In this installation of Stupid Athletes Week, I'm a little disappointed. I liked Stephon Marbury for his whole "Starbury" shoe thing, but then he opened his mouth:New York Knicks guard Stephon Marbury defended Michael Vick, calling dogfighting a sport and comparing it to hunting. Marbury spoke Monday about the federal dogfighting conspiracy charges against Vick while promoting his basketball shoe in Albany, N.Y. "I think it's tough," Marbury said, according to Albany TV station Capital News 9. "I think, you know, we don't say anything about people who shoot deer or shoot other animals. You know, from what I hear, dogfighting is a sport. It's just behind closed doors."Oh, Stephon. What were you thinking?
Huntn' ain't so great, but even a slack-jawed yokel can recognize the difference between that and dogfighting; at least huntn' serves a purpose at times. The whole point of dogfighting is to gamble. Hunters don't usually strangle or hang animals. There's a reason why "we don't say anything about people who shoot deer or shoot other animals," but I doubt Marbury lives in our world. Dumbass.

All he had to do was keep his mouth shut....why does he feel any need to weigh in at all? Whatever happened to "no comment"?
Such a dumbass! He just surpassed Portis on that one. Big time. Think he has the sense to attempt an "apology"?
Just for amusement purposes, I would love to see him try to apologize. I hope he steps in dog shit today.
