Michael Vick's PETA Test Demonstrates Why He Has Trouble Recognizing Defenses
Tuesday, January 27, 2009
The Mike Vick rehabilitation campaign is underway. Whatever, and I mean whatever you do, don't ever treat a dog with disrespect. Shoot someone instead. Otherwise you might have to grovel at the feet of PETA by taking their test on animal empathy, safety, hell, I don't know what the purpose of this test is. Just that Vick got a 73.5 out of a 100 and you can read his answers to the test questions here.
Reader Brian P. was kind enough to send along this link. Along with his own favorite answer of the test:
One of my favorite parts is heroic tale of dog loyalty which had me on the edge of my seat.
"Loyalty: My Aunt Tina own a Rotti name Tico. Once my aunt + her boyfriend Wayne was having an intense fight. Tico couldnt get into the house + thought my Aunt Tina was in danger. She jump through a class window + pinned my Aunt boyfriend Wayne to the ground just growling until my Aunt called her off. Now thats loyalty."
5/5 indeed Michael.
My personal favorite answer is this one:
"One act which really blew my mind was a two month old piglet who went after a drowning little boy in a story I read. Now that's heroic.
(Vick then starts a story about a wolf, but scratches it out and goes with another animal.)
Another was about a deer that wouldn't leave his mate and took a buttel for her. These actions tells us that animals are really social among each other.
Yeah, he wrote buttel when, presumably, he meant bullet. But, on the positive side, Vick is really good at summing up animal actions and morals of the animal story. Except, you know, when an animal doesn't do what he wants and he electrocutes them. These actions tells Vick that dogs are great conduits for electricity.
Seriously, buttel?
Virginia Tech should be very proud, very proud indeed.
What if the Wonderlic test was replaced with an essay contest? How much would you pay to read some of these tests? Labels: michael vick peta test buttel trouble recognizing defenses

Travis has become enamored of several objects, phrases or events which he frequenly references in the column. Among the most frequent:
'Bama Bangs - a term coined by Travis to refer to southern men's hairstyles that feature prominent bangs for no apparent reason. Brodie Croyle and John Parker Wilson are oft-cited violators of 'Bama Bangs rules.

When Clay Travis, acclaimed author of Dixieland Delight, decided to spend the 2008 season up close and personal with UT football, he—and every other college football aficionado—thought he was in for a rollicking ride with one of the leading contenders for the national title. After all, when the Vols kicked off the season on September 1, the defending SEC East champions were ranked 18th in the country. As head coach Phillip Fulmer prepared for the game, he reflected upon a coaching career that included an astounding 147 victories, two SEC championships, and a national title. With 34 years at UT under his belt as both a player and coach, the Tennessee native had just signed a contract extension that projected to keep him at the university long enough to become the winningest coach in program history.

There is no college ball more passionate and competitive than football in the Southeastern Conference, where seven of the twelve schools boast stadiums bigger than any in the NFL and 6.5 million fans hit the road every year to hoot and holler their teams to victory.

The newly favored man is not really a man at all, but a hairless, effeminate, germ-fearing, non-meat-eating, exfoliating, wristband-wearing woman of the worst order. We as men are told that we must embrace the sacred feminine in ourselves, even if it doesn't actually exist, and become the very quintessence of woman, plus penises. This situation is untenable. This trend must stop.

Clay Travis is the only former student manager in the history of college athletics to marry an NFL cheerleader. He managed to pull this off despite an irrational affinity for the television shows Dawson's Creek and My Super Sweet 16. While being raised in Nashville, Tenn., Travis developed a healthy obsession with college sports and Alyssa Milano. As a teenager his greatest accomplishment was taking a doo-rag wearing Luke Duke (balling as Tom Wopat) to the hole at the Nashville YMCA.
In the midst of a stellar legal career during which he specialized in rewarding the unjust and punishing the oppressed, Travis began writing for CBS Sports's SPiN section in September 2005...
