For once, and ONLY once, The Fun Bunch Redskins Blog is going to defend Terrell Owens. His touchdown celebration in the endzone last week was clever, cute, and gave us the warm fuzzies. He was mocking the Patriots Cheating Scandal. It was nice. He pretended like he was using an old-timey film camera. Roger Goodell and the NFL didn't think so and fined T.O for the celebration. This is freakin' ridiculous. He barely did anything. Oh well. Here's some sexy for ya for a Thursday.
As predicted here on The Fun Bunch Redskins Blog, Michael Vick is negotiating a plea deal with federal prosecutors in his dog fighting case. All the other defendants already took pleas and presumably agreed to work with prosecutors in convicting Michael Vick. If and when Michael Vick pleads guilty, he is expected to be sentenced to some time in prison, according to federal sentencing guidelines.
"This doesn't sound like good news for Michael Vick," said Kent Alexander, once the U.S. attorney in Atlanta and now Emory University's general counsel. "Usually, if people plead guilty early in a case they may be cooperating with the government. That's what it sounds like here."
Ouch. Michael Vick is officially done as a football player. A very sad story for such a talented guy. He will be going to prison on federal charges. That is not good. Roger Goodell suspended Pacman Jones for makin' it rain. What do you think he'll do to Michael Vick for being convicted of a federal crime and going to prison. No team will touch him. He is done. Sayonara Michael Vick.
I may be a little premature here, but I think Michael Vick's football career is pretty much over. One of his co-defendants,Tony Taylor of Hampton Virginia pleaded guilty, and will now be working for the federal prosecutors. It doesn't look good for Vick, which sucks because I'm from Virginia and used to be a huge Vick fan. He's pretty much screwed at this point. Here are the scenarios he has to face:
1. Plead Guilty: Falcons cut him, some desperate team picks him up. He is jeered and heckled wherever he goes.
2. Go to trial and have all of his dirty laundry aired out while missing an entire season. If he gets acquitted, he should be able to salvage something of a career. I doubt he would take the risk of going to trial.
3. Go to trial, and be convicted. Ouch, hello federal penitentiary.
I promise this blog won't devolve into a TMZ.com clone but, it's a little slow on the Redskins news front in July... Who is in deeper shit these days, Lindsay "Li-Lo" Lohan or Michael Vick? Lindsay was arrested AGAIN last night for DUI and possession of cocaine. Michael Vick has been indicted on Federal charges related to an alleged dog fighting ring at his house in Smithfield, Virginia. He was also banned from training camp. If I were a betting man, I'd say Li-Lo will spend more time in jail, but Michael Vick is in more shit, just because of the sheer amount of money he stands to lose in contracts and endorsements. Lindsay can probably make enough money off Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen royalties to keep herself nostril-deep in blow for the next 20 years. Does anybody else think that Li-Lo's life will follow the same trajectory as Dana Plato?
