Good grief ya'll need to separate things here. No one is defending the dog-fighting. It's a disgusting exploitation. Racing greyhounds doesn't seem so vicious. In my mind, training dogs to kill, and training them to race are completely different things. I think it's the aftermath that is the argument. In greyhound racing, the dogs are disposed of because they are deemed worthless by investors. This is completely disregarding whether they'd make good pets or not, because their behavior doesn't matter. They can't win races, thus they are killed. What Vick did is dispose of dogs that were bred to kill. Quite honestly, these dogs were not salvageable. I sure as hell wouldn't want to adopt something that was trained to rip into another one's neck. Wouldn't we agree those dogs that lost the fights would have been euthanized anyways? There may be extremely rare cases of something to the contrary, but I think my point still stands. So what is it about Vick burying the dogs that wouldn't have been done by somebody else? The greyhound dogs, IMO, were unjustly disposed of. What I gathered from the PETA incident I linked to is that the counties agreed to give PETA an opportunity to provide the dogs with a home. A number of the animals in that story should have been evaluated by professionals to determine if they would have been good pets. If otherwise, PETA had the go to euthanize them. The counties cut off the agreement because PETA went ahead and put them to sleep before determining anything. Over the course of a month, 80 animals were dumped dead in the trash before given an opportunity to be found a home or evaluated. Another case of either a horrible miscommunication, or disposing of animals that were merely an inconvenience to someone. just my two cents. carry on.

switched.

sigh. and where was all this press to see off PETA employees for euthenasia malpractice (I can't think of a better term)? Vick needs to get what he deserves as determined by law, and not used by PETA as some sick poster child.

It took you 2.5 years to come up with that? I guess he threw guacamole on your car.

weird

You want to shut those people up? Win. period.

He's doing great!

Cobbs is doing fantastic! A great run in the middle, shaking off would-be'ers to get the 1st. Then a 9 yard run on first down. He also ran in untouched for a TD!

When does he find out?

A mascot? The McDonalds Hamburgler does that already.

it wouldn't surprise me to hear that 75% of the board's membership never ventures outside the football forum. Move the thread now.

I'm looking for a job. seriously. what is it?

Vito did that on purpose.

well, we're gonna need a donor. Can we get them to a practice? Nothing wrong with showing them our product. We'll probably need a couple mil just to do a feasibility study. crazy.

I hear someone whispering utah state utah state

I think he's just wrapping everything up. Like Christmas on September 1st!

With all due respect to Brett, he didn't really answer any questions about Gilmore. Everyone is dying to know when he'll be back/why he's gone. Telling us that he was last seen on Tuesday in street clothes is just a big tease. shame on you Mr. Vito. shame.

verb'd

Because parents might want to know where to get a hold of their kids? Because the fans now know when to expect updates from Brett/DRC? Because they want the media to know when they can come out and check with the team/coaches for possible publications? because... ...i'm out. just my 3 cents.

Quite possibly the most awesome name I'll see this year.

Thanks. I'll never watch a placed kick in progress without laughing again. And the next time the snap is mishandled, I'll yell LUCY as the holder rolls out looking to escape.

Thanks for the great news MGD. Keep us informed whenever you can.

Personally I think two-positives cancel each other out, thus WW gets the nod. But that's just the physicist in me.

Mid-major top 25? Lame... Like saying, "Good for you, except you're not really top-25. We have this group over there that is ELITE and you're not a part of it." sound familiar?
