Please Make the Vick Talk Radio Stop

As I've proclaimed before I listen to a lot of talk radio. I have 2 hours of commute on non school days and 2:45 on days I have class which is filled mostly by talk radio. In addition often times at work I throw on the web feed of espn radio. So I listen to it a lot. And right now I am so damn sick of the Vick talk radio. Everything is so played out, the callers are the same, their points are the same, nothing is different than it was a month ago. Can we please talk about something else.

Next time you hear someone on radio talk to Vick don't listen, I already know what the callers will be. Here's 10 callers you can expect to hear:

1. Puppy lover saying that Vick is disgraceful and how could you possibly do that to animals.

2. Guy from the south or Caribbean calling up and saying that Vick grew up with it and not to kill him cause he doesn't know better.

3. Guy calling up calling the radio host a racist saying that if Vick was a white athlete then they wouldn't be on him.

4. Guy calling up suggesting that we let rapers off the hook but we come down hard on Vick for dogfighting.

5. Guy calling up saying that the way we get veal or slaughter pigs or hunt is just as bad as fighting dogs.

6. Hunter calling up saying that the last caller was a moron and that he hunts to control the animal population and mentions the fact that their are deer run over all over highways cause there are too many of them.

7. Guy calling up saying that the hunter is liar and that he hunts cause he likes it and not to control the animal population.

8. Guy calling up saying that Vick is a liar as well and that he should have kept lying to give us the appearance that he was telling the truth.

9. Guy calling up saying that his friends are scumbags for throwing Vick under the bus.

10. Guy calling up saying that Vick is a prime example of how pro athletes hang out with too many thug friends and how it brings the athlete down.

There are more callers that you already have heard from, but the point remains. Lets get some other topics to talk about, this one is completely played out.

Great post! I had this conversation because I hunt ducks, geese, and pheasants.

When I go duck hunting, its because I've been practicing for years, purchased equipment, have invested time into training the dog, gotten up at 4 AM on Saturday, setup decoys, and had the skill to take down a bird on the wing with a shotgun at 40 yards. Then I take the duck home, clean it, and enjoy a fine meal.

People compare this to breeding dogs based on aggressiveness, size, beating them while they grew up, placing them in a ring where they fight for their lives, then drowning or electrocuting the loser to death?

Hey Stephon Marbury thinks that deer hunting is just as bad so its probably a valid point.

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
