Deion Sanders is an Idiot

If you’re up for a laugh, read this great commentary on the Mike Vick situation by Neon Deion. Here are some excerpts, with my commentary. Excuse me while I rant for a minute or two.

What a dog means to Vick might be a lot different than what he means to you or I. Hold on, don’t start shaking your head just yet. Listen to me. Some people kiss their dogs on the mouth. Some people let their dogs eat from their plate. Some people dress their dogs in suits more expensive than mine, if you can believe that.

And some people enjoy proving they have the biggest, toughest dog on the street. You’re probably not going to believe this, but I bet Vick loves the dogs that were the biggest and the baddest. {Really? What about the ones that weren’t the baddest – the ones he killed?!} Maybe, he identified with them in some way.

{Is his point that some people don’t love animals that much so then it’s OK if they mistreat them? So I'll take that rationale and extend it to people. Since I don't like people as much as some people do, I should be able to treat them any way I want (gouge their eyes out, murder them, etc.).}

Why are we indicting him? Was he the ringleader? Is he the big fish? ... Was he wrong? Absolutely. Was he stupid? Can’t argue with that. Was he immature? No doubt. But is he the ringleader? I just can’t see it. {And as we all know, in our criminal justice system, if Deion Sanders can’t see it, then it’s not true. Also, stop asking so many damn questions.}

I believe Vick had a passion for dogfighting. {Some people have a passion for cocaine. Hitler had a passion for Aryans. Doesn’t make it legal.} I know many athletes who share his passion. The allure is the intensity and the challenge of a dog fighting to the death. It’s like ultimate fighting, but the dog doesn’t tap out when he knows he can’t win. {Right. The dog DIES, idiot. And that's wrong.}

It reminds me of when I wore a lot of jewelry back in the day because I always wanted to have the biggest chain or the biggest, baddest car. It gives you status. {STATUS? You’re making an analogy between wearing jewelry and fighting dogs??? Really?}

Can I pause for a moment to ask you a question?

Who shot Darrant Williams? Remember the Denver Bronco cornerback? I’m just more concerned about bringing to justice someone who killed a human. {This case has nothing to do with Mike Vick’s case. It’s not like the cops working on the Williams case picked up and moved to Virginia to deal with the Vick situation, you dolt.}

We’re attacking this dogfighting ring the same way a teenager attacks his MySpace page after school (by the way parents, make sure you monitor your kids). {I don’t understand this analogy AT ALL. But thanks for the tip.} We should have the same passion for man that we have for man’s best friend.

How will this end up? I have no idea. All I know is Falcons fans better pray because Vick’s backup is Joey Harrington. Enough said. {Oh, OK, so if the Falcons had a better backup then it would be OK. But since they need Vick, we should let him off the hook.}

God bless and God willing I’ll hollah at you next week. {Die.}

This man is a moron. Apparently anyone can write a column these days. He has no qualifications...was this published somewhere that people can actually read it? Unfortunately, there are still a lot of people who idolize Vick and don't see his actions as offensive... He deserves what is coming to him in the showers.
