Chris Rock joined the show from the set of Grown Ups to discuss Michael Vick.
Rock had interesting comments on Michael Vick. He said if he could interview him, he would ask him what dogfighting meant to him growing up. Rock says these things are always relative. Rock said the Kennedys were drug dealers. They sold alcohol during prohibition. But it doesn't seem that bad from a different perspective years later.
Rock said that maybe Vick grew up in a sitauation where dogfighting wasn't so bad.
"Dogfighting's very prevalent in the South," Rock said. Rock also pointed out that we hunt, and many people consider that wrong.
"Why is a dog so much better than a deer?" Rock asked. "I see no difference between a dog and a deer."
Rock said look at marijuana ... it's illegal now, but who knows. "In our lifetime, pot will be legal," Rock said.
"I don't think marijuana is any different than selling beer," Rock said. "We know there's more deaths related to alcohol than marijuana."
Rock said the NFL doesn't care about animal rights. That's not what this is about. "The ball is made of pigskin," Rock said. "They don't care about animals."
Rock says this is all about convinience. "We want to cite the law when it works to our advantage," Rock said. |
