I sucked at baseball, I suck at acting and now I'm going to be sucking Michael Vick.
How sad is the world we live in? You know you’re way past your prime in the game of life when you revert to killing your girlfriend’s cat because you’re jealous of it.
That’s right, a prosecutor said Monday that Joseph Petcka, who pitched in the New York Mets’ minor league system in 1992, was a “washed-up, never-made-it-to-the-big-leagues athlete” and a “D-minus” actor.
Don’t take our word for it. That’s what prosecutor Leila Kermani told jurors during her closing argument in Petcka’s aggravated animal cruelty trial.
A pussy killing a pussy. As Charles Barkley would say, that’s just turr-ble.
But wait. Let’s back up a minute. Just why did this has been hurler kill the pet? He complained his girlfriend at the time loved the cat more than she loved him. And well, could you blame her? She’s a Sports Illustrated writer and according to her, he’s a drunk.

Happy Birthday Delicia Cordon.
You know this girl is gonna party hard tonight. Not only is she the boo bear of Michael Vick Dick’s brother, Marcus, but she’s also been featured in six rap/r&b music videos and two big screen videos. She’s been in magazines and calendars. She’s hot shit, basically.
But a quick note to this black and Italian (word up to our boy Vince) diva before you hit the clubs tonight: make sure to get a designated driver tonight or else you and Marcus Vick could be caught riding dirty again.
Go inside for a video of Delicia. Would you Beat?

Welcome to another installment of TSC’s Who’s Not Now. We’ve created the bracket of 16 athletes and figures of the sporting world who took the wrong paths in life and now must face humiliation on this blog. We’re breaking them down. You decide Who’s Not Now.
No. 3 Michael Vick, fomer NFL quarterback vs. No. 14 Becky Hammon, WNBA and Olympic guard
Why Vick is Not Now: Michael Vick was supposed to be the Brett Favre of the Atlanta Falcons. After being the first overall pick in the 2001 NFL draft, he spent six years with the pro organization. During that time, Vick’s name was linked to many events that led up to his 23-month jail sentence for federal dog fighting. In 2004 two men were arrested for selling pot and were in a truck registered to Vick. In 2005 Sonya Elliott said she got genital herpes from Vick. Now he’s washing pots and pans for 12 cents an hour and playing prison football to stay in shape. Don’t drop the soap!
Why Hammon is Not Now: Becky Hammon played in the WNBA from 1999-2006 for the New 
York Liberty before playing for the San Antonio Silver Stars. That’s seven years in the most patriotic city in America. And yet, Hammon has chosen to be a traitor and represent Russia in Beijing for the Summer Olympics. Anne Donovan, the head coach of the U.S. Women’s Olympic basketball team, said, “If you play in this country, live in this country and you grow up in the heartland, and you put on a Russian uniform, you are not a patriotic person.” Well said, coach Donovan.
TSC’s Pick: Michael Vick
But we don’t make the choices. YOU must vote on the right-hand column for who you think is “Not Now.”
Voting ends Monday at 7 p.m.
