Party at the Vick House: Korean Dinner After!

Clinton Portis gives new meaning to the phrase "backwards-ass country black". And gives the true measure of his intelligence with following MENSA worthy comment:

"I don't know if he was fighting dogs or not, but it's his property, it's his dog," Portis said. "If that's what he wants to do, do it. I think people should mind their business."

When told that dog fighting is a felony, Portis replied, "It can't be too bad of a crime." Citing he was from deep back woods Mississippi, he stated "I know a lot of back roads that have the dog fighting if you want to go see it."

Here's a CLUE. It's a FELONY you frikkin' moron. Looking it up in the dictionary, which is something you're obviously not familiar with, give us "One of several grave crimes, such as murder, rape, or burglary, punishable by a more stringent sentence". That means it's a SERIOUS crime, and AGAINST the law, and you GO TO JAIL for it.

Just goes to show you that athletic prowess has NOTHING to do with and NO COLRRELATION with intelligence nor common sense. It just boggles the mind...

Steroids in MLB. I have always been both a forgiver and comdemner of juiced baseball players. On one hand, steroids don't make you better able to hit a pitched baseball, which is still IMHO one of the, if not THE, toughest things in sports (next to Tilam beating me at golf and getting any married woman to play pelvic ping-pong). So from that standpoint, steroids are a worthless investment.

However, steroids DO make warning track power 3 row home runs, and THAT is the big issue here. 20 more feet from the warning track is a round tripper, so high flies will travel over the fence easier than they would if you had not done the sauce.

Then again, the difference between hitting a ball 385 feet to dead center and 405 feet over the wall is probably a millimeter on the bathead, steroids don't help you align that better.

Conversely, if you're off that millimeter and you DO steroids, then it's a home run.

See? I can debate myself all day...

Jason Giambi. Hmm, what to say about him. Well, he's already admitted to using 'roids, but he swears that he did not use them after signing the Yankee contract, which is all of a sudden in doubt. And now the Yankees are going to consider voiding the contract with Giambi if it's found that he did do 'roids after signing with New York. Again, as with Barry Bonds (unfortunately), unless something is PROVEN, you can't accuse and act upon speculation. I'm NOT in favor of voiding the contract of Giambi now for stuff he did a few years ago. Water under the bridge.

Oh, and Bud Selig, it's UNFORGIVEABLE that you don't plan on being there when Bonds breaks Aaron's career MLB home run record. Sure, he's at the center of the BALCO investigation. Sure, we have testimony that he did performance enhancing drugs. BUT YOU HAVEN'T PROVEN ANYTHING. And this is a significant record, and you SHOULD be there. I've always thought you were an asshole anyway, now that you no longer own the Brewers they are doing well, but this is an honor in baseball you need to recognize. If Bonds is proven to have done drugs later, react as you will. But to have accusations that are basically unproven guide you conduct, makes you a big asshole. I don't like Bonds much, and I believe he's done "something", but without proof he's another baseball player who will break a record, and you owe it to the GAME to be there, regardless of your personal feelings towards Barry and his alleged drug use.

I thought we were innocent until proven guilty?
