Vick Deserves 2nd Chance

What is it about dogs that make people lose their common sense? I seriously do not understand it. This might be because I have never owned a dog but I think there has to be something more to it than that.

The reason I say this is because ever since
Michael Vick was first arrested for dog fighting over 2 years ago people have been saying some things that blow my mind. Comments that make me stop and wonder if these people are retarded or if they have been kicked in the head.

Comments such as, "what Vick did was worse than rape." Oh really? Killing a dog is worse than raping somebody? I heard a man say this on the radio today and it blew my mind. This man is basically saying that he would rather see his wife raped than his dog killed. You have got to be kidding me.

Bob McCowan of the Fan 590 said today that killing dogs should carry the death penalty. This man legitimately believes that killing a dog equates to the same crime as killing 5 people or bombing a building. He thinks Vick should be on death row with mass murderers. This isn't fake and I am not making this up.

Now I am not going to sit here and condone what Vick did. It was wrong, stupid, and cruel. Is it worse than rape or murder? Of course not. What sane person would say otherwise?

But Vick has paid his debt to society. The man spent 18 months in prison. PRISON. Not some health spa jail but Federal Pound me in the Ass Prison (Office Space reference). He took his punishment and served his time like a man. Now he is a free man and is allowed to live the rest of his life in anyway he sees fit and people are pissed.

He signed a 2 year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles and everyone is in an uproar. People are saying he should be banned from the NFL and shouldn't be allowed to play football again. To these people I have only one thing to say "I thought this was America!!!!"

People need to calm down and realize that everyone makes mistakes and no one is infallible. Michael Vick is just another convict looking for a 2nd chance in life. Does he not deserve that? He made a mistake, who doesn't? I made the mistake of seeing the movie 'The Goods' tonight. No one is perfect.

But in all seriousness Vick has suffered enough. He lost over $100 million. He lost 18 months of his life to prison. Most importantly he lost the respect of hundreds of thousands of people.

If the man wants to play football and a team will sign him than he should be free to do so without any repercussions.

I have a feeling that this whole Michael Vick thing will blow over by mid-season. People will find someone new to hate. Someone somewhere will mess up and the focus will shift away from Vick. It will also help that he will be riding the pine as
Donovan Mcnabb's backup. Vick signed as a quarterback and the Eagles already have a starter. Less playing time means less exposure. Although PETA is crazy and will be causing shit all year.

Finally I want to address the people who feel that Vick is bad for the NFL. These people need to learn that there are much worse people in the league than Michael Vick.
Leonard Little of the St. Louis Rams was convicted of manslaughter and still plays. Ray Lewis was involved in a triple murder. Donte Stallworth killed a man while driving drunk a few months ago. Compared to these crimes what Vick did was tame.

Vick deserves his 2nd chance at life. He was sent to prison and served his time. He has done everything that has been asked of him by the law. If the law believes that he has paid for his crimes than that should be good enough for the general public.

Let he without sin cast the first stone. That's right. According to Jesus you all need to shut up and let the man be. God just owned you.

The Difference Between a Game and a Sport


As I was driving home tonight I was listening to the Fan 590 (sports talk radio for those of you not living in Canada) and the host of the night show started talking about Golf in the Olympics. He said that he didn't believe golf should be an Olympic sport and he also claimed that Golf isn't a sport. He believes that golf is a game due to the fact that golfers aren't what he would consider "athletes." I found this criteria grossly insufficient so I thought of my own and my method for determining whether something is a game or a sport will end all debates.

The way to determine if something is a game or a sport is simple. If an athlete from another sport can come into a different league and be one of the best players than that is a game. If not it is a sport. I realise that is poorly worded but just stick with me for a bit.

I will use volleyball as my first example. Volleyball is not a sport. It is a game and this is why. If LeBron James decided he wanted to play volleyball then within one week of practice and training he would be the best volleyball player around and would easily represent the USA at the 2012 summer Olympics.

James is 6 '8 and can more than likely jump higher than any volleyball player out there. Tell me he wouldn't dominate volleyball as the best net presence ever. He would block every shot anywhere near him and would destroy the ball when he went for spikes. He also has great lateral movement, speed, and long arms which would help him get to balls better. Basically he is the perfect volleyball player.

