We are also starting the Scurvy Dog(s) of the week award.

So without any further ado here they are. These Survy Dog(s) need to walk the plank:

1). Kim Etheridge and Terrell Owens

What could this woman possibly have been thinking Wednesday when she basically called the Dallas cops big, fat liars? And what was running through that little mind of hers when she made that tasteless “Terrell has 25 million reasons why he should be alive” comment? The 25 Million is the amount of the contract he signed with Dallas.

So I guess us little people with less than $25 million contracts have less reasons to live.

Owens has kept his mouth shut almost the entire time about this issue, and one can only interpret that by his apparent silence he must agree with her. These two issues bother me the most in this saga is:

1) She ridiculed three police officers that were only doing their job.
2) Her “25 million reasons” nonsense.

Money can buy you lots of possessions, but it can’t buy you happiness or contentment. Look at two events that may have gives Owens a reason to be depressed:

1) Owens longtime fiance and him finally decided they were finished, that was Monday night.
2) A child he has with another woman who lives in California was having his 7th birthday and Owen’s missed it.

Athletes are human not superhuman and their publicist need to remember that. Owens has been a controversial me, me, me type of self-absorbed athlete, but maybe now he and the rest of the world know he is only mortal like the rest of us.

2).Angilo Freeland

This guy has already walked the plank so he will get his reward posthumously. This is the idiot who killed Polk County Sheriff’s Deputy Vernon “Matt” Williams and his K-9 “Dogi” and seriously wounded another deputy. He was found hiding in an old, fallen oak tree and was shot to death by 7 SWAT team members.

His fingerprints taken during the autopsy we found to be those of Angilo Freeland who had actually been arrested in the area back in 1999, the police are still not sure if that is his real name, but it was the name used in the previous arrest:

Freeland was booked into the Polk County jail on five charges in 1999. He gave his date of birth as Christmas Day, 1978, which would make him 27.

Freeland was carrying a concealed firearm when the Florida Highway Patrol arrested him seven years ago for eluding police, resisting arrest without violence, reckless driving and not having a valid license.

Well looks like another loser bites the dust, sleep well with the fishes Freeland.

3).Mark Foley

Last but not least the Tampa Pirate Scurvy Dog of the Week award goes to House Representative Mark Foley (R-FL). This one should first be given 10 lashes with the cat-o-nine tails than made to walk the plank. They say the worse thing that can happen to your political career is getting caught with a live girl or a dead boy. Looks a live boy will screw it up too.

Foley, who was considered a very promising up and coming Republican, spent years trying to get his “pet project” bill approved. His pet project: a bill designed to get tough on sexual predators. It was approved and signed into law 2 months ago.

The new law imposes mandatory 10-year prison sentences for sex crimes against people under the age of 18. With the Internet in mind, it outlaws depictions of the sexual abuse of children and the transfer of obscene material to minors. It also shores up requirements for sex offenders to regularly report their whereabouts to authorities.

Along the way, his office sent out one public statement after another, often in bold capital letters, warning that convicted sex offenders were running loose, evading public scrutiny despite a law requiring them to be listed in a national registry.

“We track library books better than we track sex offenders,” was his frequent refrain. He also co-chaired the house caucus on missing and exploited children and recently introduced legislation to crack down on internet child pornography sites.

Well looks like Foley stepped in the crap this time. Apparently Foley resigned from Congress Friday after being confronted with sexually explicit Internet messages he reportedly sent to at least one, and possibly several, underage former male pages. YIKES…

“I am deeply sorry and I apologize for letting down my family and the people of Florida,” Foley said in a statement confirming that he would not seek re-election next month.
