Stupid Stephon!

Stephon Marbury recently made headlines, but it wasn't for the New York Knicks, although he did make these headlines while promoting his $10 Shoe.

On Monday, Marbury made some idiotic comments to a local TV station that dogfighting wasn't any different from deer hunting.

"I think it's tough," Marbury said. "I think, you know, we don't say anything about people who shoot deer or shoot other animals. You know, from what I hear, dogfighting is a sport. It's just behind closed doors."

Hey Stupid Stephon. Here's a News Flash for you. There is a huge difference between dogfighting and hunting. The difference lies in the intention to cause suffering. People who watch dogfighting want the action to last, presumably. They don't want a "quick snap of the neck and it's-over" fight. This necessitates extended suffering for the dog. Good hunters, on the other hand, want the animal to fall at the first shot for many reasons, one of which is to prevent suffering to the animal, but there are many others. To ease in locating and recovering the carcass, adrenaline in the bloodstream of the animal tastes the meat, etc. In some states there are strict rules about how the animal is to be brought down and people can be criminally charged for not following those rules.

According to Newspaper Reports on Friday, Marbury has backed off his defense of Michael Vick. In Friday's Statement, Marbury said: "What Michael Vick did was wrong, and he has admitted his guilt," Marbury said in a statement released by the Knicks to New York newspapers. "He should be punished. However, he should be given a second chance, as others have received for more serious crimes."

He is right, to a point, in his statement. Many people have given O.J. Simpson a second chance after he got away with murder. (Whoops! I Meant "Was Found Not Guilty Of Murder By A Jury Of His Peers.")

Marbury also said in the statement:
"There is no list for which animals should be killed and which shouldn't. I love animals and none of them should be harmed However, we don't react the same when other animals are being killed for sport or the sake of human pleasure"

Apparently, he also forgot the biggest reason may people hunt and fish, For Food! Many people deer hunt for food, and that is by far the biggest reason.

Stephon Marbury may make Millions playing Basketball and promoting his $10 Shoe, but the fact that he would come out and defend Mike Vick for dogfighting is just plain stupid. Marbury is trying to backtrack what he said, but the damage has been done.

Michael Vick To Plead Guilty

More than football, Now that he has pleaded gulty, Michael Vick's freedom is out of the question.

With three associates prepared to testify that he brutally executed dogs and bankrolled gambling, the NFL star agreed Monday to "accept full responsibility" for his role in a dogfighting ring and plead guilty to federal conspiracy charges.

Worries about playing time will have to wait while Vick faces prison time — from one to five years.

The maximum term is five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, although federal sentencing guidelines likely would call for less. Defense attorneys would not divulge details of the plea agreement or how much time Vick can expect to serve.


Michael Vick's Football Career is over. Period. There is no team one to five years from now that would be that desperate to take a chance on Vick.

Where does this leave the Falcons? It leaves them looking at a terrible mess and an upcoming terrible season. Atlanta will finish 2-14, and will have the first pick in the NFL Draft Next Year. I see the Falcons taking Brian Brohm, the Louisville Quarterback. Why? Because Brohm's coach Last Season was Bobby Petrino, who is now the Atlanta Falcons Coach. Of Course, I could see them suprisingly take a guy like John David Booty out of USC or (even more suprisingly) Colt Brennan, Quarterback out of Hawaii.

Where My Dogs At?

Michael Vick, the Quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons and one of the most recognizable faces of the National Football League, has been charged with being a ringleader of an illiegal dogfighting ring. According to the 18-page indictment, the dogfighting ring executed underperforming dogs by drowning, hanging and other brutal means. It alleges that the fights offered purses as high as $26,000.

The grisly details outlined in the indictment have fueled protests and public outrage against Vick. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has banned Vick from the Falcons' training camp while the league investigates.

Michael Vick is in deep dog doodoo (no pun intnended) as one of his former associates, Tony Taylor, has now agreed to testify for the government in their case against Michael Vick. Wittnesses have put Michael at the scene of the dog executions and there may soon be more charges coming up against Michael Vick.

No Ammount of Scrambling can get Michael Vick away from the very real possibility that he may spend some time in prison. Vick had better hope that his attorney Billy Martin is as good as his track record says he is, Otherwise, Vick can kiss his NFL Career Goodbye.