Because LeBron could so easily make the switch to volleyball it means that volleyball is not a sport. Could LeBron become the greatest hockey player in the world in one week? Never. What about baseball? Not a chance. Tennis? Unlikely. These are all sports.

You don't even have to confine yourself to just LeBron James either. Countless NBA, NFL, and MLB players could easily make the jump to volleyball. Give me a starting lineup or Yao Ming, Shaq, Kobe, LeBron, Larry Fitzgerald, and Carl Crawford and I guarantee they win gold with little to no training.

Volleyball isn't the only example however. Lacrosse is another activity that is mislabeled as a sport when really it is a game.

Make an all-star team of all the people who currently play professional lacrosse and I bet they get dusted by an assortment of athletes from other professional sports.

The system is fool proof.

If athletes from other sports couldn't make the jump and dominate then the activity can properly be labeled a sport and not a game.

This would settle so many arguments between people at bars as when Curling came on you could realise that it is indeed a sport as not anybody can just show up to a rink and curl well. The important part is the word 'well.'

Anybody can show up to a tennis court and hit a ball around but not just anyone could dominate in tennis with little or no training.

So everyone out there who curls, Brent Rohrer, and has to constantly stand up for your sport you now have a theory to back you up. And to everyone out there who plays volleyball or lacrosse sorry but you don't play a sport. You play a game.

Feel free to leave comments to rip apart this theory. I look forward to them. Or if you can think of more games that are mislabeled as sports comment on that.

The Old Guard


I started this blog over a year ago and did so because I was bored at work. I originally just wrote random thoughts mixed with some cursing and bad jokes. I quickly found out that I preferred a more serious approach to writing and started making my posts longer and filled with a bit more research. Now I won't sit here and pretend that I spend hours researching everything I write but I like to think that my writing doesn't come off as ramblings or incoherent crap.

Since starting this blog I have discovered that I have a strong interest in writing and took a few English courses at school and have spent more time reading in the hopes of becoming a better writer.

I have now made it my goal to acquire a job in the journalism world as a sports writer. The problem was I didn't know where to start. Then I was given an answer.

In an a speaking engagement at Google head offices author Michael Lewis told the story of how he broke into the world of journalism. He said that he would write a story and then mail that story to magazine and newspaper editors across the country. Eventually he got a response to one of his letters and was given his first job. I figured if it worked for Michael Lewis then maybe it could work for me.

So I wrote a blog post, making sure to spend extra time editing and researching and emailed it to over 200 sports writers in North America. I awoke the next morning anxious to see the response from the people I would one day like to be my peers. I was hit with a rude awakening.

Myth: Sports writers are all guys who love to talk sports and will do so with anyone.

Fact: They are all assholes who DESPISE bloggers and will do very little to aid you in even the most minor of ways.

In response to the email I sent out I was blasted by over 100 sports writers saying all kinds of negative things about me and my writing. Over 50 of them asked for me to never email them again because they were "too busy" and "didn't have time" to read fan emails. More told me that they were tired of bloggers trying to muscle their way into an industry in which they had no business being in.

Before I continue I want to say that there were a few writers who took the time to respond to my email in a positive way. Jack Curry of the New York Times was especially helpful and gave me some encouragement as did Dan Le Batard. I am thankful to the people who were helpful but they were such a small minority.

What I learned from my mass email was that 95% of sports writers hate bloggers and feel that they are taking away the legitimacy of the industry.

Now I can understand the fact that these writers may be annoyed that the newspaper industry is suffering but does that give them the right to be so openly rude? A simple "stick to it and keep writing" is all the response anyone could ever ask for. It takes more time to write an angry email that is 2-3 paragraphs long than it does to write 1-2 sentences of encouragement.

I now understand that the sports journalism industry is one that consists of an 'Old Guard.' An established circle of men and women who have been around for a long period of time and do not want any new blood coming in and taking away their positions. Men like Woody Paige, Bob Ryan and Bill Plaschke who have been sports journalists for more than 25 years and are the best of the best.

I realise that it may sound naive of me to believe that over 200 people would take the time out of their day to encourage a complete stranger to work hard so that they could one day take their job. I didn't expect that. What I did expect however was at least some semblance of courtesy. All the same the mass email experiment opened my eyes so that I now realise the uphill battle I am facing.

