longshot7 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 11, 2007 -> 11:52 AM) Again someone worrying about the a-bomb getting dropped from Russia With Love, would find it unbelievable that a guy would lose $140 million dollars and spend two months in prison over dogs. We're smarter now. I'd have given him the death penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 12, 2007 -> 10:31 AM) There's slippery slope... and then there is Tex's 5.13 vertical drop. 50 years would not be a 5.13, but wouldn't that be the same vertical drop that took down Vick?

I don't know what a "verticle" is, but it sounds gross. I'm just giving you crap. There is a sliding scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a sliding scale. I agree, but I picture some guy in 1957 hearing that someone lost $140 mil and will spend two years in jail and he'd probably think it was crazy. So what will we think is crazy in 50 years, besides Mike's 10,000,000 post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Pratt Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 What's this I hear about him getting out early if he undergoes drug treatment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Controlled Chaos Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jan 7, 2008 -> 08:46 PM) What's this I hear about him getting out early if he undergoes drug treatment? So did he intentionally get caught during his release so he could qualify for this program? I wouldn't be surprised if a smart lawyer cooked that thing up.

santo=dorf Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 There is a code among some prisoners that they don't talk about their cases. Problem was, everybody knew about Morris' case because it was all over the newspaper, all over the television. Multiply that by a million, and you're in Vick's neighborhood. "The guards tell you from the jump, because you're a football player, you're not getting preferential," Morris says. "It seems like it's the opposite. It seems like you get treated worse because you're an athlete. They look at an ex-football player coming in, millions of dollars, and the first thing they can say, 'He's dumb, that was stupid, him doing that.' "The guard doesn't understand how in the hell can you be caught up in certain situations when you have all this money and they have to work for theirs. There's jealousy from that standpoint, and you will automatically find out which guards don't like you and you'll stay away from them." Morris also stayed away from the TV room. Part of that was lying low, he says, but most of it was trying to stay away from football. You think a sports bar is filled with armchair quarterbacks? Try a prison. http://www.eurweb.com/story/eur40134.cfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
