This whole Michale Vick thing is confusing - should he or shouldn't he be able to play professional football?
This morning I was listening to ESPN radio - the announcer (name escapes me now) was detailing how Michael Vick tortured dogs...hanging them in a tree soaking wet then electrocuted them with jumper cables and laughed when they would cry out for their life. He is reported to have drowned his family's dog in their swimming pool and cheering while he was doing this horrible act.
It wasn't just one time Michael Vick tortured our canine friends...he did it regularly for SIX YEARS. Someone suggested Dante Stallworth's drunk driving and killing someone while doing so is also bad. For sure it is bad but as the ESPN announcer pointed out - Dante Stallworth didn't wake up that morning and plan to kill someone while he drove "under the influence". Michale Vick got great pleasure in his maiming of dogs...its a little different. Its a lot different.
Now, 2 1/2 years of prison time for his crimes against dogs Michael Vick is reinstated in the NFL and is playing for the Philadelphia Eagles...back up to Donavan McNabb. He can only play in two exhibition games then has to sit out the first part of the regular season... Uhhhh... WTF? God, I'm not sure this man should be allowed to walk among other men let alone play football. I've heard he is sorry...he's going to be on 60 Minutes tomorrow night saying how sorry he is. For the love of everything holy, he should be sorry...
It has been reported Michael Vick has a bad ass temper and that he "gave the finger" to the fans in the stadium the last time he played before being arrested and incarcerated for his dastardly deeds against dogs. He was found to have smoked pot just before his sentencing over two years ago. Hmmmm...
Tony Dungy (former Indianapolis Colts coach) has been Michael Vick's mentor during his time of being in prison and also since his release after 2 1/2 years behind bars. Wow prison for 2 1/2 years...is that enough time for him to be truly sorry for what he did? Enough time for the public to be able to get over what he did to dogs? I don't know...I just don't want to think he did those things and I want to let him get on with his life. But is he really sorry? Its a puzzlement.
