Must not be a great week to be a Indian this week!Michal Vick is one hell of a player. I hate him, but love to watch him play. I would LOVE to have him on the Chiefs Team. He just made that whole team better.

Speaking of which, I was an idiot for benching Brady for Freeman just because the Pats were facing the Steelers.
Brady made me pay, of course, but at least Freeman wasn't terrible.
Oh boy ~ Well, I respectively disagree with your saying "he didn't kill your dog". No, he didn't, but I don't comprehend why that should matter? In theory of principle, if I accept such a way of thinking...then I shouldn't be upset if someone killed or abused someone elses kid, as long as it wasn't my kid???
My heart feels pain & compassion for abuse victims, human or animal, regardless of whether or not they're mine. Intensifying the pain & upset is what was done to Vick's dogs was unquestionably sadistic and evil in nature. I simply can't be complacent or not give a damn because they weren't my dogs.
Simply for sake of explaining how deeply I love dogs...I have risked my own life three times to save the life of a dog. I retrieved one from a burning vehicle. I fought off the people who tried to pull me away, so that I could save the dog, and I did. The vehicle exploded as I ran from the vehicle carrying the 50 lb dog in my arms. I suffered minor burns on my fingers & hands...the door handles were very hot as I opened them to find the dog trapped inside. I believe I still have the front page newspaper article covering the fire & rescue. Nothing remained of the vehicle but the motor, steel frame & other steel parts once the fire dept. extinquished the blaze.
Another dog I attempted to save from drowning after a freak electricution. Knowing the pond had live electricity, but not sure where...I still went into the pond to retrieve the dog. I tried CPR and breathing into it's mouth once I had the dog laid on land. Sadly, my efforts failed, the dog died. I'll spare you the third story. It never occurred to me I was being foolish risking my own life each time, I simply reacted naturally to save the dogs.
I have adopted many abused dogs over the years, have seen the damage abuse does...it's no different than that done to humans. Dogs have emotions, they love, hate, laugh, cry, etc.. The Black Lab I currently have, Dakota, I adopted from the shelter 4 yrs ago, he had been abused by his previous owners. He is such a wonderful loving friend, truly a best friend.
I do agree that I wouldn't want to meet those dogs, however, they didn't stand a chance from birth to be anything but mean, violent, agressive. That's not their fault...that's greedy, cruel, & selfish humans fault.
I'm no Peta radical, there are major differences between killing an animal instinctively as humans, and humanely as possible for food, such as with raising cattle for beef, or even wildlife hunting. I do disagree with inhumane slaughter, or those who hunt for sport killing, and no other justified reason. I will hurt for any animal abused, and be angry at the abuser.

Vick would make our team better! No matter what he did or didn't do! I am all for my Chiefs getting better and winning the grand prize of the Super Bowl! I also like dogs, what he did was horrifying, wrong and stupid. He payed his time according to the laws of the land. Bring Vick to KC!! Not gonna happen but that is what dreaming is for.
Then I guess you will just continue to despise the guy.
I won't.
Not everyone is raised with the same respect for the lives of animals.
Myself, I have no respect for mosquitoes, termites, wasps, or moles, just to name a few.
I respect the species', but those little %@&*^ &$%@#s better stay away from me, individually.
Does that mean that I think that what he did is OK? Not at all.
I will never forget what he did.
But I will forgive him.
The law came down on him hard. And he paid his debt to society. Never seen a millionaire actually pay for their crimes, like that, before.
If he were a Chief, I would root for him like crazy. Not just on the field. But as a man trying to do right.
Does it matter to you if he returns to dog fighting? Or would you be happier if he were never to return to it?
No one should hold ill will against Vick. He Fd up.
He paid for it.
You know what pisses me off.
Vick got two years and Dante Stallworth got 30 days. Dont get me started.
But becuz Vick and the dogs are a story, (and people get killed all the time therefore boring news).the media worked Vick and not Stallworth. Stallworth gets away virtually scott free ( and leonard Little). Dammit i said dont get me started.
It's NY bunch of retards! Your state is nearly bankrupt yet you put a tax payer that makes millions a year in jail. now he ends up paying no taxes, and is fact costing other tax payers money to support him. We need to lock up people that are threats to society not dummies that shoot them selfs in the leg. Fine him, put him on probation, make him to community service IDK but locking him up is ignorant.
