Alright, for you 6 fans, i am going to do a blog blitz this week covering all of the major North American sports and their major issue going on this week. Yes, this does include hockey, and you say "What scandal/situation does hockey have?", you will find out later this week. And the rest of you say "Major Sport?" and i did say North American and i think that does include our neighbor Mexico in which hockey is huge.
We are going to start with the Michael Vick situation, and situation may be putting it a little bit too loosely. I would recap the story for you, but if you don't know it by now, you probably have stumbled upon the wrong blog and were probably looking for the blog supporting former Detroit Tiger Robert Fick.
So today, everyone seems to want to distant themselves from Mr Vick, lets take a look at all of the people/groups trying to distance themselves from Vick since the news came out:
NFL: Commissioner Roger Goodall issued a statement today informing Michael Vick not to show up at camp on Thursday. Way to lay down the law Commish. Since he is due in court that day in Virginia, there was a really good chance he wasn't going to show up in Georgia anyways. My guess is on Thursday he will say not to show up this week or next at all and then send Mikey a text that says "Seriously dude, the weather here is really bad, you don't want to come anywhere near here. Also don't turn on your TV, as you might attract one of the lightning bolts to your home." (not going to comment on Vick's Response)
Atlanta Falcons: Owner Arthur Blank had a press conference today and said "Well we would have suspended him and we were ready to, but the commish stepped in and told him not to show up to training camp." He added, "This allowed us to focus our time trying to find a spot in the Home Depot network for Joey Harrington that doesn't include the words Quarter or Back. We are hoping he accepts a position as a overnight stock boy in our Dubuque, Iowa store"
Nike: Well, not exactly. They removed the items from their website for a bit today, but everything else remained in the stores. Tomorrow i am sure a memo goes out to all stores that carry their products that says "All Salespeople: Please remove the V from all Vick Jerseys and try to sell the jersey's to these stupid kids and say that some Ick guy was drafted by Pittsburgh and he is the next big thing" Cause you know, Nike is pretty much evil and all.
Vick's Mom: She has told her son not to report to Thanksgiving. Marcus is going to carve the turkey this year. Let's just assume a double homicide is involved by willingly giving Marcus a knife, and I think that is a fair assumption. Would his crime be worse than Ookie's? (you didn't think this site would make you think did you?, provide answers in the comment section)
Ron Mexico: It is reported his alias with herpes has severed his ties with Vick, except for the herpes of course which they both still share.
Pacman Jones: He was reached early this morning at the Kitty Kat Club in Nome, Alaska and had this to say. "Let's try and see Goodall find me here, these Eskimo chicks is hot! And they only have spears, ha, they don't know what they are in for" When informed we didn't ask him about him and instead about Vick he claimed "Oh sorry man, That is some sick s**t, i don't condone...wait...you say it is some bitc*es fighting for money, give me some of that, i am in, let me catch the next canoe out of here."
Todd McClure: The Falcon Center had this to say "Lets just say i was a little relieved when i heard he wouldn't be coming to camp after the allegations. Ya know, lets say i gave up a sack on the previous play. I would probably be sweating coming out of the huddle not knowing what he was going to do to me once i bent over as i was not prepared to fight. I would be freaking out man. Now all i have to worry about is recovering Joey's botched snaps."
So this is the first run of people who are trying to distant themselves from Vick. This is also the first installment of the week of the Blog Blitz. There will be 2 tomorrow and a few more later in the week.