Journalists are threatened by bloggers and feel that they are forcing their way into the industry. These writers fail to see that the area in which they have the advantage is quality. I would for instance rather read a Bob Ryan article on David Ortiz and steroids that comes out a week after the fact than 100 blog posts minutes after the story breaks. The reason is quality. Bob Ryan is a great writer. His work is far superior to 99.9% of anything written on the Internet.

This is an advantage I feel many journalists do not understand and the lack of understanding causes them to feel hostile and threatened. It may explain why so many lashed out at me. Who knows?

What I do know is that no amount of rude emails is going to stop me from reaching my goal. If anything they will only encourage me to continue to that one day I can send a mass email with my published story where the subject line reads: "SUCK IT!"

The Weekend That Was


Busy week in the world of sports as UFC 101 took place on Saturday, Tiger Woods chased history on Sunday, the Red Sox got bent over all weekend, and teenagers beat up civilians for 20 cents. Without further delay let's get to the stories you need to know.

Who's Your Daddy?!

Going in to their 4 game series with the Yankees in New York the Red Sox sat 2 1/2 games back of the division lead. Coming out of their 4 game series the Red Sox now sit 6 1/2 games back. That's what a 4 game sweep will do to you. The Sox were swept by the Yankees in a 4 game series for the first time in 24 years and looked pathetic the whole time.

Tell me how a team with the offensive threats the Red Sox possess score only 6 runs in 4 games. At one point going 30 innings without scoring a single run.

Going into the series the Red Sox had beaten the Yankees 8 games in a row and people were saying that the rivalry was over as it had become one sided. Now the Sox have to be on the other end of that and it blows.

It also needs to be stated that John Smoltz had his career officially euthanized on Friday night in front of more than 40,000 people. RIP Smoltz.


Woods Wins Again

On Sunday Tiger Woods won his 70th career PGA tour event moving him into 3rd all-time behind Jack Nicklaus and Sam Snead. Woods accomplished the feat at 33 which was 10 years faster than Nicklaus did it.

The event Tiger won was the Bridgestone Invitational an event he pretty much owns. It was his 7th time winning the tournament (another PGA record) out of 10 tries and he has finished in the top 5 every one of those 10 tournaments.

Going into the 16th hole Woods was neck and neck with Padraig Harrington but Harrington buckled under the pressure and Woods was able to close out the tournament winning by 4 strokes.

Woods has won 5 times on the tour this year with 4 of those wins coming in the tournament right before a major. Next week is the Players Championship and Tiger will of course be the favorite as he looks to add more W's to his stat sheet.

UFC 101 Recap

The first 2 fights on the card were uneventful and boring as both went to a decision and involved little to no real action.

The 3rd fight, the true UFC debut of Amir Sadollah, was also brutal but for a different reason. Sadollah was rocked by a punch from Johny Hendricks and was attempting to stand back up when the fight was stopped. Sadollah was clearly able to defend himself and was in the process of standing up when the ref called the fight. So sad that these refs don't understand what is happening in the ring.

If a fighter is sitting there eating punches then stop it. If he is moving to his feet then don't. It isn't rocket science and I think more people would rather have late stoppages than early ones. Now Sadollah is forced to take that loss on his record, which will be the first of his career, and start again.

Next Anderson Silva toyed with Forrest Griffin in a manner that was laughable. Silva head faked Griffin countless times and would pop him with one good shot and then step back. Silva even offered to help Griffin off the mat after he had knocked him down which was a total show of disrespect. The fight would end late in the first round after Silva knocked down Griffin with a soft jab and Griffin would beg for mercy. Here is a link to the whole fight if you want to see it: http://www.mmaroot.com/anderson-silva-vs-forrest-griffin-fight-video-ufc-101/.

After Griffin got beat he ran from the ring refusing to be interviewed. This is becoming common for Forrest who acts like a total baby when he loses. He is one of my favorite fighters and this pisses me off as he should act like a man.

The main event was the Lightweight Championship match between Kenny Florian and BJ Penn. Florian spent the entire fight trying to push BJ up against the cage and tire him out to eventually score a take down but it never worked. BJ withstood the onslaught and in the 4th round took down Florian and choked him out easily.


Fighting for Spare Change

Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane, the top overall pick in the 2007 NHL draft, was arrested early Sunday morning in Buffalo, N.Y., and charged with robbery and other counts following an altercation with a cab driver in his hometown.

