Ok, I tried to give the guy the benefit of the doubt, but evidently he is guilty. He says he is anyway. Now, he wants to know if he can still play football. Let's think about that. Could we live with him running an illegal gambling operation? Perhaps. Can we live with him being convicted of committing attrocious and inhumane acts against dogs? Hell, no!! Will he play football again? I sincerely doubt it. Somethings can be lived down. Forgotten. I just don't think this will ever go away. It reveals too much about his inner character, or lack of one.
I really wanted this guy to be innocent. I'm not even sure why. I am not a fan of the Atlanta Falcons. I have never met Micheal Vick. Maybe it was for all those kids with the Michael Vick poster in their rooms, who viewed him as an inspiration, something to look up to, a goal they could aspire to. Why'd you have to be such a prick, Michael? Damn.
While they await sentence, I believe they all should be locked in cages at the local dog pound. I don't think anyone is going to adopt them. Let them wait and see if their number gets called, if you know what I mean.
What do you think would be a just and reasonable punishment for these guys?
