On the topic of the NFL.

So what is wrong with the NFL these days? We seem to have gotten passed the Ray Lewis and Rae Carruth murder trials. We are over and done with Mark Chumra and his, so called, teenage lover. However, these stories were just about sexual misdeeds and murder, what gets me about the NFL lately is all the robbery, drug sales and gambling that has been in the news over the last three years. Now, Micheal Vick is up on charges that he was a centerpiece in a nation wide dog fighting ring for the purpose of gambling. Let me say this, Vick makes a lot of money, he makes so much money in fact, that if he stopped playing football and decided to live on simple meager means for the rest of his life, he could buy several small Caribbean islands, put mansions on them and still have food and women flown to him daily from exotic ports of call and he would not run out of cash. It seems that this is not enough for many of our newer pro athletes, they crave more money, more power and they do ridiculously stupid things to get it. Last year there were several NFL related drug deal arrests and a few robberies. I am not a rich man and I would probably do something illegal rather than face total destitution and homelessness, as I would expect many of us would. Now put me in a multi-million dollar situation a large home, an endless supply of cashito and a big pool full of petite bitches (you knew I would go there) and I will be as contented as a cow. Happy to just wile away my days in the sun, drinking island drinks of all sorts and lazily dreaming about my Filipino cabana girls. No crimes committed, no jail time warranted just a good day with my friends Rum, Pineapple and Carcinogenic Melinoma. The idea that Pro athletes need more than their talent can bring them is just modern day stupidity. Now if Vick is actually a part of the ring of dog fighters, well I say chuck him in a kennel with his dogs and see how long he can fight them off, I will even take bets on that one. Of course there is always some good old idiocy in the NFL and I saw a good one from former Minnesota Viking and now former Miami Dolphin, Dante Culpepper. He had been trying, to no avail to be let loose from his Dolphins contract after they benched him in favor of Former Kansas City QB Trent Green. Culpepper was released from his contract, afterwards he spoke to the press. This is a quote. " As I was going through this process I heard about a qoute by Gandhi that best expresses my thoughts about this victory: 'First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win'," Nice use of a quote there Dante, with a couple of exceptions. Gandhi was the leader of the Indian Independence Movement and touted the resistance of tyranny through civil disobedience, where you are a injury prone, over paid quarterback that has lost his ability to scramble from the pocket and is not much of a threat without at least one talented deep receiver. Gandhi was using his standing and power to front the Quit India Movement, to release India from the grasp of the British empire, You just don't want to be benched. You know, I wouldn't mind sitting on my ass, watching football and still making mad, fat greenbacks in the process. I definitely wouldn't consider it tyranny at any rate or equate it thusly. It just goes to prove that a you gotta be careful when quoting. Knowledge can be easily tainted when placed in the hands of the poorly educated.
