As the Atlanta Falcons gear up for the Carolina Panthers, explain this: Where is the justice when Michael Vick can keep $16 million more of his signing bonus and Mike Smith gets fined $15,000 for sticking up for his quarterback? And: Why did Tony Gonzalez spill the beans by disclosing he and his wife were not nude for their PETA promotional photo?
Legally, maybe Vick deserved the disputed $16 mil of his bonus, the Falcons saying it should be pro-rated through the 2014 season. A federal appeals court disagreed, which set off celebrations among Vick's creditors, some of whom may get a few more pennies owed them.
The news wasn't all good for Vick this week. He may be living in Buffalo next winter.
On the subject of justice, how could DeAngelo Hall be in the middle of a brouhaha and be the only guy not fined by the NFL? Smith and an assistant coach got their wallets tapped, as did two other Redskins. But not one of the instigators?
As for Gonzalez and his wife October, two of the better-looking people on the planet, PETA publicists suggested the couple posed au natural. But Tony, perhaps to curtail the inevitable razzing from his teammates, said they were subtly clothed. We now must wonder about all of PETA' celebs-in-the-buff pics before them: Naked or not?
By the way, does this make Mrs. Gonzalez the true Miss October?
The Gonzales pic is SYMBOLIC. It is just a visual representation of a point PETA is trying to make.
To evaluate the technical minutiae of the picture or it's description is neither funny nor relevant.
If you want to challenge the purpose, OK. If you want to be entertaining, surely you can do better. As it is, this just looks like a cheap excuse to get the word "nude" into a headline.
