I Christen thee, The Flying Wasp


Appears a federal marshal has repossessed a $1.5 million 70-foot yacht owned by former NBA-er and Choke Hold Artist, Latrell Sprewell.

damn, where's my Asshat guy when I need him :)

Wasn't Sprewell the same guy, who only a few short years ago when negotiating his last contract, said: "I got a family to feed."

Looks like "Spree" also had a boat to pay for. He has since defaulted on his $1.3 mil mortgage on the yacht, which was named "Milwaukee's Best."

More asshat news...

Stephon Marbury was the latest to come to Michael Vick's defense, saying there's basically no difference between dog fighting and hunting deer.

Without dissecting this too much, I guess you could start with the main difference: one is illegal, the other is not illegal.

Marbury even takes it a step further by calling Vick, "a good human being."

Good human beings don't hang, drown, electrocute, and strangle defenseless animals because they aren't up to snuff in the ring. Let me rephrase that...

Human beings don't hang, drown, electrocute, and strangle defenseless animals because they aren't up to snuff in the ring.

What Vick and his pals have done is indefensible and barbaric. I don't care what culture you're from. If you get enjoyment from torturing dogs, you're on the opposite end of the "good human being" spectrum. Being a scum bag has nothing to do with race. It's not a race issue. And I find it pretty amazing, not to mention pretty scary, to think that some people are completely oblivious to this.

When you blindly defend the indefensible, you lose any credibility you had. In the case of "Starbury," it was probably very little anyway.
