Three days without a blog entry…ya gotta love it. Coup’s road-tripping it up while I’m packing everything up to go back to school. Plus its not like the sports world is on fire. Vick just got absolutely screwed by his friends. When this first went down I thought Vick was ok as long as his people took the fall. They aren’t taking the fall for him. Vick could be the black person who doesn’t get away. At the end of the day I don’t see Michael Vick as a bad guy or a truly sick individual. There are worst people in the world; pedophiles, sexual assaulters, murderes..plenty of sick bastards on Earth. I just see Vick as being an idiot for even letting something like that exist in his world. I am still of the theory that his boys just used his money and place and Vick let it happen…but its still dumb. I was having a treadmill conversation (usually always awkward) about it yesterday, and the guy I was talking to actually gave some itneresting insight on the matter. Think about this…MJ never let his 0ff-court activities and issues ever mess with his career. If you ask the average joe they won’t know about the gambling and all that stuff. But the people who have heard about, the casual fan, the “everyday American” can sit there and go ‘Well I’ve gambled before, that’s not that bad.’ You could even forgive a guy like Charles Barkley for throwing a guy through a window at a bar “I’ve wanted to kick someone’s ass before, it happens.” But when dogfighting is the crime, even though there are more vicious criminals on the earth…it loses its humane perspective. There simply is no one out there that can relate to it and that will be his biggest downfall.
I do think he’ll be back at some point though. Mark my words.
NBA news…there ain’t much. Donaghy surrendered, Orlando is half-retarded as they look at Adonal Foyle and Reggie Evans to fill their low-post void. Really? Team USA is all over getting ready to kill everyone in 10 days.
Madden just came out, so its officially football season. Predictions coming shortly. Uh…saw Rush Hour 3 last night. Chris Tucker was funny as usual which really makes me wonder how and why he just disappeared during the prime of his career. But then again when all you have to do is make Rush Hour’s and get paid oodles of money, I would have no motivation to do anything. The story was simple to the point where the movie just kind of ended. The bad guys died. Game over. There weren’t any real twists and turns or any of that. Fun if you like laughing and don’t need a plot. Now here was a shockingly good movie; I Know Who Killed Me, the latest Lindsay Lohan movie. It’s creepy, it’s scary and it will make you say ‘What the bleep is going on here’ at least 21 times. You’ll take at least 121 guesses with your friend during the movie. Lohan does a good job at being a stripper who doesn’t ever take her clothes off, but does make up for it with one of the better sex scenes in recent history. It reminded me of when I was 8 and I saw Pamela Anderson do one..I wonder how many little boys will be changed by this one if they ever see it.
And yes I just spent a paragraph talking about movies….where is Ace of Base to tell me its a cruel summer when I need them?
