GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT

Innocent until proven guilty huh? Land of the free, home of the brave? Cue, Jigga Man: "I thought this was America people!"

The festivities for the 2007-2008 NFL season have already begun. Madden 08 officially dropped 40 minutes ago, and the Broncos just smacked up the Niners. Unfortunately, the highlight this season isn't taking place on the field.

Pacman Jones, Tank Johnson, three-quarters of the Cincy Bengals, and now, the most electrifying man in football. Add Mike Vick to the list. What's different about Vick's case is that the fucking guy hasn't even been convicted. Along with his jersey and merchandise being pulled of the shelves by the NFL, Vick has lost his endorsement deals with Nike, Reebok, and Rawlings. How messed up is that?

The NFL hinted yesterday that they're planning on suspending Vick for the season. Which once again brings me back to my point. WHY IS HE BEING SUSPENDED? Is it because PETA won't shut the fuck up? Is it because somebody with nothing going on in their lives decides to stand outside Niketown picketing a sign?

What if I were to say that I knew that Peyton Manning was funding a smut film for the mass rape of billy goats? And my two cousins are witnesses. Hell, they're more credible than the drug addict snitches the government have against Vick, right? Would that be enough for a Federal indictment?

And what if Mike Vick is somehow is found not guilty? I can't imagine what it'll take to rebuild his reputation. Well, Kobe did get acquitted for rape.
