Starbury Defends Michael Vick

I heard about this on the Jim Rome Show while driving home from the doctor's office ... and Shoals over at the Fanhouse has the take.  Seriously, what is wrong with these people????  SHUT UP!  

I know that there will be people out there supporting Michael Vick, but don't give me the "he didn't do anything that bad" card.  You can watch Marbury's comments here. 

Check out B-Shoals take on it:

Marbury's Crazy Just Stopped Being Cute

It's been a big last few months for Stephon Marbury. His masses-friendly shoes have made him into a social justice crusader, and his loony behavior has made his image vaguely agreeable. Not bad for a guy who, as recently as last season, epitomized "cancer."

But he just crossed the wrong line to cross, and did so about a week too late for an apology. In an interview with
Albany's Capital News 9, Marbury had some sympathetic words for Vick and the cause of dogfighting. Transcription from The Knix Fix:
"We don't say anything about people shooting deers and shooting other animals. You know what I mean? From what I hear, dog-fighting is a sport. It's just behind closed doors and I think it's tough that we build Michael Vick up and then we break him down. I think he's one of the superb athletes and he's a good human being. I think he fell into a bad situation."
Thank god it's the off-season, and the NBA is hung up on the horror of Eddie Griffin's death. Otherwise, this could really ruin Marbury's reputation all over again. And as is, he's still going to catch a lot of heat for it.

What do you expect from someone like him? When he was in Minesota all he did
was worry about how much money KG got,faked being his friend and talked
about him like a dog behind his back. He's perfect for NYC.
