Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Next Stop: Story Land

Here's something that won't be in the Falcons' press guide: Michael Vick allegedly hosts dog and cockfights at his home. This one comes to me courtesy of Deadspin, and the gods of football blogging who are intent on punishing me for defending Vick the other day.

This doesn't mean that Vick was definitely hosting these intentionally, as he only owns the property. But the connection is pretty strong, and if this were true, you'd have to assume he knew about it. For those of you keeping score at home, this is like the hojillionth time Vick has done something dumb this year. This would be arguably the dumbest of them all, and the animal lover in me is increasingly pissed off and wonders if Babineaux and Vick like to hang out together. This has to be doing wonders for Blank's man-crush on Vick, too, as the urge to have a squeaky-clean reputation for the team keeps running up against his "star" QB's transgressions.

This leaves me wondering what the hell they're going to do if Vick keeps this up and is mediocre on the field next year. My guess is the same thing they've always done: nothing. So let's hope he's not responsible for this one in any way.

And yes, this actually is a story.

He gets a pass on the double deuce, but this?
I must admit, I'm amazingly disgusted about this.  I've just read the article on SI.com about this, and if true, Blank has to get rid of him.  I refuse to see him continue to pay this man if he's truly running something this heinous purposely.

You and me both
I just hope it's not true, because I hate to think that ill about anybody. But it is disgusting and if it is true, he should be severely punished for a change.

I'm a vick apologist, i love that he's a falcon, i'm acknowledging my favorite team bias - if vick were on another team id probably make fun of his lack of accuracy. i swear up and down that if he had enough time to throw and a legit #1 wr he'd complete at least 58% of his passes and throw for 3k yds.  In short, I have a real hard time being negative about him, BUT, if this story is true, and mike is involved, then... well shit.  

I don't know what the hell he's thinking, he's being a freaking moron, and hosting dog fights has gotta be the most heartless indecent degenerate thing I can think of, and i'm disgusted.  That being said, I really, really hope he's cleared, and pulls his head out of his fucking ass.

Amen
Preaching to the choir, here.

If this man...
...is still playing in the NFL next season, I'm going to be pissed.  He's nothing but a thug.  Cut him loose!
