Not a Vick-tim… In a statement made by NAACP President Dennis Courtland Hayes on Thursday, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick “is not a victim,” and “should be held accountable.” Hayes also said Vick should be welcomed back to the Falcons and the community after his prison sentence is completed. As far as L4L is concerned, Michael Vick should never play another down of football, even if he is black and has a civil rights group backing him. Just imagine what the response would be if Brett Favre killed a bunch of dogs… Pro Bowlers to toilet bowlers… The new trend in the NFL, apparently, is to part ways with the heart of your defense, and for no logical reason. Washington Redskins linebacker Lemar Marshall, and Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter, both former Pro Bowlers and the heart of their respective team’s defenses, were released last week for no rhyme or reason. Maybe the Buccaneers should follow suit in this recent trend and part ways with the aging Derrick Brooks, who is determined to miss a record number of tackles this season as he continues to embarrass himself as the liability he has become… Dubya’s boys score 30… In a record setting game, the Texas Rangers piled up 30 runs on the Baltimore Orioles last Wednesday, all coming after the third inning of the game. It’s an amazing feat for any team to accomplish, sure… but even more astonishing is that it didn’t happen to the Devil Rays, who have compiled the worst bullpen, statistically speaking, in the last 90 years… Hurricanes expanding enterprise… In an announcement made last week by the University of Miami (FL), the team will reportedly move their home football games from the grungy and run-down Orange Bowl, the team’s home for seven decades, following the 2007 college football season, to Dolphin Stadium. The announcement may delight the fans who dreaded attending Miami home games in the ghetto-ridden Orange Bowl neighborhood, but could mean trouble for the city of Miami. The move will mean the players of the Miami Hurricanes football program, who are all drug dealers and couldn’t meet minimum NCAA education requirements if they attended a public university, will undoubtedly move their drug-selling enterprises to Dolphin Stadium and its surrounding neighborhoods. As if you couldn’t buy cocaine there already… after all, it is Miami…
