Michael Vick Killed Gidget

"Gidget", the dog we all came to love in the Taco Bell commercials, tragically died on Monday, July 21, 2009. Coincidentally, Michael Vick was released from federal custody on Monday, July 21, 2009. Does this mean Vick killed the precious chihuahua? Not necessarily. But The Horace Grant Halftime Report is on the case:

Motive 1: Vick just completed a 23 month sentence for dogfighting. Assuming he killed a dog on the day before his sentence (which I'm sure he did), Vick is fresh off of a 699 day hiatus without harming an animal. For a man that has abused dogs his whole life, that must've been unbearable. So on day 700, Michael Vick went back to what he has done his whole life. In order to get his animal cruelty street cred back up and prove he is still true and not a snitch, he went after a high-profile dog (killing any other dog wouldn't suffice).

Motive 2: After pleading guilty to dogfighting, Michael Vick lost the majority of his endorsements. One of which was a monsterous deal with Coca-Cola. So what does Michael Vick do as soon as he is released to prove his loyalty to Coca-Cola and try to earn back their respect? He went straight after the competitor, Pepsi. How so, you ask? Well he stuck to what he knows best and murdered the face of one of PepsiCo's biggest brands - Taco Bell.

Roger Goodell, open your eyes. Michael Vick is pleading for reinstatement into the NFL for the 2009-2010 season. Is this the kind of role model you want in your league? Think about it. Case closed.
