Emmitt Smith Apparently Can't Read

Another blow to the University of Florida's academic reputation.

At any rate, the evidence of Smith's illiteracy? These quotes on the Michael Vick indictment:

"Now, granted he might have been to a dogfight a time or two, maybe five times, maybe 20 times, may have bet some money, but he's not the one you're after. He's not the one you're after, he's just the one whose going to take the fall -- publicly."

Um...or, if he had read the indictment (assuming literacy), maybe realized that Vick kinda sorta actually did, ah, murder animals. In between "been to a dogfight" (maybe 20 times).

While we're here, hey, Emmitt? This is kind of the opposite of how prosecutors work:

"He's the biggest fish in the whole doggone pond right now so they're putting the squeeze on him to get to everyone else."

Ah, no. Prosecutors put the squeeze on the littler fish to get to the bigger fish. Even the very capable US Attorneys in Eastern Virginia. And it very much appears that Vick is the biggest of the fish.

In January 2003, a group of sports-loving friends launched The Sports Frog. In the time since, we have become an oasis for intelligent sports discussion on the Web. That's right, we said oasis. If you are here for the first time be sure to swing by The Swamp and join the conversation.
