Mark Buehrle’s wife Jamie Buehrle have a son named Braden born in July, 2007 and a daughter named Brooklyn born in March, 2009.
The Buehrle’s are dog people, evidenced by Buehrle donating the proceeds of his “Buerh-lot” wine sales to a local animal shelter. Knowing that, it’s probably a pretty safe assumption that they wouldn’t love Mike Vick.
Well lucky for us, because we no longer need to assume, since Jamie Buehrle decided that her opinion is somehow relevant to this discussion. Jamie stated that Vick shouldn’t be reinstated to the NFL(because, you know, Roger Goodell consults her opinion on disciplinary matters). But it’s not for the reasons you may think. No, Jamie says that he shouldn’t be reinstated until he pays back all of his creditors. Her bulletproof logic is that the banishment should be handed down since, “those dogs have not seen the benefit of that money.”
So she’s obviously bullshitting us, which is fine here. She hates Vick because he did some pretty heinous stuff to dogs, and she is 100% entitled to that opinion. But what bugs me(and I won’t say us, because I think I’m on an island here), is that Mark Buehrle is an AVID hunter. He is the type of hunter that annoys you with his “look how big my dick is” hunting stories where he’ll brag about his kills. He recently bragged to a completely un-enthralled throng of Chicago reporters about taking down a black bear with a bow and arrow.
Now that’s where I draw the line. I’m a black bear fan, and for him to kill those bears is just unacceptable. I demand that he be suspended from baseball since “those bears have not seen the benefit” of Mark’s salary. This is a travesty.
See how dumb that logic sounds now? In the same interview, Jamie began with an eloquent, cogent, and rational argument as to why she disagreed with dog fighting on principle. Fine, I’m with you. It’s pretty gross. But she lost me when she decided to transparently attempt to use his bankruptcy issues as the reason why she thought Vick should remain banned from the league. If you like dogs and hate Vick for what he did then say it and have the stones to stand behind it. If you have nothing of value to add to the discussion then don’t spout off to test drive a ridiculously supported opinion. This theory you’re putting out there does nothing to help further your case against animal cruelty. All it does is further the case to prove you’re a moron. BOOM. Roasted.

HILARIOUS. points well made, well said.
I hate to say it, but you’re an idiot. Some day you will look back on what you wrote here and be embarrassed by it.
Read it again, and I still feel fine with it. I thoroughly disagree with 1) her weighing in publicly on Mike Vick and 2) using his bankruptcy as a thinly veiled reason reason to support a continued suspension, when she clearly hates him for dogfighting. She sounded like a ridiculous Around the Horn panelist trying to just say something different, and I called it out.
Maybe the mike vick fans should hope for some injuries for the Buehrle kids or
maybe an arm injury for Mark.
in the abstract i’d vote for both just so people would learn its not right to
look for anyone to be hurt.
should be interesting what the future will hold
In doglanguage, Karma’s a bitch. This might come back to bite him, maybe’ll he’ll be injured or have a significant amount of losses. Play ball
I hope his dogs eat Brooklyn’s face off. There, wish granted.
THANK YOU so much for standing up to Michael Vick. He is a disgusting human being for what he did to all of those dogs. Not only was he abusive to pit bulls he used other dogs as bait dogs. I have nightmare’s over this. He should have never beeen able to get back on the NFL. It is not right. Thank you again for standing up to him for the horrendous acts he commited on those poor defenseless dogs!
Let me ask you an honest question:
Mark Buehrle baits bears. If you’re unaware, he literally brings food to one location over a period of time, then ultimately perches in a tree waiting to kill the bear.
How is that any different at all?
Help me to understand how in the hell it is ok to bring Buehrle’s kids into this!!!! Those that commented in that regard are sick, sick, sick people. Regardless of people’s opinions, which they are entitled too, it is not ok, or even morally correct to bring children into a discussion such as this. Shame on you!!!!
This article is ridiculous. Yes, Buehrle hunts and fishes. He also eats the meat he collects from those animals. Vick hurt domesticated animals for his own benefit. Those two things are nothing alike and should not be compared.
You “jumped the shark” with this post. I will no longer be visiting your site.
Wow,… can’t believe we “jumped the shark,” three years ago by posting a tongue in cheek commentary to her comments that she had no business making. By Stan… won’t miss you pal.
Fuck all you sick ignorant sad people for dragging my innocent nephew an niece into his and wishing ANY harm to them….OR any child for that matter. I’ll be dammed I I sit back and say nothing. I’m not sure who you think you are or what horse you think you ride on, but grow the fuck up and get a life.
And to the person who wrote this article, shame on you. Why don’t you put your writing skills to an actual productive use and do something positive???
Amy Buehrle English, can you please have Jamie check her “Others folder” on Facebook, please?
