Whacko Jacko Beats The Rap

By Steve Czaban on June 14, 2005 5:49 AM |

Now that Michael Jackson has sent hack prosecutor Tom Sneddon back to working cases of vagrants caught sleeping on the beach in Santa Barbara, I think it is reasonable to conclude the following lessons from the trial.

1. Money always wins. Okay, "usually wins..."

2. Black people CAN get a fair trial in America (although please refer to #1).

3. Martha Stewart went to jail and Eric Pederson is going to the electric chair, because it LOOKED like each one was guilty. OJ and Jacko are free, even though we know Jackson DID sleep with boys, and a civil trial DID say OJ was "responsible" for the deaths of Ron and Nicole.

4. Okay, Robert Blake looked dicey, but I guess that's one for "my side"...

5. If Ken Lay and Phil Spectre beat the rap, then we've REALLY got a problem.

What Would Irv Have Said?
Hi Steve: When Bob brought up the other day the things may have been different with Brett had Irv been around, I really got to thinking. Since Holmgren, and likely Wolf departed, and his dad died, Favre has had no one to really fear. Next up, Ray Rhodes and Mike Sherman, who let him run wild. Since he didn't have accountability, he could become more of a diva with no one to bring him down to earth. By the time Thompson and McCarthy came along and weren't willing to let Brett walk all over the team, he had been unaccountable for long enough that he couldn't handle it and resented it. Hurt feelings resulted from him having to answer to someone for a change, and from fewer special "Brett rules". I am very curious how he handles Mangini, whom I have been told by a Jets fan is hated by the players. And, wait till Mike Lupica shreds him by mid-October. Read the NY press, they are building him up and up, and they will love tearing him down. See ya, donkey, Terry Rindt Read more ...
