Gee, I Never Thought of It THAT Way...

From the comments section of Jason Whitlock's webpage, posted in response to this article about Michael Vick's indictment (click for a better view):


Oh, wonderful internet! You are an ever-gushing fountain of comedic manna.

I like Whitlock; 2nd favorite sports read after Simmons. Still, this column is a bit off the mark in laying Vick's behavior squarely on the shoulders of hip-hop. True, rappers like pit bulls, but this is more a function of backwater culture from down South as Clinton Portis so elegantly elucidated. Ghetto-@$$ people like to fight animals: cocks, dogs, snapping turtles...you name it. Vicks behavior comes from growing up in the rural South, not from listening to Jay-Z. But, yeah anyway, those comments are priceless.
