Morning Walk-thru - Where my dawgs at?

Unbelievable...I never thought that I would see anyone approach the level of utter depravity displayed by Lawrence Phillips, but Michael Vick might be right there with him.

Virginia police searched a house owned by Vick after arresting the man who lived there on some pot charges. While there, they found nearly 60 dogs and "items associated with dog fighting."

At this point, these are all allegations and an investigation is pending, but can it get any worse for Michael Vick? Or how about his attorney, Larry Woodward, who has had the good fortune of representing both Michael and his equally crazy lil' brother, Marcus?

The good news is PETA is now involved, urging Falcons owner, Arthur Blank to kick Vick to the curb should he be found guilty of involvement in dog fighting.

If there's anyone who can rival the brothers Vick in terms of craziness, it's PETA. Should be an interesting little episode. Can we get the South Park guys on the phone?

Sammy Sosa sets record, but still wants to win...With two home runs yesterday in a 9-4 loss to Cleveland, Sammy Sosa added Jacobs Field to the list of parks in which he has homered. It's his 44th and a new major league record. Congrats, I think.

Sammy says, "It's nice to have that record, but I would have enjoyed it more if we had won."

With both Bonds and Sosa, public enemies number one and probably three in the great steroid caper, in the top ten in their respective leagues in home runs, does this offer any sort of redemption for the pair of sluggers? Is it safe to assume that if they were juicing before, they aren't now and they're still hitting homers thereby demonstrating at least some sort of natural talent?

I'm not sure yet, but it's a question we're all going to have to ask ourselves soon enough because Bond's is breaking Aaron's record and Sosa could have 600 before June.

More on this as I sort it out.

The new NFL Draft hats are here!...You're never going to believe this, but they're awful. By my count, this marks the 37th straight hat released by the NFL and/or Reebok that's been ultimately unwearable by anyone who has any self-respect.

This year's version is mesh ('cuz the kids like trucker hats, right?), features a white bill that is guaranteed to stay clean until you try it on at the store, a team color sandwich brim and mini-bill that contains the team name, and two contrasting color stitches just because they could.

Really, how hard is this? I'm honestly beginning to wonder if these "official" NFL hats are just a cruel joke played by immaculately coifed Reebok designers on overweight, balding football fans.

Is there any other explanation for all the white and stripes and moisture-wickingness lately? Let me tell you what you need: wool, one logo or letter, two colors and if you have to have an NFL or Reebok logo, put it on the back.

Everybody's happy and they all look like Joe Gibbs.

Any Reebok hats are crap. Most hats today are over styled and can only be worn by people trying to impersonate Turtle from Entourage. I waited my whole life for a Red Sox World Series cap and what I got was "FLEXFIT" from New Era. It's like a turtleneck for your head.
