One thing's for certain: the likelihood of it being a Bengal is exponentially higher than it being a player from any other team.

Actually Pittsburgh's had more arrests according to turd watch

More arrest than who? the Bengals? If so, then list them please.

Here's the link to Turd Watch.I have no idea of its accuracy.

 

[St.Anger]

Was just on CNN...no names mentioned yet but there seems to be another player found to be invloved. I am sure we will get that name soon! It was also said that Dog fighting is very active in Arizona. Who is it??

Obviously Kurt Warner

now that's funny

The Steelers have their own share of issues with players and coaches. This year they making the Bengals look good. :(

Linebacker Antonio Pierce breeds pit bulls in Southern California, but denied ever using them for fighting. He said he barely knows Michael Vick, the Falcons quarterback who faces felony charges of running a dogfighting ring in Virginia. Pierce has three dogs, he said, and only gives dogs to people he knows well. He uses them primarily as an accessory for strutting on the beach. “Our thing is to go to Venice Beach, Malibu, Long Beach and walk with our dogs,” Pierce said. On the topic of dogfighting, he added: “It’s nothing good that can come out of that, and I have nothing to do with it.”

It's unpossible to make the Bungles look good.Zierlein's porn, DeShea's dropped assault charges, Joey's not a Steeler anymore, a cut pimp, and an associated HGH dealing physician don't even add up to one Chris Henry.Sorry, the Bungholes still rule the roost er...jailyard.

Yeah, I know about that thing, I just have no idea how they accumulate points or whatever. No way do the Steelers come close to the Bungholes in # of arrests over the past few years.

 

[treat88]

Since it's called the turd watch, I believe they assigned Dumpenport the maximum number of points based on principle alone.

Not reflective of reality.

Bungholes are the worst facilitators of criminal behavior of any major sports organization in recent history.

Way to be Warden Marvin.

If you look closer, you'll see that those are for this year, not past years. So it appears the Steelers fans have found themselves being victims of what they've decried for the last couple of years. Ain't it getting fun now?

odds that Pierce is being truthful about not knowing much about dog fighting .00001 % or is this to high?

The points are for 07 only and the scoring is as follows:

The scoring system is simple. Seven points for a felony arrest. Three points for a misdemeanor arrest. One point for a conviction. If there are multiple charges, the points will stack, too.

This is the big point winner in Pittsburgh:

5/10/07: Steelers LB Richard Seigler is arrested and charged with three felonies relating to allegedly acting as a pimp.

Just so everybody knows the tally to date:Miami=68

Jax=42

Tenn=31

Tampa=30

Atlanta=26

Pitt=24

Cinn=22

So that's 6 teams outdualing Cinn including Pitts.

 

[QUEZILLA]

If I had to guess an Arizona player, I would say Edge. If anyone has ever seen that Madden show on ESPN it showed one of the contestants going to Miami to play against the guy he was representing, Edge. Anyways, he met him in some ghetto house with burglar bars on the windows that had a house full of people that looked like the prototypical dog-fighter. In all seriousness, they looked like the kind of people burglar bars were invented to keep out, but maybe I profile a little too much...

Nice spin, but all the Bengals are too busy pleading guilty, spending time in rehab, plea bargaining, or fighting in court this year for all the crap they did last year to work on getting arrested again. Give it time.

From PFT here..saying NFL players are likely now being Blackmailed by people who know of there involvment in Dog Fighting.

OTHER NFL DOG FIGHTERS FACING BLACKMAIL?

A reader has raised with us a great point about the latest twist in the Mike Vick dog fighting scandal.

With Tony Taylor enter on Monday morning in Virginia a guilty plea on federal conspiracy charges, which presumably will entail testimony against the other three co-defendants (including Vick), do other dog fighters who currently collect NFL paychecks now face private blackmail threats from folks who have been at dog fights with them, and who might be inclined to blow the whistle to the police, the league, and/or the media?

The problem is that folks who would spend time watching dogs tear each other apart for amusement aren't necessarily the most reputable members of society, and could be inclined to pursue the quick cash hit that could come from telling an NFL player that, absent a generous contribution to the Human Fund, his involvement in this "hobby" will be revealed.

