Michael Vick Bails On Oprah

As a Philadelphia Eagles fan,

This city was as shocked as anyone else when his signing was announced.

It’s been pretty difficult for a lot of us accepting him (other than the home boys), no matter how good his season was this last year. Who knows what he actually regrets, but I do believe he gets nailed pretty hard on it compared to Rapistberger.

I mean, watching the fucking pregame during the Superbowl, all the interviewers tip-toed around the multiple rape charges and phrased it as “a difficult year”, whereas with Vick, it’s the first thing that comes up, right off the bat, “yada yada you spent 2 years in jail for killing dogs yada yada”.

Vick isn’t doing Oprah because there was a bet made between Oprah and Piers Morgan (that Brit from CNN) about who would first get him to interview, and he might possibly violate his parole somehow over it.

I’m not going to say much about SW’s opinion in this matter. But both crimes are terrible and should be punished accordingly. Perhaps it seems worse to do these things to animals because we are their wardens. It’s our responsibility to treat them with dignity and respect regardless if they can return it. That aside, I’m more amazed at how civilized this discussion has been. Way more so than those assholes over at Geekologie. They all want to be Daniel Tosh over there so they make racist jokes without the clever satire.

Fish, I’ve gotta disagree with you on this one. While I also think it’s disgusting and unacceptable that NFLers get away with what seems like constant violence, and sexual harassment and/or assualt, I think Michael Vick is just as bad.
Animals are extremely vulnerable. Even an abused child will one day be able to speak for itself, an animal never will, they are totally at our mercy. To take advantage of that is-to me anyways-as sickening and disturbing as taking advantage of another human being. The NFL needs to do a serious clean up, and Vick should go along with Sanchez, Roethlisberger and the rest of them.

Fish, thanks for the article. I am glad that people feel so strongly about the subject no matter what side they are on! It’s on our minds and look at the response here, makes me feel good! I hate Evil Murderous Vick!

Spoken like a typical Steelers fan with AD/HD.

Sorry Fish, but your logic is totally fucked. Animals aren’t like people, they don’t deserve it. I think someone who says Vick is ok and forgiven or who cares what people do to animals is sick. I don’t think you deserve to live. People are fucking evil. Who cares about some gold digging whore that is married to Charlie Sheen. Let them all kill each other and I don’t want to read about it or hear about it. Michael Vick doesn’t even deserve to be alive. These dogs didn’t decide, hey Michal Vick is rich and famous lets go see if we can get a job working with him. So what, whatever Rapistberger or whoever this nobody clown I never really heard of except from an Eminem lyric and this stupid site, and wow he is a football player. Maybe the stupid whore should have known that when you get with a NFL player that is what you get.

So basically ya, for the stupid people you are talking about IT IS THEIR OWN FUCKING FAULT!!!
The dogs? They didn’t do a fucking thing except they were born.

Now when you take the blind victim of a murder or something like the halocaust…then you have a whole bunch of innocent victims. Some whore who

“but being a Super Bowl quarterback with a pattern of “allgedly” raping women because you can pay them to go away and/or discredit them seems to be the more pressing and poignant issue in my book.”

Well ya, throw these woman in a dumpster they don’t even deserve to be alive. So drug addicts and prostitutes and unproductive people like Lohan, that should be thrown in a furnace, are better than some poor dogs that don’t know any better? As people we have a responsability to take care of animals like dogs. I don’t think that includes caring about drug addict prostitutes!

The guy had a dog fighting ring!!! I don’t even see how he isn’t in jail for the rest of his life! Who cares about Rapistburger someone should put a bullet in his head and throw him in a shallow grave…and he wouldn’t be missed. You have it so wrong! How can people be so naive and stupid, guess you never learned right and wrong Fish. I am very dissapointed.

Let it go people – Vick served his time, and he has done nothing since being released from prison other than work his ass off to stay on the straight and narrow – unless you want every peson who ever makes a mistake in their lives shot dead on the spot (and if you do want that, make sure you’re perfect and never make any mistakes yourself), then you have to let people move on from their mistakes and live their lives. Save the bitching for people like lohan that keep making the same dumb mistakes over & over, not ever learning a damn thing and with no intention of ever changing their ways. The breed ‘Pit Bull’ exists only because they are bred for one purpose only – for fighting each other for ‘sport’. They’re not retrievers, not for hunting, they’re for fighting each other. Not saying that’s ok, just that dog fighting has been going on in many places in the world for a very long time, and is considered normal and acceptable by huge segments of the population, so don’t make it out that Vick invented this or did anything wildly out of the norm in terms of what the people he grew up around considered acceptable. What about cock fighting? That goes on all over the South, and lots of places in the Northern states. Roosters aren’t deserving of humane treatment? Save the cocks!

