mike vick is a pitbull

vick-and-dog.jpg

i’ve kind of taken notice of this striking similarity between mike vick and pitbulls lately. am i going crazy here? i really don’t think so. i was a psychology major in college, so i understand the whole “power of the mind” phenomenon, but i honestly don’t think that my mind is suggesting mike vick looks like a pitbull, due to all the media coverage lately and the association between the two. mike vick clearly resembles a pitbull. at least in this picture he does. you know that strange claim how pet owners start to resemble their pets, or they choose pets that somewhat resemble themselves? if not, i’m not making it up. it’s out there somewhere. i just saw this picture on the ap wire page this morning and thought, damn, am i losing it, or does he look a hell of a lot like a dog in that picture? surely, i can’t be the only person that took notice of this! discuss.

i realize i haven’t posted in a while, but a photographer in my newsroom pointed out this youtube clip of a lancaster barnstormers pitcher trying to intentionally walk two batters from the somerset patriots to load the bases. it’s extremely pitiful that a baseball player is getting paid to perform like this, yet try watching this video and not laughing your ass off in amazement. how many little league pitchers out there can throw four straight pitch-outs without a hitch? yet this guy can’t throw a single one. baseball purists, get a trashcan, you’re about to lose your lunch. sad is all i can say, just sad…

update: pacman pulled over for dwp…driving while pacman

according to espn and pacman’s lawyer:

Worrick Robinson said Deputy David Hadley had “made claims in the past that he was going to pull over Adam Jones the first time he got occasion to. That’s exactly what he had been bragging about around other people in Williamson County,” according to The Tennessean.

According to Williamson County Sheriff Ricky Headley, Headley saw Jones get into the driver’s seat of his orange Lamborghini the night of June 10 and pulled him over because he knew that Jones didn’t have a Tennessee driver’s license. Jones did have a valid driver’s license from Georgia, but was cited for not obtaining a Tennessee license within 30 days of moving to the state.

Headley told the newspaper his department knew Jones didn’t have a license because when they investigated a robbery at his home earlier this year, he only presented a Georgia state ID card.

if this is in fact the case, and i wouldn’t be surprised if it was, that’s just sad. a bored cop looking for free publicity is what this will amount to. the charges/citations will be dropped, yet pacman will still get the usual lip service of “not staying out of trouble.” i bet this cop can do a mean impression of that old incompetent cop on dukes of hazzard, roscoe p. coltrane. probably runnin’ shine for uncle jessie again! totally irrelevant.

old blinky catches up to pacman jones yet again

03-lambo-orange.jpg

“just a picture i dug up of my orange lamborghini, similar to pacman’s? not sure.”

according to a report from espn, pacman jones was pulled over by ‘blinky’ (aka the fuzz) on june 10th and received several traffic violations. it sounds like he was really trying to go low-profile in his orange freakin’ lamborghini. from the espn story:

Jones was pulled over June 10 at 8:30 a.m. in his orange Lamborghini sports car because the tags did not match the car, WKRN-TV in Nashville reported.

Sheriff’s deputies said he had switched the plate from another vehicle he owns. He was cited with a registration violation, as well as a residency violation for having a Georgia license and failure to show proof of insurance.

um, i do understand this is pacman jones we’re talking about, but i would like the opportunity to pose a few questions: who in their right mind drives an orange lamborghini with wrong license plate tags, and no proof of insurance? just call safeauto pac!. apparently pacman spends more time raining dollar bills than he does sitting in front of the tube watching annoying commercials. kudos to him…i guess? driving around in an orange lambo will get you noticed by just about anyone, anywhere, especially the police. combine that with the following two things: the plates on an orange lamborghini do not match and the guy driving it looks a lot like a highly recognizable, highly troublesome, nfl “player” and you have a nice little recipe for a patrolman’s wet dream. i doubt they come any more gift-wrapped than this. if i were a cop, and i saw pacman jones anywhere, i’d follow him around because you know there’s going to be an opportunity for an arrest/questioning in the next fifteen or twenty minutes.
my next question has to be, why would you take the license plate off of one of your other cars and put it on your lambo? i’m certainly not an expert, but i don’t think that’s the way the department of motor vehicles prefers you license and register your automobile. humor me for a second. you’re pacman jones, you’ve got millions of dollars you don’t deserve, and all the time in the world on your hands, because i would suspect you’re not getting prepared for training camp or anything. you’ve got a flashy orange lambo that you’re itching to drive. it’s summer, the girls are out (at 8:30 a.m.?), you just wake and baked and you’re hungry as hell (might not be true). you need to run out and grab some munch. of course you’re taking the lambo and bumpin some “make it rain” by fat joe and lil’ wayne . snt!! (that stands for silly not to in my world). what’s another court date to pacman jones anyway? when his nfl career is completely over (in a year), he’ll have enough courtroom experience to be a friggin’ bailiff. see, pacman isn’t as dumb as you might think. not everyone leaves the nfl and my beloved new york giants to work on the today show like a sally prissy pants. freaking tiki barber, don’t get me started! i applaud you pacman jones, you are truly a renaissance man. i apologize for underestimating you.
