Reporter sorry for Vick comment
Pittsburgh reporter said Vick better off raping woman
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- A newspaper reporter who said Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick would have been "better off raping a woman" than being charged with dogfighting has apologized and will no longer appear on the local sports panel TV show where he made the remark.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporter Paul Zeise made the comments Sunday night on the Sports Showdown show on KDKA-TV, a CBS affiliate. He was disagreeing with another panelist who said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell should suspend Vick for the rest of the season because he was indicted on federal dogfighting charges July 17.

From the general publics perception? Maybe, it's hard to put a spin on dogs, much easier on a girl in Colorado, however, there's also the element that the NFL is trying so hard to clean up it's image and punishing players, where the NBA's way of cleaning up it's image is to make players wear suits when they aren't in uniform

Tell that to Mike Tyson.
if the evidence that you committed rape is as strong as the evidence linking Vick to dog fighting is, you are screwed and the punishment is far worse.
The "problem" is that the evidence of rape is usually he-said/she-said and there is no proof that a crime was committed.

Fired up! Ready to go!
After writing last week?s post about failed baseball promotions, I was left a little disenchanted about being a baseball spectator. This wasn?t helped by game I attended last week, where the free promotion ended up being a camouflage trucker hat that I will certainly never wear again. Luckily, I remembered the joy that are minor league baseball games, where the tickets are cheap, the games hardly matter and the promotions are extravagant. Here?s a look my two-week plan to hit the coolest minor league promotions in America.

Because nothing screams "good christian" like overwhelming evidence of animal cruelty and spreading STD's.

The way the article reads, it seems to imply Vick will be honored because he is under indictment and needs support. I doubt that's the case... but to leave out any reason other than the vague "we will work with anyone who opens their heart and arms to us" quote seems like a reporter trying to make it seem even worse than it is. Are then honoring him as a show of support (pretty stupid) or did he do something for them and they just haven't decided to throw him under the bus yet? I hate it when reporters focus more on what point they want to make than what the facts are. Just put them out there and we'll figure it out ourselves...

At this point, with the media storm surrounding the case and the public backlash against him, I'd be shocked to see Mexico on the field this season. Then again, Kobe did it a few years back, so who knows...