Vick audibled nicely on Oprah & her blitz package.

Ask Ludacris & Ice Cube.

Whether murdering dogs is a lesser crime than a “rapist” (I’ve been googling Ben the rapist with no results) somehow Vick will do fine, as long as he doesn’t have an interview with Pier Morgan.

Last! Well said Pescado! Ben Roethlisbooger is a Meathead.

Because it always starts with animals. Next he would have harmed a person. And he is not sorry, he’s only sorry he got caught.

There is a difference between allegedly doing something, and actually doing it. I don’t care if Vick did his time in jail. He is still disgusting, and I think he should have spent much more time in jail. Injuring/killing animals for fun usually leads to killing humans for fun, so it’s not like Vick is much better than any of the other douchebag NFL players.

I’m a pretty avid animal lover (especially dogs) and even I got really annoyed at all the baying the massive did out there over this guy. After a certain point, it makes me wonder…why are you really that angry?

And even though I believe all life is precious, I, like the editor, believe that the shit Big Ben did and got away with far outweighs what Vick did.

And plus (because I can’t forget to put some snark in it) Pit Bulls are dull dogs. Their owners are usually pretty unimaginative too. I’d take a typical lap dog over them any day. Hell, Lhasas are complete assholes but they have way more personality than those little monsters. ;)

Best Post you have ever written.
Stop it

“put on a Viking helmet”? I’m pretty sure a Cowboy helmet would be more effective.

It saddens me that so many of you are so offended by the idea that a woman should have more rights than a dog.
Vick has shown himself to be a man who gets off on violence suffering and death, not cool.
Ben sure seems to be a rapist (which also requires that he gets off on domination over and dehumanization of women), not cool.
Mark Sanchez got away with his first rape the summer before he got to USC (look it up!) and as a former USC student (the same years as him) I can personally attest to his misogynistic, aggressive, ‘no means yes’ behavior. Whether you believe me or not doesn’t change the fact that Sanchez is a piece of shit who has a history of sexually abusing women and who I’m sure will continue it.

Hey Vick – Nice pick you threw against The Packers to lose! Haha – he sucks balls – and all I have seen of him shows he is not repentent about what he did to those dogs – the fighters and the bait dogs. Really wish he could suffer like his dogs did.

Before getting up on your soapbox go to the smoking gun website and read the court files regarding Bad Newz Kennels and the crimes Vic is accused of.

In all sincerity, I appreciate that a guy can drool over celebrities in bikinis in one post and stick up for women’s rights in another.

Hey, I have really tried to get over this, let it go and totally forgive and think that maybe Vick has turned over a new leaf. The sad thing is that if they had a pay for view where if Vick lost a football game and out came a bunch of Men dressed as dogs who did exactly to him what he did to the dogs, I would so get cable just to make sure I could see the pay for view……Hell I’d throw a party. Is this wrong of me to think this way?

Fish-
The reason you picked on Rapist-burger more that Vick is very clear even though you try to convince us otherwise.

You are racist.

It’s that simple and I really think that you need to admit it. thank you.

Read the court docs if you want to see firsthand what a piece of shit Vick is. How many dogfights he personally attended. Ever seen video of a pitbull fight? See how long you can watch before you have to turn away. Here’s the court docs…

What the fuck man?

Did you write this while sucking Vick’s dick as Obama was taking you from behind????

Do you know how Vick killed the dogs? There were a lot of ways. He probably picked his method-of-the-day out of a hat, but one that stood out to me was throwing the dog’s head down to the ground. I don’t see how that compares to threatening words…

And it’s not just the dog-fighting and killing. He’s just an amoral monster (I initially wrote “human being” but had to correct myself) who has blood on his hands.

Good points Fish.
Also, nicely done up at the top jojo.

:P

Well, golly gosh, I sure am surprised that Michael Vick bailed on opera, since we all know what a classy guy he is….

I’m no fan of Vick, or Oprah for that matter, but I would have loved to see him try and tell her “It’s a cultural thing, man.”

if u choose not to be a fan of vick thats ur prerogative. but people that continue to try to make him sound like the scum of the earth are fuckin ridiculous! the man did his time so just move the fuck on. the reason i call u people hypocrites is cuz out of the millions of people out there who hate vick becuz of what he did to cute cuddly dogs maybe five percent of you would give a shit if he were cock fighting, but just becuz they are dogs michael vick is the second coming of satan. ridiculous…

I understand your line of thinking but you have to understand how far beyond dog fighing he went. He got a kick out of hanging them from trees and watching die a slow painful death. Those were statements made by his cousins. He threw his kid’s dogs in the ring. He pulled the teeth out of female dogs so they couldn’t fight back on the rape stand. The guy is a psychopath and took it to places dog fighters don’t go. Also its a matter of perspective – a lot of people think Big Ben served his time missing out on 4 games because he was never convicted. And what about Ray Lewis? They are all pieces of shit when comes down to it.

