Here at The Sports Culture, we don’t take animal abuse lightly. Sure, we pocked fun (repeatedly) at Michael Vick for his actions/involvement with dog fighting, but now it is just getting out of hand. There was a bat flying around in the AT&T Center and San Antonio Spur Manu Ginobili took it out in front of the crowd. At least Vick was discrete about killing animals. And what’s worse was the crowd exploded.

That’s not cool, Gopher. You’re going to hell.

A recent study done by HCD research did a survey of Americans’ most favorite celebrities in 2009, and unfortunately for Eagles’ quarterback Michael Vick, he is less likable than the father of Michael Jackson, Joe. While Vick is on his way to earning his respect back for some of his dog-killing ways, he still has some work to do to become someone that is embraced by the American public. For now, he goes into the same category is MJ’s abusive father.

While other teams in college football are spending countless of hours in the film room, weight room, and sweating in practice, we have more footage of how some of USC’s time is spent during their preparation. So keep wondering Trojan fans why your team continues to get upset by teams laced with inferior talent? Hmm…

Seattle Seahawks’ fullback Owen Schmitt thinks he is a bad ass, and he decided to show everyone just how tough he is by smashing his own helmet into his skull. Well, after the blood rushed down his face in front of a packed stadium, he looked more like a retard. Given all the studies that have been going done regarding the NFL’s effect on health in players’ later years, if he keeps this up he may literally be a retard. Wait, too late.
