3 Heads are Better than 1

a wonderful football ice cream sundae.

frame 1: "hi, i'm barry cofield (#96) and this is my teammate fred robbins (#98). we thought we'd come by and introduce ourselves. we're DT's (defensive tackles?) for the giants."

frame 2: "hi, i'm michael vick, quarterback for the atlanta falcons. but you can call me ron mexico."

frame 3: "too bad la commish isn't in the middle of this to supervise...."

ok, so maybe that's not exactly how it went down. but if you take a look at the trashtalk that followed the giants victory over the atlanta falcons 2 sundays ago, it's kinda close:

michael vick, atlanta falcons quarterback, on giants D: "a vanilla defensive scheme"

antonio pierce, giants linebacker: "well, if it was vanilla, how come he didn't do better?"

lavar arrington, giants linebacker: "whether it was vanilla or not, the bottom line is it was good vanilla...i think it has a little bit of a caramel swirl in it. it was a little tasty."

la commish, fan & blog writer: "yum. i'll be the cherry you can put on top."

having spent many hours at work staring into space and in an attempt to make myself invisible, i had a lot of time to ponder the current vick situation. here is the outcome of my worplace ruminations:

michael vick = ugg Boots

like the ubiquituous ugg boots, vick has a lot of naysayers. but season after season, there they are, adorning both the feet of women everywhere and the georgia dome. both are possessing of a particular style; the ugg boot as the shoe that goes with nothing and everything at the same time, michael vick as the left hand throwing quarterback who is known for his tremendous quickness yet technically poor (seeming) football skills. both have been accused of being overhyped; both have been lauded for their unique style. uggs & michael vick....controversial, misunderstood, and brimming with "personality."

in a final vick note concerning sexual safety, i encourage all my phreaders to google the name 'ron mexico'. suffice it to say, this blog will not be sponsoring any "win a date with michael vick" contests anytime soon...