Our guess is that it's already happening -- and it's all the more reason for NFL players who have in the past shown their "passion" for dog fighting to find something else to pass the time when they aren't practicing or playing football.

Of course, if any of the folks who attend dog fights and then try to extort money from an NFL player were to go public, who would believe them? Guys like Tony Taylor have built-in credibility problems by virtue of the things that they have done, and it makes any of their claims instantly suspect.

Surely, that's the approach that lawyer Billy Martin will take in defending Vick in court. By relentlessly attacking the truth-telling capacity of the four unnamed (for now) cooperating witnesses and Taylor, Martin will hope to create sufficient reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors.

The other side of the coin is that these are the very people with whom Mike Vick chose to associate. Absent a clear motive for each of these five people to tell lies under oath about him, or other evidence that shows that these witnesses were incorrect in any conclusions that they reached about Vick's involvement, the notion that the word of five different people should be rejected (especially if Vick opts not to testify) is bit of a stretch.

I thought they already said it was former RB LeShaun Johnson.

Pierce is widely regarded as a standup guy and a good team leader and teammate. While that guarantees nothing off the field, he's the kind of guy who I'd be surprised to learn was caught up in stuff like this.

SPCA accuses Giants' Pierce of neglecting dog

Thursday, February 14, 2008

BY BRIAN T. MURRAY

Star-Ledger Staff

Giants middle linebacker Antonio Pierce was served with a sum mons yesterday for animal neglect based on the condition of one of two pitbulls that escaped from his Monroe Township home days be fore the Super Bowl.

The Middlesex County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, a quasi-law enforcement group that investigates animal abuse cases, issued the lone municipal court complaint. Walt Mychal chyk, chief of the agency, said the neglect charge carries a fine upon conviction, but he cautioned against any comparison with Michael Vick, the Atlanta Falcons quarterback sentenced to a 23-month prison term after a federal dogfighting conviction.

"This summons is for neglect. There is no pitbull fighting or any of that nonsense here," said My chalchyk. "After the dogs got loose, we found that one was underweight and had a respiratory illness. The other one was fine."

It was Jan. 30 when Monroe Township animal control officer Frank Faraone was notified of two loose dogs and rounded them up. Mychalchyk said it was unclear at the time whom the dogs belonged to, but further investigation determined that they were owned by Pierce and appeared to have escaped a fenced enclosure by pushing open or nosing under a gate.

Faraone took one dog to a local shelter, but notified the SPCA that the second dog appeared underweight. That dog was taken to a veterinarian, who determined that it suffered from a respiratory illness, said Mychalchyk.

"Both dogs are now in a kennel. They are back in his (Pierce's) cus tody, but he has them in a kennel," said Mychalchyk. "I checked on them the other day, and both dogs are doing well. The summons charges that Mr. Pierce failed to provide proper food, water and veterinarian care."

Pierce declined comment yesterday through a Giants spokesman. It was unclear who was charged with watching the dogs while Pierce was in Arizona prepar ing for his team's Super Bowl vic tory.

Years ago Verron Haynes was featured in an ESPN article with a pit bull that he bought from OutKast's Big Boi. Haynes went to Georgia, which is also the home state of Vick and OutKast. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a connection there. I also wouldn't be surprised to learn that there's a pretty extensive underground dog fighting scene involving rappers and professional athletes. Both groups have lots of money and seem to pride themselves on being tough guys. Dog fighting is the kind of stupid macho activity that the lesser of these sorts might engage in to enhance their perceived manhood. Joey Porter is a believable choice given that he has a connection to Haynes and isn't know for demonstrating the best judgment.

I'm not a huge rap fan.. but I love dogs... I've owned many pit bulls... right now all I have is one american bulldog and one rotty mix... but as far as I know there is absolutely nothing sketchy about Big Boi's Kennels... they breed very beautiful dogs and none are for fighting. They actually breed "blue" Pitbulls there which you can't really find for less then about $1500. Just because he's a rapper doesn't tie him to that BS at all. A couple of his pits have won many awards at shows... he's a real deal breeder and from the look of his operation and business i highly doubt that he advocates fighting the dogs or any kind of abuse... good luck getting one of his dogs for under a G. I know this is kind of off-topic... just didn't like somebodies name being thrown under the bus because of his primary occupation.