The 20-year-old Kane and his cousin, James M. Kane, 21, were taken into police custody at about 5 a.m. ET after allegedly punching the driver and taking $15 in fare they had given him after he said he didn't have 20 cents in change, a police report says. Police say the cousins apparently caught a cab from the city's downtown nightclub district at about 4 a.m. Sunday.

You make millions of dollars and you are punching out cabbies for quarters? Weak dude. I wonder if this will affect sales of NHL 2010 which is scheduled to be released in September. Maybe this will start a spin off of the Madden Curse and be the NHL curse.

UFC 101 Predictions


UFC 101 is this Saturday and I am excited to say that I will be viewing the event at Shoeless Joe's where they have the best lattuce fries in Southern Ontario. Now the event itself doesn't have the same draw as UFC 100 but is still going to be a great card with lots of star power and history on the line.

Of course Anderson "the Spider" Silva will be fighting and looking to improve on his winning streak inside the octagon by getting his 10th straight victory. If he wins he will more than likely hold onto his belt past October which would give him 3 full years as UFC Middleweight champion which I am sure is some kind of record.

Also on the card is BJ Penn who, if he beats Kenny Florian, will legitimize his legacy as one of the best fighters of all time. I say this because it will be the first time Penn has beaten serious competition as lightweight. Jens Pulver, Joe Stevenson, and Sean Sherk don't count as serious contenders because Pulver was old, Stevenson is one dimensional, and Sherk is useless unless on steroids. Florian will be the first test for Penn who had beaten top welterweights in the past but never a top lightweight. Penn may set the modern standard for success across weight divisions.

UFC 101 will also mark the debut of Amir Sadollah. Sadollah has fought in the UFC before winning the finale of TUF over a year ago but has since been injured and unable to fight. This time he is 100% and ready to fight and will finally get to show the world his skills.

Now that you are pumped for the event it is time for some predictions:

BJ "the Prodigy" Penn (13-5-1) vs Kenny "KenFlo" Florian (13-3)

This is a match up of the best nickname is MMA (the Prodigy) against the worst nickname in MMA (KenFlo). It also marks the first true test in BJ Penn's lightweight career.

Now Penn is coming off a devastating loss to Georges St. Pierre where he was dominated for 20 minutes and then was forced to submit due to fatigue. Penn is hungry for a win but seems to still be hung up on the St. Pierre fight as he was been all over the news saying GSP was on steroids when they fought and that he illegally greased himself. Penn may be looking past Florian when he needs to be paying attention to him.

Florian on the other hand is 100% focused and has his trash talking game on blast. He has ripped off 6 straight wins in the octagon and has looked amazing while doing so. His ground game is unreal and he has some of the sharpest elbows in MMA. He also has the cardio to go late into rounds which he will need against Penn.

I personally hate BJ Penn and love Kenny Florian. I think Florian is the smartest fighter in MMA and has been improving every fight since he has been in the UFC. I think he can survive BJ Penn's initial assault and eventually tire him out enough to get him on the ground and work the ground and pound.

Prediction: Florian via TKO due to strikes in the 4th round.

Anderson "the Spider Silva (24-4) vs Forrest Griffin (16-5)

Finally Anderson Silva will be fighting someone where he will need to try. In his last two fights Silva has faced opponents who wanted nothing to do with him and were content on either running away the whole time (Patrick Cote) or laying on their back like a broad (Thales Leites). Silva will have no such luck with Griffin who is a dog and will push the pace the whole fight.

Griffin is coming off a tough loss to Rashad Evans and is looking to rebuild his reputation and start climbing back up the ladder. Griffin has always wanted to fight tough guys but I think in this case he may have bitten off more than he can chew. Silva is no joke and is unlike anyone Griffin has fought before. Then again people said the same thing before he fought Shogun and look how that ended.

How does Griffin win this fight? Not on the feet. Not in a decision. Good luck submitting Silva. I love Forrest but I just don't see a scenario where he has his hand raised at the end of the fight. He loves to brawl and exchange and Silva is the very last person you want to exchange with. At least Silva will try for this fight and should entertain rather than sedate the crowd.

