I'm pretty excited. Taking my little brother as his 14th birthday present. Unfortunately, I will be unable to use the Playboy party tickets that I won as well as I'm not 21 yet. No Snoop Dogg for me...

^^ that is the nature of professional athletics unfortunately. mike vick said in connecticut a couple months back that he would still be fighting dogs if he never got caught, but everyone is still all over his dick. To me (and my boxer/pit Nevada) vick is still just a punk ass dog killer.

One guy was in prison for 18 months (and lost 3 seasons during his prime); the other had a 6-game suspension reduced to 4 because he didnt rape any girls for a whole month. It's a bit different. Also, Ben's bodyguard at the second known rape was an off-duty cop, the 'investigation' was deliberately botched, and despite evidence, no charges were even brought against Ben. I guess the difference is pretty big.
But, the storyline last year was that all effects of Hurricane Katrina were nullified by the Saints winning. This year, Ben can win and all those girls will be un-raped and their lives/futures returned to them.
Mike Vick deserved jail, and he should have been banned from the NFL for life. Ben is a total piece of shit and his lifestyle will catch up with him eventually. However, let me remind everyone here about the typical rape claims against celebrities... Woman sleeps with celebrity, enjoys it, gets upset because celebrity wont give her a ride home, or pay her car note, or put her kid through college, screams rape. Say all you want to about this, but it would be nearly impossible to get away with a true (violent) rape. I am not saying this to be degrading to women, maybe 3% of the female population would find themselves in this scenario if the opportunity presented itself.
I believe the packers will win by 17, and rogers will be spectacular. 70% completion, 300+ yards, 2 touchdowns. Final score 31-14

None of the girls wanted money. The most recent one wanted to leave (and her friend wanted to help her) but an off-duty cop was blocking the door.
It's always frightening when guys try to find these excuse (often, such as now, at complete odds with facts at their disposal) for rape. Nobody's 'asking for it' and it is the height of pathetic to ever think they 'had it coming.'

Speaking of 'forcible rape', Kobe Bryant's rape even left injuries/blood. But he's, like, super famous and he won a bunch of NBA Finals, so the rape was taken away and that girl is just fine now!

Donte Stallworth killed a man and got just 30 days in jail and a one year ban. Should he have been banned for life? What Vick did was atrocious and he deserved jail, but to prevent him from earning a living in the NFL is ridiculous. If he had been a damn construction worker and then convicted of dog fighting would you say he shouldnt be able to work in construction again? I was conflicted when the Eagles signed him, but he's saying and doing all the right things so it at least SEEMS like he's remorseful
I think the superbowl gonna be a defensive battle with both teams scoring around 20 points. I'm picking Packers in a close one

I don't understand how anybody can conflate going to prison for a crime with having a police officer assist in a crime (rape, no less), and then the police/judicial system (and sports media) work to cover it up.

^^ to noeysasquatch : in case you missed it up a little higher ( and not trying to be a jerk here ), on a speaking tour of two high schools in new haven, ct he was asked if he wasn't caught would he still be doing it, answer yes. i see no remorse in that. he's just upset he got caught.
sorry to continue this, he just pisses me off so much. and he doesn't deserve the praise he's received.

but i mean, vick, roethlisberger, stallworth, braylon edwards, kobe, to name a few, have all gotten away with lax punishment. like i said, the unfortunate nature of professional athletics.

I dont think Vick got away with lax punishment, he put in jail time, went bankrupt and is still putting in hours. I agree that some athletes get away with lax punishment but i dont put Vick in that category. On the other hand some players get made an example of- Plaxico Burress got 2 yrs ( i think) for shooting himself in the leg. Theres 2 sides to it
