The week is over, and I am settled into my new surroundings at Florida State University. Let’s get this puppy rolling (oops, no pun intended).

The case that never was, goes to the dogs
I think we saw this coming. High profile athlete finally fails to outrun and outpay the law. After hearing what Vick pleaded guilty to: gambling, killing, putting the money up for this whole operation, I want to vomit in a cup, and then pour that vomit on his head. This isn’t about if dogfighting is worse then sexual assault, or some other criminal offense. This borders along the lines of sickening, and inhumane. Which leads me to thought #2 on our Superbad Jackass of the week!

As far as the NFL is concerned, what’s the bigger deal here?
Roger Goodell and Co. have made it loud and clear they have a strong disdain for Vick’s actions, but I’m begining to think that the gambling part is a bigger deal to them. Okay, it’s become really clear that that’s the case. However, I think that is retarted to be blunt. Think about it: The NFL has amassed this empire through, uh, I don’ t know, gambling? And it’s not like Vick is gambling on football, his team, or a single game for that matter. Yes, gambling on dogs killing each other is disturbing on so many fronts, but what the NFL is seeing, is that he gambled at all. What bothers me about that is gambling should be the least of Vick’s problems. Could you imagine if we found Usama or Osama Bin Laden, put him to trial, and found that he gambled on how many suicide bombers could kill innocent people compared to the fact that he had an operation that resulted in death and destruction. Yes, that’s a little extreme, but the point here is that the killing is a MUCH BIGGER DEAL then gambling. No matter what! No matter what! Yes, gambling is wrong, but we’d be naive to think it doesn’t happen, like, uh, I don’t know 24-7 everywhere. Ridiculous. Really ridiculous.

Running up the score:
30-3? The Ravens versus Houston? Nah. That was Baltimore’s beat down to the hands of the Texas Rangers this past week in the first game of a double dip. Not going to lie, I almost fell out of my chair when I first heard about the mind boggling score. But what I think got overlooked about such an amazing game, was the fact that the Rangers scored in just four innings. That my friends is amazing. That means, they got shutout in more innings than they scored. Just think about that for a second, and then comprehend that they got 30 runs in a game. In a dreadful year where the Rangers have sat in the basement, at least they got one night to put their hurting on a team even worse. Which leads me to…

This week’s “why we need the NFL even more” one minute thought:
Pennant races are fun, but baseball is general is just boring. I mean, it’s boring compared to the speed and exhilarating action football offers. Now I understand that baseball is a different type of sport, but having 162 games, just dries out the meaning of games. Nothing beats football and that “every game” has a ton of meaning scenario. And that’s why for the long foreseeable future football will reign supreme in this country.

If the playoffs started today:
The Mets, Cubs, Padres, and Diamondbacks would be in for the National League.
The Red Sox, Indians, Angels, and Mariners would be in for the American league.

Yeah, the Mariners. Not the Yankees. The Mariners. What a season Seattle, what a year.

Join us next week when the going gets good, and the college football season gets started. Woot woot. Enjoy TBS movies in the meantime. Goodnight everybody!
