Just in Case You Had Forgotten About….

Michael Vick, I’m going to bring him to the forefront again. Why, because that’s what I do! And besides, with all the attention that the "New England Spygate Scandal" has been given, I figured why not give this idiot some pub. Man, they’re just beating "Spygate" to death aren’t they? Oops, bad choice of words! Although, don’t you feel that you are being drowned by Belechick making like Peeping Tom… Zing, Opps I Did It Again! Another bad choice of words on my part! Nonetheless, this Vick story has done a vanishing act and disappeared like the Notre Dame offense… Well, that is discounting The Humane Society/PETA peeps of course! Always up for speaking for the animals… And when they’re not doing that, they’re doing their best impersonation of garbage pickers. Huh?
Last Friday an auction over on eBay, (of course… And might I add the same site which someone tried to sell Belgium, (yes the country) on there) benefiting The Humane Society of the United States to help end dogfighting and other forms of animal cruelty was single-page, six-point outline of the speech Vick gave at an Aug. 27 news conference in Richmond after pleading guilty in his dogfighting case. Staking claim once again, you can get anything on eBay! Look, I’m all for it…But, well, read some of the auction description:
This sheet of paper was discarded at the podium after Michael Vick's apology on August 28th, 2007 at the Omni Hotel in Richmond. Found by an HSUS employee, it appears to be Vick's own talking points from his first public statement after his guilty plea for crimes related to dogfighting.
By chance, did Bill Belechick happen to be in attendance? This definitely sounds like something he’d do! Digging in the garbage to find a crumbled up slip of notepad paper with the logo of the Omni hotel… With talking points were written on it which reads:
1. Apologize for what I've done.
2. Apologize Commissioner, AB, Petrino, Ashamed, Disappointed.
3. Young Kids I acted immat… (Awesome Virginia Tech one year education)
4. Forgiveness + Understanding
5. Take Full Responsibility For my Actions.
6. We All Make Mistakes. I've made mistakes in judgement
So how much did this puppy, (oops again) end up auctioning off for? Oh, just your mere $10,200 for a wadded up piece of paper that a society employee went dumpster diving in after Vick walked away from the podium at the end of his news conference. I guess it’s like they always say, "One man’s trash is another man’s treasure"… And you that Marc Ecko was nuts for laying down that kind of cheddar for 756. A piece of paper is somehow worth five figures… Hell, got some TV dinner boxes in my garbage. Perhaps I should put them on eBay? Wonder how much I’d get for an old pair of sleep pants with holes in the knee area which I just threw out this morning? Why this right here, this is a perfect example of why the market for shredders have increased over the years! Because of "Dumpster Divers"… Crazy ass people who like to think they’re stray cats tearing through ones garbage!
Yes, this sounds odd… Although when one really thinks about it, not really. Anything appears on eBay! All I can say is at least this is a little higher up on the ole "Moronic Totem Pole" than the Missouri woman paid $7,400 on eBay for 22 Vick football cards that had been chewed up and slobbered on by two Missouri dogs. Other chewed cards and Vick memorabilia have also been offered on the site. And I’ll say it again… You know that Marc Ecko was nuts!
An interesting tidbit worth noting… Scrawled in the corner in similar handwriting and separated by a line is the statement, "Dogs have Suffered." Um, yeah, I guess he ran out of time to mention that! Clearly the camera must’ve been blinking telling him to wrap up his little song and a dance!

Vote in the latest Pick’em poll over on LastRowSports.com which ask " For a Night With Jenn Streger… I Would?" Yes, the all natural Cowgirl herself… Well, easy on the "all natural part"! Although what difference does it really make anyway! Just in case you need mental reinforce to decide how much pain it's worth, why here's some....Enjoy! http://www.jennsterger.net/pictures/jenn-sterger
