I believe he feels sorry that he lost out on a lot of money and had to sit in jail. I do not think he has fought his last dog.
Probably because any time any of them say even the slightest tinniest thing otherwise, it gets ripped and pulled apart. People like to blame that kind of thing on the media, but it's every bit as bad here.Look back at some of the threads that have been started on this board over player comments that there was absolutely nothing wrong with.
Vick paid for his crimes to the fullest extent. Guys entire life was brought down and he was in a cell for a year.I do think he is ashamed of what he did but also very pissed that with all going on in the world the government decided to throw the book at him.Guy deserves to be left alone at this point not to have his humility questioned.
I blame the corporatization of sports. Image is measured in dollars and these guys love their money. Now you get a lame, staged, family friendly trophy presentation on the field after the championship. I miss the times when fans went berserker on the field and the players showered each other with booze in the locker room. It's all about selling crap food, lousy beer and boner pills now.
After what he personally did to those dogs, I think he deserves to have his humility questioned. He's a damn good football player though.
I believe you have felt sorry about something in the past also.....after you were busted. I think Vick is reformed and he's fought his last dog.
There are worse crimes that get punished to a lesser extent. Same goes with Plaxico. An example was made of Vick and I don't necessary think that was a bad thing. These guys are world class idiots.
No kidding. Basically you take the words gameplan, execute & team, and arrange them as needed.
League vote? What kind of lame dictatorship are you running???
Goodell has his thing, I have mine.
Sure, that's okay, but then you better damned well be a perfect human being yourself.
Lol, exactly my thought.The day I have to vote so that my holier-than-thou commissioner will allow the league to draft the best QB in fantasy football is the day I look for a less phony-baloney, judgmental league.Maybe it's just me, but I prefer to NOT be treated like a child when playing ff.
Being a FF commissioner is very serious business.
Funniest thing I've read all day. Don't treat me like a child when I'm playing pretend!You have now stated "personally" twice as if it gives gravity to the situation. If it was #### fighting NOBODY WOULD CARE, but because Fido at home is so cute when he fetches your slippers you are incapable of believing Vick is remorseful.
FF is gambling not D & D
I'm sure there are guys laying money down on D & D somewhere, spinning their 16 sided dice. It's not a big deal, it's funny.You have now stated "personally" twice as if it gives gravity to the situation. If it was #### fighting NOBODY WOULD CARE, but because Fido at home is so cute when he fetches your slippers you are incapable of believing Vick is remorseful.FF is gambling not D & D
Really? Funniest thing you've read all day? Congrats on being so easily amused...glad I could bring a smile to your face.
Settle down. It sounded funny to me, no harm meant. Lets not take this stuff too seriously. It is pretend football after all.Really? Funniest thing you've read all day? Congrats on being so easily amused...glad I could bring a smile to your face.
FF is a game, like sports or cards. A game that many grown-ups even put money into. I was stating that I, as a grown-up, prefer to not have a Big Brother over my shoulder telling who I can and can't draft, or how to manage my team.
It does add gravity for me. Big time. What kind of person does those things? Especially with his OWN hands.And being able to do it to it to his family dogs makes it even worse because it feels like a step below child abuse. Especially when you consider that by all accounts, he took specific and meditated pleasure in their torture.Sorry dude. Like I said, I have and do forgive him for as long as he continues to do the right thing. But it's hard to completely believe and not mistrust what would be a very dramatic turnaround in character. He's got a long way to go before I trust him again.
If he was white, he probably wouldn't have been fighting dogs. He might have had a tee time instead.
Fair enough.I've had my NyQuil and I'm settled.
Or raping women in bathrooms.

This is the most sane thing I've read on this board in awhile. We hate what we create. Our media has trained a loud minority of our society to be so hypersensitive to anything slightly off kilter that most public figures are accustomed to becoming robots in interviews. Vick and others tiptoe through their responses like a guy walking through a minefield. These answers are probably taken directly from some kind of 'dealing with the press for dummies' handbook...anything else and that small group of us will be 'appalled' and demand apologies or organize boycotts, etc.
you can take a boy out of the hood but... you know the rest.That'll show him.'Sabertooth said:
There are more white dog fighters than there are black. it has nothing to do with race.on a local radio show I even heard a caller compare it to hunting for white people...
GREAT LINK here. Very revealing that Vick says in the G.Q. interview that he wishes he could get dogs for his children and that they are being hurt because he is banned from dog ownership: BUT as the interviewee on the link reveals, the publicly available court transcripts show that on two separate occasions Vick actually threw his childrens' family pets (not fighting dogs, his kids' family pets) into the dog fighting pits and watched them being torn apart.'Not Sure said:
