More on: Ron Artest, Michael Vick, help, stupid (all tags)

You know that your world is going to hell in a hand basket when Ron Artest wants to be the person to help you turn things around. Well, guess what? Michael Vick's world is already reaching the bubbling depths of eternal fire and despair and, you got it, Ron Ron wants to be the one to pull Vick out and help him better understand that God fella he's supposedly found overnight.

I want to call him and support him, you know, be there for him," Artest said. "(He) lied and then came back and apologized to everybody, I felt that was classy. ... I was touched that he took full responsibility. I felt that was a real man. I know for a fact he'll come out a better person.

I think athletes just gotta be more aware," he said. "At times things happen so fast in your life, you just stay living that same lifestyle. You can't do it no more. I just hope people can take the mistakes I made, mistakes other people are making and just learn from them.

Listen, Artest, you can't even learn from your own mistakes, how are you expecting Vick to learn from `em? That's like asking Mike Tyson to help you through your domestic abuse incident. And that, my friend, would be simply inconceivable.
