Michael Vick Broke?

4 Oct

For the life of me I will never understand how professional athletes go through so much money. TMZ reported Thursday that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick has only $1.5 million left of the $31 million he earned over the last four years. Every time one of these stories comes out it, the media is called out for being racist. Black players make up 70% of the NBA and 80% of the NFL, just by pure numbers they are going to receive more coverage. As a side note I think that if people are really worried about racism in than they should try to figure out why 26 of the 32 starting quarterbacks in the NFL are white.

Regardless TMZ mischaracterized where Vick’s money went. Here is the actual breakdown:

$31.9 million (this is what he received over 4 years)

-$10.9 million in taxes( we all know you can not pay taxes cough cough Wesley Snipes.)

-$9.2 million to pay of debt (not sure how he got this much debt but I guess it’s good he paid it off).

-$2.7 million to lawyers and accountants (yeah he had to pay for his court fees from all the dog fighting stuff)

-$6.8 million in child support and living expenses (at least he pays his unlike some other pro athletes)

= $1.5 million left

So you see there is a perfectly reasonable explanation. And it isn’t so bad Vick is still a millionaire and he’s got at least another 3-5 solid years in the NFL left.

Ronda Rousey Vs. Kim Kardashian

12 Jul

If you missed the ESPYs then you missed MMA fighter Ronda Rousey challenging Kim Kardashian. Basically Rousey stated that she had no respect for Kardashian because she made her fame through a sex tape.She also stated that Kardashian is not a good role model for kids. I personally think that these ladies should fight it out in the ring.

Kardashian did so good bad last time she took to the ring for charity. If you remember the episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians she was flipping out about the fight. But I think with some training and the lure of a bunch of money maybe she might be convinced to step in it again. One can hope . . .

Until then we will let them battle it out in the press.

Tebow Thinks He’s Jesus Now

17 May

I am actually not surprised that this day has come. CubbyTees designed a “MY Jesus” t-shirt, which looks just like the New York Jets logo. Of course Tim Tebow sees this an automatically assumes it has something to do with him. Because as you know Tebow is the only Christian playing football for the Jets. Tebow is getting a little ahead of himself thinking he is the Jets’ savoir, if I am correct Mark Sanchez is still their main quarterback. His lawyers have already had the shirts removed from eBay. Regardless of profit I would think that Tebow would want to promote Christianity.

Khloe & Lamar: No More?

30 Apr

Can we just get the truth already? The suspense is killing me not affecting me at all.  TMZ reported that Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom were putting the brakes on their reality show so Odom could refocus on his lack of basketball career. Now Khloe’s reps are denying that the show has been cancelled. They are saying that they are unsure about what will happen depending on Odom’s basketball schedule. Right now Odom is just chilling since the Dallas Mavericks inactivated him for the remainder of the season. Although losing Odom hasn’t helped the Mavericks much in the playoffs. I do admire Khloe’s willingness to stand by her man and I hope Odom finds another basketball home soon.

Odom is back in LA working with a trainer to get ready for next season. Although there is no telling where he will be.
