Vick trying to have cake and eat it too

According to sources from ESPN, Michael Vick apparently will only commit guilty to the charge of interstate commerce for the purpose of dog fighting. Vick will maintain that he never killed any dogs or gambled on a dogfight.

He will admit he was present when dogs were killed, but that he did not personally kill any of the dogs.

So what? When a wife hires a hit man to take out her husband, is she absolved of any wrongdoing? The point is Mikey, that you knew what was going on and you didn’t do anything to stop it. Even if you didn’t have a hand in killing the dogs – which by the way, your boys said you did – then you’re still guilty of funding and being the kingpin of the whole operation.

See, he wants to play football again and that’s why this case will continue for the foreseeable future. He and his lawyers are trying desperately to find a way to get him back on the field as quickly as possible, but they’re being stopped by the thing most of us live in: reality.

ESPN’s 100 greatest beat downs

In the aftermath of the Rangers’ 30-3 thrashing of the Orioles Wednesday night, ESPN.com columnist David Schoenfield listed the “100 greatest beatdowns in history”.

Some were pretty humorous:

44. The playoffs versus Marty Schottenheimer.

50. Bo Jackson over Brian Bosworth, Monday Night Football, 1987.

51. The Ice Age over the dinosaurs.

77. The NFL versus Ryan Leaf.

85. Angelina Jolie versus Jennifer Aniston.

The playoffs versus Marty Schottenheimer had me rolling.

Porn stars and athletes – what a combo

Paul Costanzo and the boys at The Daily Forecast did an interesting blog back in March entitled, “Comparing athletes and porn stars”. The gist of the blog (if it isn’t already obvious by the title) is to take a porn star and compare him or her to an athlete based on their social standing in their profession.

The Forecast’s most obvious example was Jordan and Jameson:

Michael Jordan = Jenna Jameson

This is an easy one, the greatest basketball player ever, and probably most popular athlete ever is the equivalent of the one name in porn you can say and not have a single person think you’re a pervert for knowing. Tiger Woods could also be considered here.

The rest of the list is pretty interesting and humorous, you know, if you’re into that kind of stuff. I for one, had no idea who any of the porn stars were until I clicked on the Wikipedia links provided. Jenna Jameson? No idea who that is, but apparently she’s a big deal in the porn world – who knew?

Congrats you got the job, just don’t get beat by 27 tonight

When the Baltimore Orioles announced they would bring back Dave Trembley for the 2008 season, it must have been a tremendous moment for the interim manager. A tremendous moment, that is, for about seven hours.

Trembley’s bunch got absolutely hammered by the Texas Rangers Wednesday night, surrendering 29 hits in a 30-3 rout. It was the most runs scored by an MLB team since the Chicago Colts scored 36 in 1897. Talk about an utter embarrassment for Trembley, who must have thought to himself, “What the hell did I ever do to you baseball gods!”

So, uh, yeah…congratulations on the promotion Dave…
