I don't condone any of this in any way. I even called the Falcons front office, and the Surrey? county DA's office when this first happened. However, everyone is allowed to have their day in court. He should take a voluntary leave of absence. |

The NFL has this bizarre notion of basing decisions off of the outcome of the court system, and not the outcome of the court of public opinion. They make "exceptions" to this rule because certain players will get in trouble and part of their deal to come back to the NFL will include clauses where even the act of "getting in trouble" in the future is enough. They don't wait for the outcome of the DUI stop or the outcome of the trial after being arrested because the player has already agreed that from "this moment on" the act of getting stopped or getting arrested will be "actionable." |

I'd never send that unless he was proven guilty. Until he is proven guilty, he should be treated as innocent (this is my agreement with Jeremy's post). You can already see another Duke Case going on here- regardless of the outcome, he's already guilty in the public eye. Just like Kobe. But thenagain Kobe did it, just like OJ did it. |

Ron Mexico, anyone? I mean how was that not bigger news? That has to be some sort of crime... Besides, even if he's not guilty of what's he's charged with, he's still guilty personally of killing those dogs. It was on his property. The whole thing is horrific. The stuff that is coming out though, it just seems like he knew about it. And yea yea yea, I know about the whole court system. But he just doesn't seem very trustworthy. There are articles on ESPN that are wondering if he's going to take a paid leave of absence this year to get this whole indictment thing straightened out. I wonder what will happen. |

Thats funny ... I was just about to post the following. Guilty or not, even knowing about it and not finding it horrific is just as bad.

Killing someone: On Purpose- Murder On accident- homicide Knowing about it yet doing nothing- accessory to murder Is that right? They're all incredibly serious, yet have varying degrees. I just need someone to confirm (haven't followed it myself) that even though it happened on his property- did he know about it? And this guy that says he was there- is he a reliable witness? Guess I should follow more closely... its a bad thing happening, but there are definitely worse things going on. |

I have a problem with animal cruelty (which I'm sure most people do). What they were doing there was despicable. They'd kill dogs if they didn't want to fight, they'd kill them if they lost. And it was slow, and painful, and inhumane. Oh yea, and they had dog fights. Clinton Portis actually made jokes about dog fighting when he was asked about it. It's a popular thing apparently. It's cruel. |

PETA tells NFL to "Sack Vick". My favorite line from this article: "Ramsey said her organization wrote to the NFL in May, offering to work with the league to help educate players about dogfighting." I mean really, how much education does a person need about dogfighting. Wait though, killing a dog and killing a human don't exactly fall under the same legal terms, do they? Also, I think murder and homicide are the same thing. Killing someone on accident (say, in a car accident) isn't a homicide. There are worse things going on, for sure. I haven't done a single thing to help free Tibet all summer. Does having a problem with animal cruelty fall under religious or non-religious views? Because if my problem with it stems from my faith, then as I understand it, it is ok. Just curious. (mostly kidding, but it is interesting irony). Can we get Waylon Meyer to voice his opinion on this issue. I'd be curious to hear what he has to say. Oh, I've got a good punchline. This is just part of the Michael Vick Experience ride advertised in the commericals. I'm done. |

manslaughter is for killing someone on accident while doing something illegal or stupid, like a bar fight, or driving drunk. If you were to fall out of a tree and kill the person you landed on, you would not be guilty of anything. |

If you were to fall out of a tree and kill the person you landed on, you would not be guilty of anything. As I understand it (with some help from Wikipedia): Homicide is the killing of another human being. Whether justified or not, intentional or accidental, it all falls under the homicide umbrella. Murder and manslaughter are then both forms of homicide, but differ on intent, circumstances and legal culpability. Murder being with intent to kill or cause serious harm, and no real justification for it. Manslaughter can be "involuntary" ("accidental") where there is no intent, but through negligence or recklessness, a death occurs (like Scott's drunk driving example). It can also be "voluntary" where there is intent to kill or cause serious harm, but it is mitigated by circumstances and one's state of mind (being provoked and/or acting in the heat of the moment) Of course, in different jurisdictions these may be different, but from the quick reading I did, I think they are good generalities. |