You are wrong he electrocuted, fought, hung and drowned dogs himself. Go back and read the court docs its all there with statements from his partners.

When I read the unintelligent and flippant remarks made by this site’s owner (“getting our panties in a bunch over some dogs that died almost half a decade ago”) it made me not want to visit this website anymore. I used to like it quite a bit but there are other celebrity gossip sites out there that are better than The Superficial, in more ways than one. More intelligent ones, and funnier as well. You know, it is possible to be upset at the same time with people who abuse animals and people who abuse people. One can do both, you know,

Hopefully this piece of garbage gets his karma.

Thx. I don’t get these guys. U have the hottest chicks right at the tip of ur dick but u screw underage girls. THats messed up.

Gayle needs some new shoes.

Just wondering how much longer it’s going to take for you to get tired of this inane behavior so we can go back to snarking on shitty pseudo-celebrities.

my accomplishments?! it’s a curse!!whatever i do i just can’t escape those “leave a comment” !! there’s sth just so enthralling abt them..have u ever been with a virgin? no, me neither, so maybe that’s why i got obsessed with ‘em!

Woohoo!! Been waiting forEVER to use these ice skates!

So you acknowledge that the meat industry is cruel, and no doubt the majority of the animals that are raised for meat are subjected to prolonged suffering and intentional cruelty. while it may be for the purpose of efficiency and profit rather than for entertainment doesn’t change the fact that it happens. So how is there NOTHING hypocritical about attacking Vick for abuses (that may be worse than what occurs at the average slaughterhouse but can certainly be found within the meat industry) while contributing to the meat industry? I could list some horrific abuses that take place in the meat industry as you did with dogfighting but we all know they exist.

And how is this at all equivalent to saying a prostitute cannot get raped?

You sir are an idiot. Have you ever even been near a farm or do you just hang out in your apartment in the big ol’ city and read endless drivel from PETA?
Having lived and worked on farms for much of my youth I can categorically tell you that your generalized idea about the treatment of animals raised for food is absurd.
Perhaps, you should think about where your veggies come from, how they are cut from their “parent” with sharp knives leaving the “parent” bleeding and dying or savagely ripped from the ground by their “hair” , their appendages torn and left fragmented in the ground, only to be dumped into a bin with hundreds of their own kind and shipped away to washed, peeled,steamed and cut to pieces………yeah, being a vegetarian is a whole lot less violent than eating meat…unless you believe that everything has a spirit.
Get a life and a clue about the reality of the world, allowing an animal to be savagely torn apart in the name of sport is vastly more inhuman than killing an animal quickly and efficiently with a single shot to the head, there is NO comparison and Michael Vick is a gigantic douche for having been a part of it!

@ Randy Watson of Sexual chocolate

LOL at your name. The scene in the movie is classic. That boy is good!!

I’m not making a judgement on whether it is right or wrong to eat meat. I was just pointing out the hypocrisy of people who throw a hissyfit when anything happens to a dog or cat because they are “cute” animals. Obviously, for the most part, no one wants to see animals being treated cruelly, but it seems like they can live with it as long as it is within the confines of a factory farm, they get to benefit from it, and there are no cute animals involved. So I just think is hypocritical to put a human in jail for 2 years when it goes on everyday in an industry that most of us support. As a society we have clearly decided that human rights trump animal rights and we have let the meat industry dictate what the acceptable level of treatment for animals is. When similar abuses are found at a factory farm the consequence is a slap on the wrist and maybe someone gets fired. So I just think when it involves putting people in jail and taking their freedom for years, we need to have some consistency.

As far as the ass-clownish ‘cruelty to vegetables’ comments, thanks for that new perspective. I am going to go throw out all my veggies except for the cucumber that I use to pleasure my girlfriend (I know its cruel to the cuc but its just to much fun to watch her pickle it).

@ Randy Watson, It’s called only buying quality humanely raised and slaughtered meat. Maybe you shop at Aldi’s and eat at McDonalds. Some people actually make this a priority.

