Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are still around now.

I LOVE my dog to death and would likely kill anyone who tried to hurt him.....

HOWEVER....

There is a SERIOUS fucking problem in this country when people are hung up on a guy who was caught in a gambling ring for dog fighting, when people are getting slaps on the wrist and their crimes forgotten about when they kill another human being...Seriously, that's fucked up. Vick served more time in a MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON for dog fighting, than some guys do for murdering a HUMAN...Ray Lewis, accomplice to murder...hailed as a hero...Pacman Jones, murder...no one mentions it.

Sorry, I hate Vick too, but some people seriously have lost their sense of reason...

^^^ I'm glad someone said something good about him. I'm no huge Vick fan, I didn't even want him on my team, (because of his style of play), but he did his time, as prescribed by the law that we ALL follow, and the guys that were doing a lot more to the dogs than he did, are still in jail. Nobody talks about them though, it's all Vick.

Dogfighting was around long before Vick was, and is STILL happening, all over the place. Vick is doing more about that now than any of us are, so . . .

Like him or not, dude went to jail for what he did, he didn't get off. By comparison, OJ got off much lighter than Vick did.
