Throwing Knives: Vick Indicted

by BD, Sports Show on Mute

This here text your reading is my daily "column" (if you wanna call it that) here at Epic Carnival. Where I hit on the top sports stories, athletes, movies and T.V. in this little land of ours. I've developed a few new ideas for this mornings edition. So bare with me as I continuously add, drop and just flat forget things. Also, for those of you looking for links. Anything posted Thursday and beyond can be sent to me at sportsshowonmute(at)gmail(dot)com to be posted as part of the weekend link dump/scoreboard I'll be doing. Without further adieu, here's who and what I'm throwing at...

Top Story: Mike Vick Indicted
Can I really start with anything other than this? Sure I could. But I'd be nothing but the classic "avoidance" my mother is always talking about. So as she says, I'll deal with this one head on. The whole situation to me is, in a word, hilarious. While I don't understand the amusement one would get out of fighting dogs. I could let Vick go if he was only attending the occasional match. Betting a little here, a little there. But funding, operating a kennel, and even killing "weak" dogs makes me want to bitch slap Vick himself. Not only the killing is the problem. But, also the manner in which some of these dogs were allegedly killed. According to USA Today the dogs were put to rest execution style; "hanging, drowning and slamming one dog's body to the ground." WTF is that Mike? You bastard. I hope you go to prison. Where that "freakish athleticism" the WWL is always drooling over isn't going to help you with Nasty Nate and the Squirrel-master. It's where you and your two buddy's belong. You don't deserve that $100 million dollar contract and I'm hoping you can't use your "celebrity" to get off. Like O.J. and M.J. (Jackson, of course) and many more before you.

I can't help but wonder about the name though, Mike. Bad Newz Kennels? Are you serious? Do you think that Z makes you cool? It doesn't. It makes you illiterate. Sorry ass-hole. Just being honest.

Joey Harrington
I want to hire your agent. He's doing one helluva job for you Joey. While your off pounding the piano. And remembering the good 'ole times he's constantly finding you backup gigs that very well could become starting gigs. After your ruined many of our lives here in Detroit. You've ddid the same to many in Miami. You lost your job to Cleo Lemon in Miami. Cleo F'N LEMON! Who the hell is Cleo Lemon? Sounds like Chiquita Banana's mangina to me. Here you are again though Joey. Looking at another starting job. It's unbelievable to me. I mean, shit, how does this happen? Do you carry a bottle of Jergens around in your pocket? If the Falcons don't figure something out you can officially write them off this season. The overrated Culpepper is not the answer.

Jeremy Accardo
How do you balk-in the tying run? Your the damn closer! You realize your getting traded to Florida tomorrow now right?

Ben Sheets
Will miss 4-6 weeks due to a tear in his finger. We're going to find out real quick if Yovani Gallardo is the player many think he is. And if not, I feel really good about Monday.

Today's Chick is Jakki Degg, I have no idea who she is, but she's attractive and that's what counts. Nothing new on the movie or TV front. Except that I've just gotten The Office: Season 2 from blockbuster and will be making my way through as time becomes available. Tomorrow's edition of Throwing Knives will come sometime in the mid to late afternoon. As I'll be busy all morning and probably a little longer. I'm hoping to post sometime in the 3-7 EST window.
