Ann, that's a ferret.

I can see why the NFL would consider gambling a very grave sin. Gambling poses more of a threat to the integrity of the game with the risk that a player may tailor a performance to win a bet.

Running a dogfighting ring is certainly despicable. But barring blackmail threats from someone threatening to expose the ring (and that's a risk with any criminal activity -- or even anything legal but embarrassing), it isn't likely to affect a player's performance.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I might actually have to go to MySpace for those sweet little nerds.

MySpace isn't toooooo bad. Its rep is much worse than the actuality of it, I think. (My gods, it's the Starla of the internets!) It all depends on who you've friended.

I can't get into the site, but I'm curious as to the Raider's standings....

Ah yes, Rae Carruth. I'd have to do some looking, but I don't recall the league jumping on him until they were pushed either, though.

This is true. All my friends are people I know or "know"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

CNN has some additional quotes from the NAACP guy:

White also said he didn't understand the uproar over dogfighting, when hunting deer and other animals is perfectly acceptable.

Nutty! Is that "tu quoque"? Have I learned the correct Latin at your knee?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

While I like neither, one is actually, ya know, fucking LEGAL.

Right. I'm also not a huge fan of hunting, but at least some of the time, it provides *food* for people. As opposed to dog-fighting, which provides cheap and cruel thrills for assholes.
