I know everyone is tired of hearing about the Michael Vick case, but I love football; so any related football news is better then none. Micahel "The Dog Killer" Vick has pleaded guilt to dogfighting charges today. This offense can carry a $250,000 fine and a 5 year prison sentence. The NFL Commissioner, his holiness Roger Goodell, has been quoted as stating that Mr. Vick would receive a 1 year suspension for gambling and a 1 year suspension for illegal dogfighting. Now, this suspension is to be served after his prison sentence. Those of you who are good at math would calculate Vick possibly playing football again no sooner than 2010, at which point he would be 30. Now this is a big if, because he may find Jesus in prison or Ricky Williams and claim his allegiance to Allah. Now on a larger scale, Vick signed a contract worth $130 million for 10 years back in 2004, which included a $37 million signing bonus. On top of this ridiculous amount of money, Ron Mexico(Wikipedia), had endorsements with AirTran, Nike, Adidas, Donruss and Rawlings; who have all subsequently ended their relationship with Senor Vick. After computing the amount of money Vick was to earn over the course of his NFL career, I say WTF??? Gambling on dogs fighting in a ring and then executing them for not performing well enough to "your standards" is grounds for immediate cancellation of Michael Vicks life on this earth. I am not saying that we should kill Michael Vick, I actually mean he should not be on this planet anymore. The next time NASA wants to send a $820 million Rover onto Mars, I say send Michael Vick in a soap box racer armed with a video camera, his football helmet and some trading card gum. He is such a big man for killing innocent animals, I am sure he can handle anything he may encounter on Mars. Its like real life DOOM(iD Software), we can even televise it. Who wouldn't pay $39.95 for that???? I sure as hell would.

I can assure you that they are not fans of Michael Vick...would you even think to make these animals fight each other? That's what I thought.
