Report: Jeff's "Michael Vick Night" idea wasn't a joke

According to ESPN, the Kansas City T-Bones of the Northern League planned to have a Michael Vick-themed "Welcome to the Neighborhood" party "complete with prison uniforms, spotlights and escape sirens. Other events promoting caring for animals also were planned." No, seriously.


"Stop makin' fun of me!"

Unfortunately, the idea was dropped following a substantial amount of complaints. Though, it's a funny idea and I guess it could be beneficial in raising animal abuse awareness. But when the Vick fiesta involves "a dog parade, pregame dog adoptions and entertainment by Rockin' Ray and the Sky Dogs," I'm not sure if the concept of getting imprisoned for hurting your pets would really strike a chord in the crowd.

In related news, the Las Vegas Cathouse Softball Team is holding a Pacman Jones-themed "Make It Rain" night, complete with strippers and violence.
