there haven’t been sappy movies or tv shows made about chickens.

chicken little says know your history…and that the sky is falling

Not that’s it’s surprising, but you’ve just provided as classic a textbook strawman argument as I’ve ever seen.

You can call it whatever, but all of this consternation over a bunch of dogs is annoying. If Vick was fighting chickens, there wouldn’t be nearly the amount of outrage or assignment of evil to him. I guess, lucky for cock fighters, there haven’t been sappy movies or tv shows made about chickens.

Yet I guarantee you there are some crazed dog lovers who feel more sympathy for those dogs being killed than the dude layed up in the hospital. Fuck a dog, and fuck people who place more love for dogs than people.

i bet if you found the owner of the dogs you’d find it was a place that fostered violent behavior, too. and it’s not like vick brutalized his dogs to save someone else’s life.

Disliking Vick I can understand

I get this and do really like Vick.

Wishing harm upon him or somehow arguing that he deserves to be punished for the rest of his life I don’t.

I do not wish him harm and don’t think others should, but your past actions should follow you. He has paid his debt, so I am not saying he should get more prison time, but that doesn’t mean people should forget what he did. If that causes him to experience extra stress, then to bad. Reprehensible actions have consequences beyond legal punishment.

When Malkin is motivated

Which happens less than you think. He is a Russian afterall.

I think people are underestimating our defense. Getting rid of Gonchar, adding Paul Martin and Michalek, and the greatly improved Letang has kept this team afloat the past month. Plus MAF is having a career year, minus October.

/oh and the #1 penalty kill
//we will lose in the 2nd round

The first sentence is the key. I’ll grant him a bit of a pass this year as he was battling injuries even before the year-ending tear. But he’s was playing much easier minutes than Crosby was and I expect more for an $8.7M cap hit.

I think you’re overestimating what Malkin brought to the table.

When Bylsma puts Malkin and Crosby out at the same time (as he did on occasion), it’s almost not fair.

When Malkin is motivated, he’s an absolute terror (and as a Flyers season ticket holder, I’ve seen it too many times up close). I don’t get the impression that he likes the physical part of the game. Not like Crosby, who seems to raise his level when he gets knocked about (recent concussion issues, notwithstanding).

As a Vick hater, I agree with his. I’d almost hate him more if he went on this big PR tour trying to create this new image. It’s not going to change anyone’s minds at this point and will just look phony.

Guy in my hometown was walking home from the store when he was attacked by 3 Rotts. One went for his leg, while two went for his throat. As he tried to run to his building door step, they all grabbed him by the leg and pulled him back towards the street. These same dogs killed someone’s pet a month earlier. This guy is still in the hospital where they barely saved his leg. They caught the dogs and put their asses to sleep. Yet I guarantee you there are some crazed dog lovers who feel more sympathy for those dogs being killed than the dude layed up in the hospital. Fuck a dog, and fuck people who place more love for dogs than people.

That was evident when he said he would reconsider signing with Nuggets if he got that 3/65 contract.

Probably best thing for Knicks.

TBL are a good story, but I think they get exposed in the playoffs the same way the Caps have.

I watched a good portion of the ‘Ning-Red Wing game last night (free NHL center ice preview!).

TB did not play with any kind of intensity at all and I saw them play, and look like world beaters just a couple of nights ago against the Flyers.

If Melo goes to the Nets for that deal he isn’t serious about winning.

Yup.

He’d essentially playing with the same roster(maybe worse?)and no first round picks for four years. WTF

that’s how it is with most people convicted of felonies.

It’s a little more than that with Vick. It was a felony, in the legal sense, but in the court of public opinion, it’s more than that.

He offended, quite possibly, the most emotional, outspoken demographic ever: Hardcore dog owners.

I think you’re overestimating what Malkin brought to the table.

Actually, I’m keeping an eye on Washington. I’m hoping they stay half asleep. And Tampa looks frisky.

I refuse to buy into Washington until they prove me wrong, they have essentially the same players from the last 2 years. TBL are a good story, but I think they get exposed in the playoffs the same way the Caps have.

ouch 1:50 mark

B’s and Flyers have to be the favorites in the East*.

*assuming Crosby isn’t himself when/if he returns this year

Even if Crosby comes back, they won’t have Malkin and I think they are thin (anorexic actually) at wing.

Actually, I’m keeping an eye on Washington. I’m hoping they stay half asleep. And Tampa looks frisky.

But I thought you didn’t like bad people?

it’s a vicious cycle
