When his brother was going though this legal issues, I took a look at Michael Vick and said--he is the classy Vick--Marcus can never be his brother. Now, I am disgusted by the whole thing. First, the largest of the charges is over the gambling--not the fact that he killed 8 dogs. I am an animal lover. It has been very difficult to learn about this dog fighting culture and to see how the animals are treated. What kind of man can hang dogs from trees and drown them? These dogs were mean, but still defenseless against the torture. Disposable lives--just how we want our role models behaving. Thank you. I was talking with a mom after all of this was in the news. She said that her son didn't know about all of this and simply admired him for how he performs on the field. No doubt, Michael Vick did rise to every media challenge and physical challenge out there. She said that as far as a role model, he should be looking at her for that. Simple truth--it doesn't happen. It's not until we are older that we look at our parents as role models and heroes. So as a mom, how do you handle this situation? How long will the child stay oblivious to the off the field/court antics? The radio stations around here have been running this story into the ground. I listen to a lot of talk radio to and from work. Did Michael get what he deserves? Not for us to say. Plea deals and such will take care of that. But what I will say is that the biggest punishment (and best in my opinion) would be to deprive him of his passion in life--football. I think he should be finished in the NFL. But perhaps the Cowboys will pick him up--just like TO. Hey, he plays good ball, right? I think Michael Vick is only sorry over this because he got caught. I'm disgusted.

And that it’s not an intoxicated 14 year old girl — oh wait, that’s Marcus.

I'm just glad the asshole is going down on something.
