Michael Vick Regrets Nothing

Michael Vick recently gave an interview to the Wall Street Journal about his endorsement with sports-gear maker Unequal Technologies. When asked if he could change anything about the past, Vick responded that he wished he got less time in jail than his pesky 18-month prison sentence for dogfighting. Not the dogfighting itself, but the jail sentence. What an idiot. Vick still doesn't get it. Even if he doesn't regret the dogfighting, say that you regret drowning and electrocuting those poor dogs. A little success and Vick is slipping from his good-boy personality. Figures that he plays for the Eagles. Let's hope he wins as many games next year.

Rangers-Capitals Game 4 Quick Reaction

Capitals 4, Rangers 3 (2OT)
Capitals lead series 3-1

That was brutal. Imagine the girl you had a crush on was like "I really just like you as a friend...wait actually...no just like a friend...wait actually...no just a friend." That's what this game was like. I didn't think anything would be worse than the DeSean Jackson Eagles game but this was worse. Same scenario. We were up by three scores. First one they got back, it was because of a lack of effort. The second one was a bit of luck. And that third one. The backbreaker. They just worked for it. But then, they didn't go for the kill right away. They let us hang around for an extra two periods. Gave us hope. And then pulled it away. It just hurts because after Boudreau's comments the other day, we were really letting him hear it. It was personal. I can't bear the thought of him leaving the Garden with a smile on his face. The Rangers were plain overconfident. They kicked ass in the second period but forgot the game was still going on in the third. The first goal they gave up was total carelessness and it gave the Caps the momentum to get back into the game. It's going to be tough to win in Washington but that's two third period-leads the Rangers have blown in the series so it's far from being a beatdown. The Rangers have survived every time they've been counted out this season. Hopefully, this is another of those times.

Dodgeball Is Safe Again!

On Tuesday, the New York State Health Department released a list of dangerous games for children that included kickball, dodgeball, tag, and capture the flag. If any summer programs featured one of these activities, it would be considered a summer camp and subject to more regulations and fees. After much criticism and their friends probably calling them idiots, the Health Dept. said they would review the list and did what anybody else would do: blame the blind guy, as in former Gov. Dave Patterson. The people in the Health Dept. obviously were never asked to play games as kids and are now trying to take their childhood rage out on 10-year-olds.

Really, how dangerous is capture the flag? You look for the flag, you find it, and try to run it back to your side. Is that more dangerous than going up a flight of stairs? Maybe all summer programs should be conducted in one-story bulldings (with all the walls padded of course). This is why our society is becoming so wimpy. Let kids fall. Let them get tough. Then, if they lose their job or a girl breaks their heart, they won't become an whiny alcoholic who brings a gun into work. Life isn't all candy canes and hundred-dollar bills, sweetheart. Sometimes you have to just get some balls in your face.

What's Stephon Marbury Up To?

All this talk about the Knicks losing made me think of Stephon Marbury. Sports magazine GQ has an interesting article about his time in China. And it appears he got the word "China" tattooed on his arm. I wouldn't expect anything less.

Mauer & Polamalu For Head & Shoulders?

They kept showing this commercial during the Knicks game and it was pissing me off. Why are Joe Mauer and Troy Polamalu doing a shampoo commercial together? What do the two have in common? Polamalu's got the hair, but is Mauer's hair really that special for them to make a nonsensical ad together? Who are the ad wizards that came up with that one?

Knicks-Celtics Game 2 Quick Reaction

Celtics 96, Knicks 93
Celtics lead series 2-0

That was another heartbreaker. It hurts more than the first game because they really shouldn't have been hanging around without Big Shot and Amar'e. Jeffries didn't make the best move ever on the final play but what do you expect from him? If anything, my big criticism is why is Roger Mason in the game? He did make a big 3 but Landry Fields was playing OK and isn't afraid to put the ball on the floor out there. The Knicks played valiantly. Carmelo was awesome, not only scoring but rebounding, playing D, and getting his teammates involved. Rondo created some problems and the big guys need to help out better although that does leave some of the perimeter guys open. Besides that, the defense has been really good. The guys are shifting and contesting every shot. If the team was healthy, I'd predict a big Game 3 but I'm afraid especially with Amar'e hurt. I liked the way Toney ran the team. It was quick and upbeat but he needs to stay out of foul trouble. Still, you miss Big Shot's experience. The crowd is going to need to come up huge for Game 3.

Kemba Walker Reads First Book

Kemba Walker, the UConn guard who led his team to the NCAA Title and is preparing to graduate after three years at school, recently realized another major life accomplishment: he read his first book. According to Sports Illustrated, Forty Million Dollar Slaves: The Rise, Fall, and Redemption of the Black Athlete by William C. Rhoden is admittedly the first book Kemba has read from cover-to-cover upon recommendation from an academic counselor. My personal first was The Little Engine That Could so I give Kemba a lot of credit for picking a tough one to start with. Apparently, you don't need to do much reading to get your sociology degree at UConn. I figured he would have majored in something easier like recreational studies. I think that's what Van Wilder did.

Life-Size Barbie Hotter Than Regular Girls Despite Lack Of Hands

I think I'm in love. As part of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week (more food for me), Galia Slayen created a life-size doll representing what Barbie would look like if she were a real person. Barbie's measurements are 39/18/33, so I don't see what the problem is. She's not going to dominate the conversation, has a flawless complexion, and look at that rack. We just need the guy from Edward Scissorhands to make some hands for her that aren't scissors and my future wife is ready. Yeah, I like to hold hands because I'm a romantic. Barbie, come holler at me in The Suite.
