leash law?


look likes my dude gained a little weight, locked away. i think he has had plenty of time to go over all his mistakes. plenty of time to reconsider who his real friends are. plenty of time to figure out how he would do it all over again. now i would first say we must always be appreciative of each and every opportunity we receive. so i am happy he is at least some way reinstated and he had better get used to those cameras. it's a trip to me how other peoples shortcomings become major news because they are in the spotlight and get paid so much. i think this case more than any besides the whole oj simpson fiasco that has made you question justice. everyone was mad when oj got off. some people think this man deserves a lifelong punishment. you would think vick had a global dog fighting operation that enslaved every puppy on the planet. again donte stallworth spent 24days of 30day sentence for d.u.i. manslaughter. vick on the other hand has just spent the past 23months in Leavenworth prison. one of the cruelest prison systems in the country, all the way in the midwest when his crime was committed on the east coast, but that's a different story. now to appease all the people that like dogs more than black people he must sit out at least 6 more games this season. to the commish he has to prove he can sit up straight, fetch, roll over and of course play dead. and this is all supposedly to help. excuse me roger but when is enough enough? and by the way where the fuck is the rule book, please!!!? you seem to be making this shit up as you go along. we fully understand that playing in the national football league is a privilege, well so is having fans, and i think the majority of us feel the man has suffered enough. so can we get back to football and leave playing god to god please thanks.

pretty ricky

this dude was one of my favorites growing up. i loved his stance and his power, oh and his speed. i modeled my game after him. i used to like willie randolph at the time i was living in nyc. so i played second base, but when i was introduce to ricky henderson and everything change. in my opinion the best lead off hitter of all-time and a top 5 player of all time. he could do it all. hit for power, draw a walk, steal 2nd,3rd and maybe home was a beast in the outfield and had a rocket arm, what more could you ask for. he was durable, almost like a clean up hitter with speed batting first. 22 seasons 14 with oakland. he is an oakland hero and legend. today was his day. no hormone crap just pure love and desire for his craft. we salute you ricky henderson. job well done bro.

FREE AT LAST

who else can do this. in position threatening to pass a bomb or dip on that ass. now i just want to quickly get out the way. i do think dog fighting is cruel, but they are other cruel forms of entertainment that exist. the man got caught, i looked at some of the pictures of the dogs. i will save you being grossed out, they looked terrible. seems like mercy killings in a gladiator sport involving animals bred to fight. nobody cares about how the chickens we eat are being treated. they are bred to die. cows bred to die. the man plays a gladiator sport, came up in a gladiator hood, was introduced to this carnage at an early age. what the fuck. we know he ain't the brightest light bulb, surrounded by family that would rat him out. he lost 70 mil. of a 10year contract, mad endorsements became public enemy number it seems for a lifetime over some animals. meanwhile stallworth killed someone driving drunk and was only in jail 3 months. little killed someone driving d.u.i. and i think only missed 8 games and spent 3 months in jail. what if an NFL player ran over a dog while drunk. would they get the same treatment as vick. some people like some weird shit. some people drink. some do drugs. some like s&m shit. i feel as long as you don't invade my space with it. i say this because dogfighting did not stop cause vick got caught. brotha was just too dark getting paid way too much for "america" not to make a big deal about it and dramatize it like the oj case. if that shit was romo they would have kept it neat. i am glad he is out. he was definitely my favorite player before his incarceration. i was in the atl at the time, and remember praying there would be a trade made so we could draft him, and that shit actually happened. he has paid a hefty price and will probably continue paying for a lifetime just read the comments on any sports blog. people have a great capacity to hate, its sad. i support change and growth, who knows when there will ever be another talent like him, the least we can to know is support the system that is suppose to lock your ass away and make you a better citizen right. i will be wearing my mike vick jersey today, i hope someone in the NFL gives the brotha a chance.

sheed to celtics

a young sheed and wilt

its really getting interesting. i can't remember an off-season like this. its almost like a second draft. every team re-tooling in areas of need. superstars putting aside their egos for a chance for a ring. everyone in this generation looks back at the barkelys and malones and webers that had all the talent in the world but no ring to show for it. i think this move makes the celtics the favorite now. turk left orlando and he will be hard to replace. we will see how the vince carter thing works out. cleveland and shaq will be very interesting to see how he holds up, what kind a shape he shows up in. the potential is there we will see after a couple of weeks. but sheed and kg in the front court causes match up problems everywhere with a paul pierce a ray allen and a darting all over the place rajon rondo. i can' t wait to see what happens next.

steve mcnair (1973-2009)


here we go again. this has been a weird month with all these celebrity deaths. i know death has no favorites but i can't remember so many passing around the same time. i don't even know how to add this to the list. there is still more information coming out, but so far some chick shot steve in the head and his body was discovered in tennessee. they way it was worded it seems like he might have been killed somewhere else and then re-located. steve was one of my favorite quarterbacks growing up, not because he was one of the only blacks at the position, but because is was a warrior. he played the game like a man. you never heard any contract negotiation bullshit, he played hurt if his team needed him and lead by the greatest example.
i still think the superbowl where they played the rams was one of the best all time, and since then all the superbowls have been more competitive. it is sad to hear someone has ended his life short. he will be missed.

serena williams, 2nd fiddle?


serena williams has won three out of the last four grand slam titles this year and is somehow ranked 2nd in the world behind someone who has yet to win a major in her career. is it me or is something not right about this. i am so tired of reading articles and comments in such describing the williams sisters as thugs. racism is so apparent on sports blogs. coward commentors spread disease with thoughtless opinions that do nothing but show how shallow we still are as a people. instead of being proud the williams sisters can compete in an all-american final on britian most prestigious stage. they are instead considered rude for dominating their sport. rude for questioning how someone who has no major championships can be ranked number one in the world. if it were the simpson sisters or the spear sisters it would be another national holiday, but since it's two sistas from the hood it is always negative. complaints about their style, their grunts. when monica seles was grunting all over the place it was because she was so powerful, now its annoying because that grunt comes with a for sure ass whomping. serena says paraphrasing fuck your ranking bitches i will take the championships instead.
