Michael Vick, who has officially dominated this blog for the last few weeks, is finally coming to the end of the legal process by which he will be eventually incarcirated. Today, Vick plead guilty to federal dogfighting charges in a Richmond, Virginia courthouse. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 10. Most have concluded Vick will probably face around a year of jail time, almost $500,000 in fines, and already has recieved an "indefinite suspension", without pay, from NFL commisioner Roger Goddell.
....
So, essentially, Mike Vick is done. The Falcons will be forced to finally scout out a new quarterback, not being able to simply wait out an entire season, or possibly two, with a backup Q.B., and hope against hope that Goddell lets Vick play in 2009-2010. Which, if one follows how things work in the NFL, will make Vick essentially unsignable by almost any other team as well. MAYBE the Oakland Raiders, but thats about it. Now, all that remains is for Vick to quietly go to prison, and then be released to disappear into obscurity, occasionally surfacing every five to ten years to film a segment on either Inside the NFL or Real Sports about the entire incident. And from this tenuous position, Vick can contimplate how he's traded temporary fame for eternal infamy, and all possible implications to the phrase "sub-human".
Before I get started, anyone who reads this blog should realize that this particular post is going to be long, boring, drawn out and angry. It seems rapper DMX had his Phoenix home searched as part of an investigation into reported animal cruelty. Specifically under nourishment What was his animal of choice you ask? Hmm, I'd give you a guess, but i'm sure you already know due to the title and obvious picture posted. The search yielded twelve pit bull terriers and the cadavers of three more dogs were exhumed on the property. The search also resulted in the discovery of half pound of undisclosed drugs and a plethora of assault weapons. SURPRISE!!!
