture”. If you gotta go back into the woods to do something, and you know at least one person around you has either a gun, a trash can or a shovel. You’re fixin’ to do some shady shit.
Instead of coming out and saying some shit like, “Who knew?”, Jamie Foxx. You need to come out like Bill Cosby and just talking shit about everyone who’s stupid.
And who in the fuck is asking Jamie Foxx for his input?! Unless you need some glorified B actor for a movie, let him be. Nothing he will ever say, will be carved into stone.
Speaking of people nosing in where they shouldn’t be. Where the fuck is Jesse and Al? Oh wait. They only come out when it’s safe. I thought their plight was to support the black man. If anyone needs some support, it’s Vick. But no, Jesse was to busy in Miami. I think it’s a little late to help out when your at a funeral. Oh yeah, I forgot, it was safe to go.
Again, very well said.
Just for the record, I don’t watch modern-day minstrel shows like Flava’ of Love and I Love New York 2, not intentionally anyway and by that I mean, I’ll be flippin’ channels, and I’ll land on one or the other, I’ll stop for a few appalling seconds, shake my head, and then resume flipping. They’re like train wrecks really, and I don’t like consciously being involved in stuff that perpetuates negative ethnic and cultural stereotypes. Honestly, I can’t believe people follow those shows, but I recon they do …
Speaking of Jesse, Al and let’s not leave Calypso Louie out, WHY THE FUCK haven’t they started protesting these shows? Probably like you said, they’re far too busy trafficking human misery in “safer” climates to care.
I’ve never seen the Brett Michaels’ show but I did hear about it. I’d imagine that a lot of trailer trash came out to try and win his heart and his money. Or to at least ride his coattails.
I view the contestants on shows like that as vultures, male or female.
Oh, and then there’s that myspace whore Tila Tequila. Don’t even get me started on her.
When you said:
“If you gotta go back into the woods to do something, and you know at least one person around you has either a gun, a trash can or a shovel. You’re fixin’ to do some shady shit.”
… that quote needs to be recorded somewhere, it’s right up there with “Looks like Jesus says I’m right again”.
So far as Vick is concerned, however much time he spends in jail is irrelevant as, he’ll probably be too busy signing autographs to care much about where he is. Unless of course, his cell block is filled with cons who hate on the Falcons all the time.
At the end of the day, some things are, like you said, just common sense (getting back to: “If you gotta go back into the woods to do something, and you know at least one person around you has either a gun, a trash can or a shovel. You’re fixin’ to do some shady shit.”) and even if he had 20 years in the pen to think about it, I don’t think he could ever equate it. But who knows, he could prove me wrong, and I hope he does.
i was going to add Tila Tequila, but Whitey got to her first…..lol
LOL “Whitey” …
Yeah, I can’t stand that broad [Tila Tequila] … or pretty much anybody else who stars in those kinds of shows, which sucks because I always did enjoy Flava Flav back in the P.E. days.
yeah, Flava was alright back in the 80’s, but i can’t stand him now….or any of the other shows…..except one…The Hills….sorry
THE HILLS!!??? Aw Hell Jill, seriously, come-the-fuck-on! Er, well, okay, alrigh alright we all get to have guilty pleasures every once-in-a-while, and at least you didn’t say “The Real Housewives Of Orange County”
and to add to my previous post….i only happen to catch the Hills when i’m flipping through channels and there just happens to be a rerun on or something….its not like i TiVo it or anything….
now Grey’s Anatomy is another story
and since you mention “guilty pleasures”….i don’t think the Hills or anything else on regularly scheduled programming is considered a guilty pleasure. Now the program I purchased on On Demand last night definitely falls into that category….
OT
Whitey….if you don’t already have it, you should get an AIM SN….or at least tell me what it is if you have one…..
