BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Pun of the day.

Pun of the day.


Michael Vick pled guilty to some of the charges against him on Monday, and he'll be sentenced on October 10th. He could get up to 5 years in jail, though prosecutors are asking for 12-18 months. His plea was actually to some kind of interstate commerce racketeering charge, not to brutally killing pit bulls with his bare hands, or to betting on them. As it turns out, the betting is the real problem for him in terms of his football career, since all pro sports in the US have very stringent regulations about not allowing their players to bet on any sports, for "get in debt to bookies and start throwing games" reasons. An NBA referee got caught doing that just a few months ago, so Vick was sure to avoid admitting to betting since he's hoping to return to the league after his jail time.

Estimates are that he's going to lose around $100,000,000 dollars as a result of this, counting salary and endorsements. Hope you really, really enjoyed the dog fights, Mike. They were expensive.

In other news, Vick's former team (though they haven't cut him yet for salary cap reasons) played on Monday night, and this is an actual line from the official wire service game recap. I'm quoting it since I suspect it might be edited out in future versions. I groaned and laughed. Graughed?
Outside, about a dozen picketers waved signs such as "Ban Vick Permanently" and "Bad Newz Vick Shames Atlanta." Across the street, a similar number of Vick supporters barked out a much different sentiment, aided by a megaphone: "We love Mike! We love Mike!"
Yes, they really went there...

Dogs are a lot of fun, and while they may seem dirty to cat-loving bobos, they do not deserve to die horribly just because they did not win a dog fight.

Vick is a dick - 5 years would serve him right!
