Let Vick out the Doghouse

Like most people I dont condone what Vick did but he has paid his debt to society. I dont think some people understand how bad prison is. They arent adding extra stuff into the tv shows and movies just to scare you straight they are normally leaving the worst stuff out. It is really bad in there. Vick did almost 2 years and that enough time for what he did. If an NFL team wants to hire him then thats their business but PETA loves publicity so they will be out there to protest. IF they really felt that passionate about Vick they would have protested him at the construction site he works at. There are no cameras there so PETA doesnt feel the need to stretch their hamstrings out in front of that place.

The latest report from Chris"I make stuff up"Mortenson and Sal"the titans have made a draft day offer for anquan boldin"Palantonio is that Roger Goodell will meet with Vick and allow him to be signed by a team an attend camp. I would be shocked if Goodell does that but if he does maybe I can change my opinion of him for awhile or at least until he starts changing even more rules to guarantee his best friend Bob Krafts Patriots always make the playoffs and Tom Brady never gets his jersey dirty or breaks a sweat.

Roger Goodells wife Jane Skinner works for Foxnews so its not a shock that he is very conservative and strict(except with the Patriots).The two stews called him Goodell Castro and someone in the stands here called him GOD-dell but he has been playing God with certain players lives and contradicting himself with stricter punishments for players than clubs. The one good thing he changed was having kids out of wedlock doesnt look so bad for us guys now that Tom Brady did it. ESPN has stopped doing an outside the lines report everytime a babymomma gets bored and says something negative about an athlete. They have to protect Tom Brady. I need Brady to start playing the Lottery so I can finally be ahead of a cool trend instead of always being 4 years late on trends like Europe.

BREAKING NEWS: INTERNET BLOGGER FINED BY NFL FOR JOKING ABOUT TOM BRADY AND THE PATRIOTS.

ESPN vs LeBron

ESPN confiscated the Mike and Mike roast video but now they are making fun of Nike for not releasing the LeBron getting dunked on video. I agree that the video should be released and LeBron should have a sense of humor about it but I also think the Dana Jacobson rant video footage should be out there. ESPN as usual acts like some hypocrites by making fun of LeBron and Nike for their power move with the video. Most people would have been fired for what Dana Jacobson said.

Someone said I hate ESPN but I dont hate ESPN. I enjoy the work of Bill Simmons,Jemele Hill,Kenny Mayne, Anthony Kim,Mike"the thrill"Hill,The Jay guy on Firsttake but I dont like Firsttake I like first and ten. PTI when its tony and mike is good and Around the Horn when Jay Marriotti isnt there. Hate is a very strong word I wouldnt throw it around to describe how I feel about a network.

Dont hate the player, hate the game?

Richard Gasquet tested positive for cocaine and was suspended from professional tennis. Somehow he in reinstated after telling them that he kissed a woman in the nightclub who passed the cocaine to him. This story sounds like a bad episode of (plug in name of any lame attempt at making a tv show recreate a pro sport). All I can say is dont hate the player hate the game I guess. With a mouth like that this guy should be paid more as a motivational speaker than Tony Robbins and Sarah Palin combined.

Powerball 27.6 mill lump sum after taxes for wednesday and Megamillions 15.8 milli after taxes for tuesday. August 3rd first Titans preaseason game and august 15th Titans first home preseason game. Any football will be good to rescue me from golf without tiger woods in contention and wnba games. Im also looking forward to this preseason because Vince Young will play alot because he is 2nd or 3rd string QB. I think he should be the starter but I dont run the team or coach the team I just help pay all the salaries like the other fans but we have no say in who starts or gets signed in free agency. We also have no say in whose number gets retired by the team but thats another post for another day. If I win the lottery I will sit in the same section at games but ill have (plug in any single woman who is an 8 on a scale of 1-10 in beauty) sitting next to me. I do want kids while im still young enough to keep up with them BUT right now on lifetime there is a movie called,"The Cheaters Club" about wives who are advised by their therapist to have affairs to save their boring marriages,WTH??? As my old boss used to say I dont want to be put in a trick bag(translation) I dont want to be made to look like a fool. Getting cheated on as a boyfriend is bad and hurts but once you are married there is custody hearings and even if she cheated you can lose half your loot depending on what state you are in. If this poor guy is so boring to you now why dont you do him and yourself a favor and leave him so you can both be single. You arent doing him a favor by cheating. Cheating is all about pleasing you, it doesnt make you a better wife or mom. Im not a fan of hypocrites who hide selfish acts as them doing someone else a big favor.