Prediction: Silva via KO in the 2nd round

Amair Sadollah (2-0) vs Johny Hendricks (5-0)

Now no one has seen Amir fight in a long time because of injury but from what I have read he is a beast at the gym and is being compared to Forrest Griffin. That being said there is no substitute for experience and in that area Sadollah is weak. I am not saying Hendricks is a veteran or anything but 5 fights is more than 2.

Sadollah is more of a ground fighter having won both his professional fights by submission where as Hendricks prefers to stand. Neither has beaten anyone of note but I am going to go with the likable Sadollah.

It is worth noting that if Sadollah loses he can always fall back on his television career.

Prediction: Sadollah via Unanimous Decision

Kendall "Da Spyder" Grove (12-5) vs Ricardo "Big Dog" Almeida

Two of the top 10 worst nicknames face off in this middleweight bout. The sad thing about this fight is that it actually has some title implications. Brutal I know.

Kendall Grove is a trash fighter who is coming off a lucky one punch knockout of Jason Day while Almeida is a decent fighter who is coming off a decision victory over the always dangerous, yeah right, Matt Horwich. Seriously how did this fight make the main card?

Kendall doesn't have the power to knockout Almeida or the ground game to stop him. Almeida should win this fight easily. At least he better so I get to see at least 1 non-broadcasted fight.

Prediction: Almeida via Submission in the 2nd round.

Josh "the Dentist" Neer (25-7-1) vs Kurt "Batman" Pellegrino (19-4)

I just want to say that Pellegrino might be the only person I know of that likes Batman more than Calvin Burrows.

Now Neer is a submission specialist who has a great chin and and is as tough as they come. He is coming off an impressive submission victory over TUF winner Mac Danzig and looking to get a winning streak going.

Pellegrino is known for his ground game and boasts an excellent chin as well. He recently beat Rob Emerson like he stole something and looks to try and climb the ladder as well.

Both these fighters match up very well except for Neer's ability to work submissions is greater than Pellegrino's. I think that will make the difference in the fight as Neer will constantly be trying to put Pellegrino in submissions but in all honesty it is a true coin flip.

Prediction: Neer via Unanimous Decision

So there you go. Predictions you can take to the bank. Seriously. In my UFC 100 predictions i went 6-2. What up!!

Toug Guy Syndrome


One of the most iconic sports photos of the past 15 years is the photo of Nolan Ryan with Robin Ventura in a headlock. The reason the photo is so cherished and sought after is because it displays an aging Ryan in the twilight of his career absolutely manhandling the much young Ventura as if it was an easy task. This photo was a symbol of Ryan's career as he never backed down and was known for being a tough guy. Unlike today's pitchers who simply back pedal, throw their glove, and wait for teammates to intervene Ryan welcome batters who dared rush his mound. Nolan Ryan was a tough guy.


Prince Fielder is not.

Last night His Royal Fatness got beaned by Guillermo Mota in the 9th inning of a game in which the Dodgers were beating the Brewers 17-4. Fielder was clearly upset but instead of taking any serious action he opted to grin like a moron and walk to 1st base. Incident over right? Not even close. Fielder decided his best course of action would be to try and rush the Dodgers locker room after the game as if he was going to bust the door down and lay waste to the whole room. Fielder did this because he suffers from a disease common in modern athletes, TGS, otherwise known as Tough Guy Syndrome.

Instead of rushing the mound and dealing with Mota like a man Fielder instead chose the route in which he would look like a tough guy, by trying to take on security and needing to be held back by teammates, but would never really need to engage in any sort of physical contact.

Fielder is not the only one who suffers from TGS however as today it is an epidemic that is sweeping across professional sports.

Football players, basketball players, baseball players, and worst of all hockey players suffer from TGS. They all try and pretend like they are tough guys who will hand out severe punishment if they are messed with but in the end they are all Cotonelle soft.

One recent moment which will serve as a perfect example of TGS was the 2009 NBA Finals. The participants were Pau Gasol (a lanky Spaniard) and Mickael Pietrus (a Frenchman). Gasol went up for a dunk and Pietrus fouled him from behind. Gasol stepped forward and bumped chests with Pietrus who stood his ground with no retaliation. Now you may be sitting there thinking 'what's wrong with that?' Let me tell you.

