THE NEWS HACK'S CREED:
I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.
I appear on TV all the time.
I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 2:
A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.
--JOHN "OMERTA" CARROLL.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

A number of scribblers with an advanced notion of justice believe our friend the dogfighting impresario should be allowed to play. Fine. Let him play -- to the sight of thousands of opposing fans in dog masks, and the sound of barking and howling and "Hound Dog" and "How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?", and the posters: "Lock Vick Up in the Pound", "Throw Him to the Dogs", "Vick! Play Dead", "Humane League Poster Boy", "ConVICKt", and so forth. It would be an amusing spectacle. And so yes, he should play -- unless, of course, he comes to whatever little he has of his senses and takes a leave of absence...before the con-vick-tion.

P. S. at 9:58 a.m. Another reason he'll play:

The Falcons face an estimated salary cap hit of about $6 million this year and $15 million in 2008 if they release Vick — devastating hits to any team’s budget.
