Deion Sanders, A Regular Dickens

Yes, Neon Deion, Prime Time, not only is he a multi-sport star, but he’s also a writer. Didn’t you know? He wrote an op-ed for the Southwest Florida News-Press, as Michael David Smith points out at both FanHouse and Pro Football Talk. His topic of course, was Michael Vick. And Prime Time had some interesting opinions.

Why are we indicting him? Was he the ringleader? Is he the big fish? Or is there someone else? The fights allegedly occurred at a property that he purchased for a family member. They apparently found carcasses on the property, but I must ask you again, is he the ringleader?
…
I believe Vick had a passion for dogfighting. I know many athletes who share his passion. The allure is the intensity and the challenge of a dog fighting to the death. It’s like ultimate fighting, but the dog doesn’t tap out when he knows he can’t win.

Yeah. So let’s see. Deion doesn’t think Vick should be targeted because he’s not the biggest dog fighting personality out there. And Deion also straight up thinks Vick has a passion for dog fighting. But it doesn’t end there — Deion knows many athletes who are into dog fighting! So how many NFLers are into dog fighting? How prevalent is this? And does Deion realize how much he’s burying Vick and his fellow NFLers here? Oh, and not to forget, that’s fantastic logic by Deion. Vick’s not the ring leader, so why bother with him. He might not be the No. 1 mastermind, but he’s brought more attention to what’s a horrible crime going on in the country. Through Vick, many more people will be caught. Got it Deion?
