Michael Vick article on ESPN here
I love what is going on with the whole Michael Vick redemption story- dogfighting ring, goes to jail, comeback to NFL and star again, these stories are always good for the NFL and the first big hollywood studio to buy the rights to it. But I feel like this is either a joke or Vick trying to find exactly where the line is. Congrats #7, you found the it!!!
Come on now Vick, telling the media you would like to own a dog again?!? That is hysterical. You may have gotten the most probowl votes this year but last year's halloween most popular costumes were people wearing Vick jerseys with little puppy dolls attached to them. If I can still remember those commercials from PETA showing images of pitbulls in rehab looking for a home, then it is definitely still too soon to tell the public about that itching for a dog like Lindsay Lohan gets the itch for a snort...can't be a good thing! Vick thinking of getting a dog is like Madoff asking for a position to run an investment group again! I could just picture Vick up all night in a heavy sweat saying to himself "Just one more dog thats all I need and I'll get my fix!"
My daughters miss having one, and that's the hardest thing: Telling them that we can't have one because of my actions.
That's right Mr. Vick you will have to tell your daughter she can't have one because of your actions. That should be the hardest thing you have to say to her...of course beating out: "Hey babe, I have to go to jail for at least a year so no daddy" or "Baby girl, I lost all our money because I used your playground in the backyard for an organized dog fighting ring...oh and sorry about Fluffy though, she just wasnt a good fighter and you know what happens to bad fighting dogs right sweetie?".
Where the hell is this guy's priorities? A broke, ex-con's hardest thing is telling his kid she can't have a dog? Get her a damn cat! Unless you have some other home in Virignia that hasn't been discovered yet where cats fight over a ball of yarn and loser gets fed to the pitbulls.
Just when fans start warming up to Vick and seeing he still has entertaining skills and can move around like no other QB, he sets himself back. Most people will find this cute and give sympathy to the Vick family for the lack of ability to get a dog. I, on the other hand, feel this is worse than that kid who held up his classmates saying "I'd like to give this whole school thing another try!" It ain't happening!
What would have made this article truly hysterical would've been had the reporter responded to Vicks comment: "Why do you feel you can't have a dog?" If it's okay for Vick to ask for one, it should be okay to ask why not. That is how you know it's too soon. First bring a Super Bowl to Philly, then you can have all the dogs you want, but word of advice, don't let your daughter ask for strong pitbulls Mike!