PETA may be out of control sometimes, but maybe teaching NFL players about dog fighting wouldn't be such a bad idea. When this story first broke, I read/heard that some NFL players do participate in dog fighting. (i.e. Clinton Portis) About the whole donating thing, we could donate to the Humane Association or something. |

As sad as it may be, on the long list of people who could use some donations even the Humane Society has to be pretty far down. I don't know if it's a commentary on our country/culture/or the human psyche, but it seems very odd to me we put so much time, effort, and money into helping homeless animals, while simultaneously all but ignoring the problem of homeless people. Now don't get me wrong, those "Oh we've had this dog for 13 years, but now we decided to move into an apartment where pets aren't allowed," people are despicable. Maybe part of why we do what we do stems from the fact that we view dogs as helpless where as a homeless person is just seen as "lazy" and "jobless" by many. (Homelessness is just one of many things we could do more for, and was just the example here.) |

At the company I used to work for, they gave each employee $300 to donate to 3 charities from a list of about 100. The year I was there, they had to put a cap on the donations to the humane society because they wanted people to give money to actual human charities. I think there's a general apathy towards large charities because so much of the money is wasted on administrative costs, lobbying, etc. I'm not saying there aren't great charities out there, blah blah....but I know a lot of people who resent United Way for this. Plus, puppies and kittens are way cuter than homeless guys. |

So, the case is a big deal and a serious thing and everything, but here's the part I find interesting. I don't know if anyone remembers, but I seem to recall Vick growing his hair out near the beginning of his NFL career (I think between his first and second seasons) and stating that he wasn't going to cut it until he won a super bowl. I'm not sure if a statement/action like that can be chalked up to youthful ambition, a lack of perspective, overconfidence, positive thinking, or maybe some combination of those, but I have always been a little intrigued by that pledge. It strikes me as odd how people in general can be so sure of future titles or successes for certain athletes, even though someone like Dan Marino would be buried in his own hair if he ever took such a gamble. There's probably a life lesson in there, but I digress. Short story long, Michael Vick got a haircut. In what was almost certainly an image-conscious move, Vick showed up for court without his cornrows, but with a much better looking, shorter hair style. I'm actually not sure if he was even keeping up with the hair growing, but I know it has been in cornrows for all these years and seemed to be pretty long recently. Whatever the case, I thought I'd bring it up since coverage of his hair has been seriously neglected in the mainstream media reports that I have seen. As a side note, I don't know why everyone is so surprised that Vick is in this trouble. Doesn't everyone know that getting indicted on dogfighting charges happens exactly four years after you're on the cover of Madden? That's part of the curse. Wake up. |

Does anyone remember Jim Carey (thought not). When he first started, before In Living Color, he wrote himself a check for $1 million, in hopes his career would allow him to cash it. Turns out he was eventually. Similar to what Jon mentioned. I think it's great to have goals, but sometimes people get cocky. Also, it's important to say that I've hated everything Jim Carey has done outside of In Living Color. |

The Simpson's writers talked on a commentary about how Homer had been abusing Bart at the drop of a hat for like 8 or so years (at the time), and they never got much flak for it, but there was one episode where Homer did the "Why you little! [strangle]" to Santa's Little Helper (the dog) and they practically got death threats. Even though some things are objectively worse, people just love their dogs. | ||

Lately some of our little pictures/icons haven't been loading next to the names in our comments header and when I first read this comment, it only had a blank white box by it. And I sat for about a minute trying to figure out how "Alex" posted something on this topic in the middle of our softball game. I was really confused and then I realized it was Alex Alex, not PackOne Alex. I hadn't confused the two of them since the days when the football picks page had them both with Packer logos only. It's kind of interesting how I seem to depend on those little pictures. On a related note, Matt reminded me yesterday that I had PackOne's phone number on our roster sheet and so I added it into my phone under "PackOne." And I don't even have an Alex in there already. |

Actually it was "revealed" pretty much right away. Back when Packone first started coming here he and Alex argued about pretty much everything for pretty much no reason, and we used joke about the battle of the Alex's. I can't find any threads though. You know when you do that thing where for whatever reason you start writing/seeing a word over and over and like the 50th time you start thinking about it and all of a sudden it doesn't look right anymore? I just kind of had that happen. A-l-e-x struck me as a very strange name, for some reason. |
