Far be it from me to fall for Photoshopped images, but this is clearly a pic of Vick, the alleged dogfighter, clearly holding a pit bull puppy. It's whether or not it was inserted into the Virginia Beach SPCA frame.
So, the question is, did he "rescue" the 14 dogs from Hurricane Katrina to use them in dogfighting operations?
Ahh. After spending a couple of days on the CatsPause.com message boards (I suggest you go check it out for some good laughs), reading how everybody was so stoked that Donovan was locked up as the new KY coach, I can now just sit back and laugh.
After posts like:
How long will it take for Donovan to win the the National Championship?
What will be our starting lineup when Donovan steals Florida's recruits?
We are now seeing these gems....
BLAME TUBBY!!!
I'm going to kill myself...worst day of my life...
Bye Bye Patterson and Lucas, have fun beating our NIT team
And my favorite...
The tradition is over. UK Basketball is not a big deal to anyone anymore.
Well, at least that last post was true....
The most storied programs in the biggest of all of college sports couldn't land their men. Urban Meyer said "No thanks" to Notre Dame, and Billy Donovan declined to even speak with Kentucky. Kind of makes you wonder why Florida is so special.
My how the times have changed.

Backup singer: Reaaaaal Men Of Genius
Announcer: Today we salute you, Mr. Delusional, Irrational UK Fan.
Backup singer: Mr. Delusional, Irrational UK Faaaaaan!
Announcer: Season after season, year after year, you try to justify your absurdly high preseason ranking.
Backup singer: Why aren't we number one?
Announcer: You scramble to make futile attempts at damage control when the Cats lose to a grossly inferior opponent.
Backup singer: Neeeeeed to hire Billy Donovannnnn!
Announcer: Inevitably, you'll bring up the past, and boast of championships won 20 years before you were born.
Backup singer: Those were the daaaaaays!
Announcer: You will point out that you have more wins than any other program, as though that is relevant to the current season.
Backup singer: Been playing since the 1880ssssss!
Announcer: Go on, ignore that loss to your archrival in the regular season finale for the 6th consecutive time in a row, and continue to believe that you'll defeat your first round opponent with striking ease.
Backup singer: We'll still whoop that #### and win by thirteeeeeeey!
Announcer: So crack open an ice cold Bud Light, oh Emperor of Excuses, and take comfort knowing that when you don't finish in the top 25, you'll be back to number three when the preseason polls come out next year.
Backup singer: Mr. Delusional, Irrational UK Fannnnnnn!
Leave it up to Troy. That was the worst performance in Heisman history, and I am not surprised. I don't want to say I told you so, but I told you so. That was, offically, the worst quarterback rating in BCS history, with a solid 35.25 quarterback rating. 4-14, 35 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT. Oh, and lets just add in his rushing attempts: 10 attempts for -29 yards. Did I mention that he completed only 4 passes for 35 yards? FOUR PASSES!!! Combine the two, and Heisman Winner Troy Smith was responsible 6 yards of total offense. That's offensive.
Here's a stat for ya:
Pass Completions: 4 Times Sacked: 5
Here's to all the naysayers, doubters, haters, evildoers and non-believers.
T-H-E Ohio State University got flat out embarrased. Man-handled. Destroyed. Demoralized.
Dejected.
Maybe we should also mention that T-H-E Ohio State University was held to 82 total yards. Yes, I said 82. That's 47 rushing, to go along with the whopping 35 passing. That is also the worst offense output in BCS history.
"The Gator defense is overrated!" Hahahahahaha. Heard that one before.
"But Ginn was hurt." Well, Ted didn't give up 41 points and all of those sacks.
Last I checked, Ginn doesn't play on defense.
And at least Eric Crouch (another overrated Heisman winner) passed for over 100 yards in the defense of his Heisman. I haven't looked up Gino Toretta's stats, but I bet he completed more than 4 passes in his bowl game.
UPDATE: After scouring the Internets, I finally found Gino Torretta's line from the 1993 Sugar Bowl
25-56, 278 yards, 0 TD, 3 INT Rating of 75.63
SPEED
Kirk Herbstreit (an OSU alum and player) said it best: "The Ohio State offensive line looked like they were moving in slow motion."
"The defense looked like they had ankle weights on."
For Troy Smith to be chased down by a Gator defensive lineman out in the flats (on more than one occasion) speaks volumes.
As I'm watching the ESPN postgame, Herbstreit keeps mentioning the SPEED of the Gators. Didn't hear that it would be a factor about 4 hours ago.
About the speed of the Bucs, I think Reggie Nelson said it best, "With his speed, Ginn should be playing in the SEC."
Nice.
LEAK
25-36, 212, 1 TD, 0 INT
MVP
'Nuff said.
Oh, and ZERO interceptions. And ZERO turnovers by the Gators.
I thought I heard some saying how much Troy was going to shred the Gators' secondary. And how blah, blah, blah, blah. And how Leak was going to throw multiple INTs. And how blah, blah, blah.
HARVEY AND MOSS
Sack, sack, sack. A forced fumble. A fumble recovery. And a sack.
Is that only four? Let me add another....
SACK!!!
FINAL THOUGHTS
Give us our props, O, pete, Marty, sleepless, bengals, remy (nice name, for a chick), mcsrr8 (have you gotten over your LD enough to use spell check yet?), GR8UN54 (seems your avatar of Troy running away with the Coach's trophy would get him arrested......again), GA345 who said, and I quote, "Troy Smith is going to murder the Florida secondary and be named the player of the game," ; Bob, flying, and all of you other naysayers, doubters, haters, evildoers and non-believers...nice try.
In bowl games this season: The BigTeleven 2-5. SEC 6-3 Seems like the BigTeleven is behind on that one. Granted, the Big2Little9 was 2-1 against the SEC, but they lost the only one that really mattered.
Ohio State is STILL winless against the SEC in bowl games. They are now 0-8. The last two losses coming at the hands of Florida and South Carolina.
One last thing that my fiancee said to me at halftime, while we ALREADY had the game in hand (yes, pete, I am engaged. To a female.) She said, "We haven't done anything differently tonight than we did all season. Except execute."
And my, what an execution it was. I haven't seen an execution like that since the Saddam hanging cell phone video.
So, I leave you with this:
FLORIDA GATORS, 2006-2007 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS(in football)
FLORIDA GATORS, 2005-2006 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS(in basketball)
with many more to come
PS I didn't hear Lauraniatis's name called too much. Although, we heard Troy Smith's name called quite a few times. Like when he was being sacked, throwing an interception whilst under pressure, and when he was fumbling the ball whilst being sacked.
