Ron Mexico

No wonder Vick wins aganst us. Our guys' wives probably tells them: "don't you be going out there wrapping up with Vick, he deseased."

 

I think ESPN is doing their best to shield Vick form any negative exposure. For a network that totally underminds the team concept in sports, who better to be their posterchild than Mike Vick, a one-man team in himself. It's pretty funny how he is accused of something like this and it falls silent, but meanwhile, three football players rub cream on themselves and the word "steroids" gets thrown on the entire Panthers organization. But that's how it goes, I guess.

 

Now we know what the Michael Vick experience is all about.....

 

"we" who?

 

I did not mean first hand knowledge. "We" being those who read that report.

 

Ron Mexico is a pretty good porn name. not really for him though

 

"Sick Dick Vick"

 

Rename "Levetra" "Levickra"

 

Thats a good one

 

PFT Part II:

STILL NO MENTION OF "MEXICO"

As of this posting, the "real" media continues to turn a blind eye to the lawsuit filed by a Georgia woman -- and revealed on Tuesday via TheSmokingGun.com -- against Falcons quarterback Michael Vick for giving her, well, a gift that keeps on giving.

To add a slight twist to one of Vince Lombardi's all-time great quotes: What the f--k is going on here?

The reason can't be that the "real" media doesn't report on mere allegations contained in a civil lawsuit on the basis that pretty much anyone can find a lawyer, pay the filing fee, and throw the poopie. After all, it wasn't all that long ago that the "real" media made a big splash with the story that Colts receiver Marvin Harrison and two of his friends were sued for allegedly attacking three boys with an assault that included "a potentially deadly choke hold" (we prefer the figure-four leg-lock, but that's an entirely different issue).

So why? Why? Why is the rest of the free world ignoring this one?

Is it because Vick is regarded as the future of the NFL? A poster boy for some of the very corporations that buy lots of advertising via the "real" media?

Or is it because the topic is unsavory? As we explained in an earlier post, there's a lot of stomach-churning stuff to which we're all exposed in the media, and we don't think that a story about a high-profile athlete giving a woman Herpes Simplex 7 (we know that the right number is "2," but "7" seems more appropriate at this point) is beyond the boundaries that already have been established over the past quarter-century.

The silence, frankly, is becoming shameful, and we wonder who'll be the first "real" journalist with sufficient sack to acknowledge the 700-pound lesion-infested elephant sitting in the middle of the living room.

For now, though, there's only two places where you'll find any print reference to this story -- here and at TheSmokingGun.com.

We've checked elsewhere, and we'll keep checking. And we'll keep aksing the questions that need to be aksed until someone convinces us that the NFL and the media hasn't erected (pun intended) a different set of rules for Ron Mexico.

On a somewhat lighter note, we discovered while searching for web pages containing "Vick" and "herpes" (a typo when entering those terms can unlock an entirely different universe of sites) an eerily prescient quote in a sports blog that's known as "TheMightyMJD.com." In its 2004 Week Six "Sunday Afternoon Smorgasbord," the author laments the Chargers' loss to the Falcons as follows:

"I can admit that Michael Vick was pretty brilliant down the stretch. Don't get me wrong, I don't feel like the best team won that game, but . . . Vick was the man. May he get genital herpes."

Hey MightyMJD dude -- remind us never to piss you off.