Moonwalker

Did we land on the moon? This is one of those things I never questioned growing up like religion but now I wonder. Some new photos and footage has been released that was never seen before of the first moon landing. 40 years and no one thought to release it? The Michael Jackson footage of his hair on fire was just released but im sure that was more of a pepsi not wanting bad press and the insurance company not wanting to lay blame.
At the time with sputnik and the space race I can understand why we may have lied. Im on the winning team(usa) so Im happy. The biggest thing is technology has come so far in 40 years but we dont have the civilian vacation trips now. Why havent we been back more recently? We have ipods,hdtv,internet,viagra and so many other things then why havent we been back more recently? It should be like a trip across the country to us now because its so easy.
I dont know if we really got there or not but this is the 40 year anniversary and im happy to be an american because if I lived anywhere else my life wouldnt be as good. Now that im on the winning team of being an American I am ready to get on the winning team of winning millions in the lottery. I have my megamillions for tonight and my powerball for saturday. The cash payout is 11.7 million for megamillions and 23.1 for powerball. I want the cash payout and not annuities because I dont want my money now I want my money right now. Stay thirsty my friends.

Millionaire versus Billionaire

I watched an interview with the same guy who wrote "Bringing down the house" and his new book is about young billionaires like the Youtube guys and the Facebook guy. The facebook guy is the youngest self make billionaire in american history at 25. They said he didnt like money but if thats true I would have received my,"Hey dude I hate money so im giving what I dont need away a million at a time"check(im still up to receive that if you want to send it kind sir).
So being the dreamer that I am I wondered if I wanted to be a billionaire or a millionaire. So many pro athletes are millionaires and they go broke trying invest to be become the first one to hit the billion mark. Antoine Walker owes 3 casinos in vegas 832,000 but they reported he made 100 million in his career(see my other post about reporting salaries). Of course vegas casino floors are the type of investment im talking about normally but some lawyers and accountants have to be financially set from working for walker for 12 years and now he is in need. It could be his own doing but try to slow him down if you can. Like any other person it eventually falls at your feet what you do with your money. Depending on the economy Tiger Woods could hit the billion mark in earnings by next season. The author also mentioned the facebook billionaire now has friends he would have never had and he is in the cool crowd who would have never been with him in high school.
Fair weather friends dont bother me after I win the lottery or marry a rich woman*clears throat*. The thing that really bothers me is maybe the whole safety issue. I wouldnt be as paranoid as a millionaire but a billionaire is in Forbes at least twice a year on that list and criminals also see that. Bill Gates cant just pop up places and even a fun loving frat boy like Mark Cuban has to watch his steps closely. I have met any millionaires and they acted like any regular person in the suburbs would act. I sat next to one at the titans game and im sure there are many more in every section,club,nosebleeds and of course the private boxes. A frugal millionaire may not want to pay extra for better seats or like with the titans 100 level you hang around until halftime and most of the people around you are buying strangers beer anyway so you all are friends for 3 hours(sports breaking down racial and social barriers again*sheds tear*)
With me being single and not having kids I would be a great target for a woman who wants to use me. In a perfect world you meet your spouse before you are rich so you know the dont just want you for money or you both have money so its not an issue. Marriage is really getting beat up lately so that is a long shot but I definitely want kids. A surrogate would be an issue too because what if she changes her mind and wants the kids or what if when the kids grow up they are mad that I chose that route. I grew up in a two parent household so it wouldnt seem fair to force kids to grow up in a single parent household by my own choice when I have no experience in that department.
I notice I use "() and **" too much. Moving right along. So maybe the desire to stay at millionaire status is just fear to succeed or maybe its the smart thing to do. Then again if I moved to vegas Im sure I would knock the billions down to millions in a few months but the memories would be priceless.

Mission Statement

On Jerry Maguire they kept asking him what he meant by his letter and he kept saying it was a "mission statement". My point of this blog or what I wanted to become is like a bill simmons meets Bol(less controversial by a mile but still try to be cleverly funny).

Ampgeez made the suggestion for me to start it and his site is goo and he posts when he wants and what he wants so I like that style too. Shabooty makes it clear in his name what most of his topics wil consist of and he prefers the comedic route just like me. Bill Simmons ,Ron Mexixo,Combat Jack,Bol and Dallas Penn have their styles down so you know it was written by them when you read it even without checking to see who wrote it.

I dont think I am as funny here as in the comments sections so maybe im more of a power forward who needs people to pass him that topic(ball) so he can score instead of creating his own shot. Maybe I just take a different approach here because I can type more and I have more time. Its really up to you the reader to decide how you feel about me.
Stay thirsty my friends(if you thought that joke would get old to me by now then you dont know me very well).

Origin of Name

Someone emailed me asking the origin of my name. He admitted he was drunk reading the comments over at xxl and he thought about why the heck would I name myself geico lizard? The answer is I was on hhdx and my friends kept recognizing my funny comments. They would say,"Man I know thats you on hhdx talking about you are still in love with your ex and stuff" or "I saw you talking about how angel lola luv cant hold a candle to vanessa williams or kenya moore". So I decided to change my username and much like batman seeig a bat on his window or falling down a well into a batcave it depends on what version you read or saw first(nerd alert). I saw an add for geico insurance at the top and thats what I chose.

Some people have copied the name and even became family members like the "geico lizards dad" username over on byroncrawford,ha ha. One person thought I worked for geico and I was some genius advertiser try to reach urban youth, ha ha, I wish i was drawing a check from geico that would be cool but for now im trying to avoid putting their name into to too many controversial statements. If they want to pay me Id go for that but no Geico tattoos for me.