You don't bump chests with another man and start swearing at them unless you are going to actually do something otherwise you look like a punk. Yes it proves that you have seen enough movies and rap videos to have learned how to ACT tough but not to actually BE tough.

If you aren't going to actually do something about a situation then don't react at all. Either walk away and be the bigger man or throw a punch and let people know that you don't suffer from TGS but in fact you actually are tough.

It is not just Frenchmen and tall lanky white guys that suffer from TGS though. TGS can affect people of any shape or size. Look no further than the NFL for proof. These so called 'tough guys' who threaten one another verbally on the field and constantly let people know that they are not to be messed with are the same men who cry to officials when calls don't go their way and sulk to reporters about playing time, bad calls, and their role within the team.

Professional athletes put on a front to try and pretend that they are 'hard' or 'mean' when really they are just overpaid cry babies who's last goal in life is to get into a physical altercation where they aren't wearing their pads or equipment.

Prince Fielder is yet another tragic victim of TGS and as sure as I breath not the last.

What I Learned From Twitter


#1 Chad Ochocinco can't take criticsim

Foxsports.com writer Mark Kriegel wrote a column today trashing Ocho and calling him a "loser" and a "chump ballplayer." In response to the column Ocho went a little nuts on Twitter and throughout the day had some quality updates that had me laughing. Here are just a few of them for your enjoyment:

"Mark Kriegel you're an idiot, you want a Lil fame I'll help, because your story today sucked just like you did in school!!!"

"Mark Kriegel you can come work for me, you're wasting away as a writer for foxsports,from me and my followers you get a Child Please!!!"

"Please read article on foxsports.com, this is how you know there's nothing going on in the world, when enjoying yourself and yo job is wrong"

"I can help you make a name for yourself Kriegel, you can't beat em join, you'll never beat me at this, come join, pay raise to!! Straight up"

Seriously after reading this how can anyone not have twitter?


#2 Martellus Bennett is a moron

Bennett, who plays tight end for the Dallas Cowboys, in an avid twitter user and hosts a live stream of himself every night. During this stream he dances, sings, answers questions from fans and just generally acts like a child. Normally this stream is good for nothing more than a few laughs but the other night it got great.

Bennett went on a mini rant about how he believe the US government has the cure for HIV and they simply hold on to the cure to ensure that people die as a means of controlling the population. He does however believe that the government gave Magic Johnson the cure thus explaining how the NBA legend has managed to survive with the disease for over a decade.


#3 Stephon Marbury is an emotional train wreck

Marbury, who in his tweets constantly lets the 'haters' know he can't be held down, decided to host a 24 hour live stream of himself on twitter last week. During this 24 period Marbury took a nap and also took 5 minutes to cry on camera. I swear to god. Click this link if you don't believe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2QEcadC_Rk. By the way the fact that he doesn't have a shirt on is disconcerting to say the least.

Seriously this might be the weirdest thing ever. When I first heard he was going to do this I was kind of pumped. I thought it would be like a 24 hour long version of Cribs. Instead it got way too real and way too weird and so I bailed.

#4 Larry Fitzgerald is a fan of practice

No wonder this man is the best receiver in the NFL. Unlike Allen Iverson Fitzgerald loves to practice. His tweets are always about how he is pumped to get up and work and how he wants to be the best.

Up & ready 2 make 2day a great 1.Never let any1 stand n the way of your dreams.Put faith 1st & WORK WORK WORK!Lets have a great day guys!

Felt pretty good 2day @ practice!Try 2 make everyday @ ur job a gr8 day.Practice & play like some1's after ur job.Stay @ ur best daily!

I can't believe how pumped he is. I mean we're talking about practice! We ain't even talking about the game.


#5 White Guys are Boring

I don't know what it is but every white guy I follow in twitter is boring as hell. Not only are they boring but they aren't funny either. Take a look at some of these gems:

Greg Olsen TE for the Chicago Bears: "btw..how bout stock market these days? lets keep this goin"

Nick Mangold C for the NY Jets: "And camp begins. On my way to the conditioning test."

Mark Sanchez QB for the NY Jets: "Breakfast then AM practice. Back soon"

Steve Nash PG for the Phoenix Suns: "In the nyc training for the upcoming season"

Just brutal. This isn't funny, informative, interesting, or worth reading. All I can say is thank God for Kevin Love.
