Sick Vick

Hey Roger Goodell, Commissioner of the NFL.....suspend Michael Vick for life now. Thank you...ES Furniss

If you've seen the news you know by now Atlanta Falcons QB Mike Vick has been indicted by the Feds for running a dog fighting operation. While ESPN.com runs stories suggesting the commish can't touch Vick until he's found guilty of something, the reality is that Mr. Goodell can suspend Vick NOW. Vick met with Goodell at the NFL draft in April and told the Commish he had nothing to do with dog fighting. Now the league faces bad publicity and hordes of animal rights activists protesting outside stadiums if the Commish doesn't take action. Considering the evidence indicates Vick gambled on the outcome of these fights, Goodell can suspend Vick for that infraction alone. Its been done before....Bowie Kuhn once kept Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays out of MLB when they were associated with gamblers after their playing days. What would have happened had Vick taken a financial beating on this sick endeavor? Would a gambler have leaned on Vick and asked him to throw a game to settle a debt? If you associate with gamblers, you should not be allowed to participate in professional sports.

But Vick did more than gamble...he also killed dogs because they didn't meet his fighting standards. He didn't give these dogs a shot and put them to sleep. He killed them with his own sick hands. Ban Michael Vick now Mr. Goodell.

Speaking of sick...the loss of life in Mr. Bush's war continues to become more obscene daily. When will this insanity end? Democrats and Republicans alike all have blood on their hands. We don't need political grandstanding. We need leaders and we have none. Further proof the war is lost:http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/18/washington/18intel.html

Not only are we losing the war but the evidence shows beyond the shadow of a doubt that we were lied to (like we didn't know that already):http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/17/AR2007071702007.html?nav=hcmodule

Of course, how can we discuss the validity of the war when we have to determine whether its a good thing for a girl to be called a princess:http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/chi-mxa0718tempoprincessjul18,1,491345.story?coll=chi-homepagenews-utl
