I'm Definitely Not Trolling
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Or I would have put Vick on Rushmore.
The Vick situation does raise some questions about our legal system that are interesting to consider. They have this guy dead to rights. Co-defendants flopped and a boatlaod of evidence. Yet they are offering Vick this plea deal. If not accepted they have additional felonies to bring to a trial if he doesn't accept the deal with a shorter term on the one charge.
The issue is if he is guilty of multiple felonies, and they have the evidence and conspirators to testify why are they offering him a deal and lesser punishment?
If he was a primary figure and financier in the operation and they want to send a signal to others running this rather dispicable business across the country and they have the case, why not throw the book at him?
It must have something to do with money. The cost of a huge trial, and then the possibility regardless of evidence, that one juror could go not guilty then you have to do the whole thing again.
Money, money, money. In America it even dictates justice.

It's Also Informative
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]That Vick's attorneys are split on accepting the plea. I guess the smart ones on his team are the ones that want to reject the deal. He pleads and goes to do his time. And the meter stops running on the cab the attorneys are driving for him.

I Think
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]that the philosophy of plea bargains are simply the prosecutors saying, under their breath, that their experience with jury selection is that of interviewing a prospective pool with a bunch of morons.

The Point On The Famous NFL Off. And Def. Lines
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Is a good one. These guys are legends, granted glorious group nicknames. The primary reasons for celebrated and nostalgic championships despite the attention given to the "skill" players.
Bonds almost becomes a Christ figure, nailed to a cross.

On The Various Names
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Offered to replace Bonds on Rushmore, i.e. Tom Brady, and to the question of icon status.....Go review sports talk radio or sports blogs for the last 5 years. Add up the talk and type about Bonds versus anyone else......100-1 minimum in Bonds favor.

All The Conference Stuff Is Baloney
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Miami Fla., Virginia Tech, and Boston College left the Big East and the Big East was a laughingstock. The almost universal opinion of fans and media was they should have their automatic BCS bid stripped.....The Big East has now won 6 straight bowl games, 2 of them BCS--one of those against the SEC champ in the SEC champ's home state.
There's very litle difference between these conferences and any D-1A road game is tough.

You Can Take Most Of The Top-25 Teams
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And there would be 30 or more non top 25 teams who at home would be favorites, pick-em, or very slight underdogs to the top-25 team.....Yet when you play a top-25 team, or a few of them, you have a damn tough game or schedule, if you play those other teams you "didn't play anybody."
For the most part the American sportsfan and media are mongoloid.

I Read
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The columns of our local newspaper sports nitwit, and I think-----It's guys like this who send in their ballots and that determines who the fans think has a tough schedule.

I Have Consistently
[Read the article: "We have failed on every promise"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Pointed out the problems with over-glorification of the military. There's some real losers, morons, fake he-men, sadists and jerk-offs in the military. And this is another huge cost of choosing war----what the hell that segment of the military is capable of doing in war.
They hear all the ass kissing of the military by everyone, and they figure they can do whatever the hell they want to do.

It'd Be Ridiculous
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]

No One Has Been

Well, except for Saddam, and looking back he seems to be the one guy who was preventing it.

Actually
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The thing that seems to have triggered the real outrage is the executions of the dogs.....we need to know more about that. If the losing dog was badly mauled then execution, however done, may have been the one decent humane thing.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I think the dogfighters should be somewhat commended as long as they restrict it to two pitbulls each with a fighting chance..........I mean they could do crap like toss kittens poodles down in to the pit

There May Be
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]A legitimate way of doing the dogfighting and gambling. But you'd have to have guys down in the pit so when one dog got a prescribed advantage you seperate and declare a winner........like a technical knockout before serious damage is done.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I just meant that on all the cable talk shows the right wingers keep saying --"Why doesn't the Dem Congress defund the war? They are gutless......They couldn't if they wanted to. You'd need 60 votes in the Senate to start with and then 67 to over-ride.

Kitt
[Read the article: Why is the Democratic Congress so unpopular?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I concur. Raise hell even if you don't have the votes.........It's funny the way it is, having the Speakership of the House, Leader of the Senate, and committee chairs does give us power. But the only real power is to investigate as a check to the executive branch, which didn't happen to Bush/Cheney for the first 6 years....But then all you get is executive privilege stonewalling and eventually voters tiring of the investigating.