@OOZ Thank you for pointing that out. Vick didn’t just kill the dogs, he brutally tortured them when they underperformed. He beat them, strangled them, drowned, electrocuted, shot and all around brutalized them. He took pleasure in it. He’s a sick fuck. Yes, he served time, it was well deserved. He’s a cruel psycho. Just because they were “only” dogs, doesn’t mean his actions aren’t a window into the soul of a disturbed human being. He shouldn’t have been rewarded upon release with an amazing football career and millions of dollars. He claimed he didn’t know what he was doing was wrong. If that is true, that’s even more disturbing. Who doesn’t know hanging dogs and beating them like a pinata is wrong?? That being said, Roethlisberger is a total piece of shit to, just in a different way.

if u choose not to be a fan of vick thats ur prerogative. but people that continue to try to make him sound like the scum of the earth are fuckin ridiculous! the man did his time so just move the fuck on. the reason i call u people hypocrites is cuz out of the millions of people out there who hate vick becuz of what he did to cute cuddly dogs maybe five percent of you would give a shit if he were cock fighting, but just becuz they are dogs michael vick is the second coming of satan. ridiculous…

The person Donte Stallworth hit with is car had stepped right out in front of his car, jaywalking – they would have been killed regardless of whether Stallworth was drunk as sitting bull or sober as the pope, that’s why he didn’t get a much harsher sentence for that. Not condoning drunk driving, but just be aware it’s not like Stallworth was driving over sidewalks bouncing pedestrians off his hood.

he ran him over on a crosswalk. he got off cos he has shitloads of money

There are those that would tell you that vegetables can feel. So now what are we supposed to eat? Eating cows for meat and watching dogs fight for entertainment are two entirely different things.

Now, I gotta UFC match to watch.

Nicely put babooda.

Randy, problems do NOT equal cruel treatment. Your ability to comprehend words formed into arguments and ideas is obviously limited.

Now just go back to noshing your inhumanely harvested, pesticide riddled veggies and stop trying to argue with the adults.

Have any of you apologists ever bothered to read into this? He tortured dogs. Drowning, electrocuting, and hanging. Do you know how long it takes to hang a dog? How many minutes it flails around while sick fucks like ron mexico here look on and laugh maniacally? And haven’t you ever heard that’s how serial murderers get their start as kids (animal cruelty of many forms; not necessarily dog fighting)? They derive pleasure from it.
And so does this piece of shit. Who is right back in the nfl, who QBed during more nationally televised games this season than any other QB as far as I can tell, and now stands to make 20 mil a year. So, he cashes in, the nfl cashes in, thousands of dunderheads in philly are wearing 7 jerseys (and many here in atl still do!)…
…and the band played on…

@Cranberry Girl
What problems were you referring to? The problem that margins are being narrowed by increased commodity prices?

And to be clear, you don’t think that any animals are subjected to cruelty in the meat industry?

@Jennyjen
Thank you for letting us know about your exclusively socially conscience meat purchases, must be hard since so many meat companies claim they are inhumane, right?

@Badooba
glad you grew up giving all your livestock handjobs with eye contact

Another city dwelling buffoon comes to the fore. Bet you have never spent the day climbing halfway to heaven tracking a deer or pushed through endless miles of thickets in search of an illusive elk only to miss the one shot you had all day because the wind carried your scent to the animal in question. In fact the closest you have probably ever been to the woods in your local park.
Placing two animals in an enclosure and watching them fight to the death is in no way shape or form the same as hunting a free roaming animal.

Thank you fish. This is so refreshing. Very well said.

Umm, Ken, Vick actually DID do it, he didn’t just pay someone to do it. He helped slam dogs on the concrete until they were dead, he helped hang them, he helped pull out their teeth, and for his amusement the original record notes reports that he threw family pets into the ring for some fun.

Ken: fail.

I am a huge fan of the NFL but wish they would have never let Vick back in. I also think Rapistburger got off way too easy. I don’t give a shit that Vick did time for what he did, he is a piece of shit that killed innocent dogs for pleasure. I wonder if Michael Vick had got caught with child pornography, went to jail “did his time” I wonder how welcomed he would be back into the NFL? By the way did you know that Vick and his bitch posse used to grabbed lost stray dogs off the street and put them in their “pit” to let his fighting dogs practice killing??? so think about that for a minute….all you who have dogs….can you imagine just your regular old dog who got out because of some reason or another and he gets grabbed by these pussy pieces of shit, and are put into a ring and all of a sudden your pet is torn to pieces…..
Then to top if off Obama calls the owner of the Eagles and thanks him for giving Poor michael vick a second chance? Roger Goodall CLAIMED he was going to be tough on players on their bad behavior but he is a joke…..Rapistburger should have been suspended a minimum of one year, Leonard Little (got drunk killed a person in a car wreck) should have been suspended for ever and Michael Vick should never play in the NFL again.
He is the worst kind of human being and should die of a venereal disease.

once u compared DOGS to innocent HUMAN children i immediately had to stop reading ur statement. hey i love my dog, but if it came down to me saving my dogs life or protecting and innocent stranger child ill help the child everytime without hesitation and i think anybody that wouldnt is just as sick if not sicker than vick…
